Abstract
The classical mind-body problem persists as one of the deepest scientific mysteries. Despite the grand claims of the new AI, some of the most basic facts of human vision cannot be explained by current or proposed theories of brain structure and function. This paper reviews some well-known mysteries including the neural binding problem, blind sight, subjective experience and prosthetics. There is continuing progress, but the core mysteries of the mind seem to require fundamental advances for any reductionist resolution.
