The relation between subjective consciousness and the physical brain is widely regarded as the last mystery facing science. The author argues that there is no real puzzle here. Consciousness seems mysterious, not because of any hidden essence, but only because we think about it in a special way. He exposes the confusion, and dispels the mystery.
