What I take from this is that there are observed neural correlates to reported subjective experiences. We cannot know with certainly that other persons are not philosophical zombies, but with good reason I assume they are not, the reasons being that I know I experience myself to have subjective experiences, other humans are similar to me and behave in similar ways indicating that they have similar experiences. Also there is a significant body of literature in which humans ponder the issues involved with mind and consciousness which indicates I am not the only person to experience mind. However scientifically we are correlating neural events with reported subjective experiences.
As to what exactly is required to produce mind I do not know except that in us it involves a brain. I have no reason to assume mind is independent of the brain: change the brain, change the mind.
Benny, how is your view different if at all?
