Do you honestly think that science gets done "only in theory"? Do you honestly have even the faintest idea of how scientists work? Do you know how experiments are designed? Do you know what a painstaking effort it is to validate the data that you get from observations? Do you know how hard it is for a study to pass peer review and get published by reputable sources?
A scientist's job is not to spew theories disconnected from reality. Scientists observe systems and with the data they get they make a model of how the system works. The model then gets tested again and again to corroborate and correct it. It's not theory, it's practice. WAY more practice than you think.
You obviously have grown up with the myth of the arrogant, know-it-all, aloof scientist, and it really does show in the way you approach scientific subjects.
Wrong again Luc.
Nothing to do with arrogant and all to do with practice.
Practice lead to the realization whether the theory is correct or not.
What you think is practice is not.
Consciousness is an abstract entity remember that Luc.
Scientists do not understand yet that to understand the abstract you got to use an abstract tool not a physical one and this is the very point that scientists still have to understand that is why they are not getting anywhere.
It becomes apparent that you haven't got a clue how science in general works, let alone neuroscience.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
