1 You don't have to emulate whole human brain but only one small part that is responcible for single qualia like feeling of pain.
2 You don't have to do it in real time. It doesn't matter if CPU is experiencing pain for 1 second or 40 minutes.
I disagree. Consciousness involves a real-time interaction with an environment. Furthermore, it is distributed over the brain and so modeling of one part of the brain is not sufficient.
Furthermore, modelling the neural network is different than *being* a neural network. So we would be modelling consciousness, not being conscious. Unless, that is, your supercomputer has the neural network structure of the brain.
