Neurosurgeon Provides Evidence Against Materialism

[The Grand Nudger]

I think that people like Dennet might ask you whether or not you expected for brain activity to feel the same as it operated.  In AST, an attempt at a mechanistic explanation of consciousness, it's pointed out that not all of the information about what your brain is doing would be useful to your awareness.  Perhaps you don't need to know about neural connections firing in your head individually, so that information isn't included in the model based control system.  

IOW, your brain is always doing something you aren't feeling, alot of things.  Things that don't rise to the level of your awareness.  
Heres a link if you ever want to grind a few minutes down reading crazy shit.

The whole read is worth it just for this bit-

Based on the information contained in this simplified model, brain B would conclude that it possesses a phenomenon with all of the most salient aspects of attention – the ability to take mental possession of an object, focus one’s resources on it, and, ultimately, act on it – but without any of the mechanisms that make this process physically possible. It would conclude that it possesses a magical, non-physical essence, but one which can nevertheless act and exert causal control over behavior, a mysterious conclusion indeed.
