edelman/totoni on qualia

"A key implication of our hypothesis is that the legitimate neural reference space for conscious experience, any conscious experience, including that of color, if given not by the activity of any individual neuronal group...but by the activity of the entire dynamic core" (p. 164-5).

In other words, the sensation of red occurs not in a few neurons firing "red" but in the entire dynamic core (the re-entrant clusters firing in isolation and quasi-simultaneously). The sensation of red is inextricable from the conscious state that contains it.
