Hard Problem of Consciousness

The Hard Problem of Consciousness refers to understanding why and how subjective experience—our personal sensations, feelings, and thoughts—arises from physical brain processes. While science can explain how the brain works and responds, it struggles to explain why these processes are accompanied by an inner experience. In essence, it’s asking: What makes us feel like something is "like" to be us? This challenge highlights the gap between studying brain activity and fully understanding the nature of conscious awareness itself.
