abstract = "Computational neuroscience attributes coloured areas and other perceptual qualia to calculations that are (as recently argued) realizable in multiple cellular forms. This faces serious issues in explaining how the various qualia arise and how they bind to form overall perceptions. Qualia
may instead be neuroelectrical. Growing evidence indicates that (1) perceptions correlate with neuroelectrical activity spotted by locally activated EEGs, (2) the different qualia correlate with the different electrochemistries of unique detector cells, (3) a unified neural-electromagnetic
field binds this activity to form overall perceptions, and (4) this field interacts with sensory circuits to help attentively guide perception. The coloured areas in images may thus be seated in the electrochemistry of unique cells, while constancy mechanisms and other multiply realizable
computations just help refine these images behind the scenes. This theory is ultimately testable.",
