The fact that there are correlations between neurons firing and 
consciousness is a profound observation.  However, it doesn't really address 
the ideas presented, unless I am missing something.  Furthermore, the 
assumption that the configuration of matter known as the brain is the cause 
of consciousness may be fundamentally flawed if the ideas presented in this 
link are correct.  You may be completely right about your assertion that 
"the global problem isn't solved yet".  However, that assertion by itself is 
not very convincing, at least to me.
