From your perspective, what is the most important question going forward for the scientific study of consciousness? Why?

What are some questions about consciousness?
Conscious information can have a dominant influence on responses. We tell others about our experiences, write about our experiences, and think about our experiences, so consciousness must contribute to the generation of these behaviors (for example, Blackmore, 2004; Gomes, 2005).
Why is consciousness important in philosophy?
Consciousness is primarily about this experiential aspect of our mental lives. Most discussions of philosophy of mind rely on the idea of conscious experience on some level. Descartes reported his conscious experiences in his Meditations on First Philosophy.
