A proper science of consciousness combines all the available evidence – either coming from introspection, behavior, neuroscience or theory – in such a way that a ‘best of all worlds’ perspective is attained. Introspection shows us that qualia are all about perceptual organization. Neuroscience can then tell us where and when perceptual organization occurs, and whether this is independent of attention, access or report. Access, no matter in what guise it comes, remains ill-suited to explain where, when and how qualia emerge.
