It is one matter to investigate the molecular and neural correlates of experience. It is another matter to claim that the experiences themselves are nothing real in themselves and that reality is confined to the robust, object-like ideas of science. The scientific literature—and popular science writing as well—is full of examples showing that scientists and editors conflate psychological phenomena (such as reason) and physical phenomena (such as neurons), as the title of an article in Nature illustrates: “Probabilistic reasoning by neurons” (Yang & Shadlen, 2007). The tragic thing is that many people don't even realize the absurdity of such statements.
