It is not just that the neural correlates of consciousness may never be found—because they do not exist, but seeking them would continue to setback consciousness science research.
If there were neural correlates of consciousness, would it not mean that consciousness is in one location? If there are general and specific correlates in some areas only, then what is the guarantee that what makes them cannot be elsewhere?
Activity around a neural cluster, or activity by some neurons during a function, does not indicate that neurons are by themselves doing what it takes to structure that function.
Can neurons actually set up any function? If a neuron is active, what is active about that neuron that configures how any function is specified?
