He argues that phenomenal consciousness is the sole ontological primitive, and that all physical structures — including the brain — exist solely as appearances (phenomenality) within consciousness. Neural correlates of consciousness are therefore correlates of dissociative processes within consciousness, not evidence that the brain produces consciousness.",
