Hi Jo, 

Just writing again as I do not think it was clear when I wrote:

With regards to the robot, I am assuming that you are stating that you have no idea what type of activity would be associated with a conscious experience similar to ours rather than suggesting that I should have asked "Could you let me know what you think any part of the robot will experience in room 3 and whether you are suggesting it would matter if it used analogue logic gates to achieve the behaviour?"

that I was not suggesting that you had no idea what type of activity would be associated with a conscious experience in a human (you have already mentioned what you thought was associated with it), I just mean whether in a robot analogue logic gates would be suitable for example. Or whether if an alien had a cells of a dramatically different structure for example, any part of it could have a conscious experience similar to yours. I think the robot highlights (at least part of) what Chalmers was referring to as "the hard problem". 

Yours sincerely, 

Glenn
