David Chalmers is a philosopher who famously formulated the 'hard problem of consciousness' in relation to the study of neural correlates of consciousness [1], [2]. He has also been a central figure in the scientific discourse surrounding these correlates, most notably through his long-standing bet with Christof Koch regarding their discovery [3], [4], [5].

claimResearch into neural correlates of consciousness (NCCs) addresses which neurobiological mechanisms are linked to consciousness, but does not explain why those mechanisms give rise to consciousness, which is the hard problem of consciousness as formulated by David Chalmers.
claimDavid Chalmers argued that standard methodologies for identifying neural correlates of consciousness assume a relation between 'global availability' and consciousness, but do not explain why these processes give rise to consciousness, leaving the hard problem of consciousness unsolved.
claimDavid Chalmers stated in 'On the Search for the Neural Correlate of Consciousness' that he is confident neural correlates of consciousness will be discovered in a century or two, assuming that 'global availability' can be used as an indicator of consciousness.
