Abstract
O'Brien & Opie make unnecessary distinctions between vehicle and process th eories and neglect empirically based distinctions between conscious and unc onscious processing. We argue that phenomenal experience emerges, not just as a byproduct of input-driven parallel distribution processing, but as a r esult of constructive processing in recurrent neural networks. Stable netwo rk states may be necessary, but are not sufficient, for consciousness.
