==== Consciousness ==== {{Main|Hard problem of consciousness|Theory of mind}} [[David Chalmers]] identified two problems in understanding the mind, which he named the "hard" and "easy" problems of consciousness.{{Sfnp|Chalmers|1995}} The easy problem is understanding how the brain processes signals, makes plans and controls behavior. The hard problem is explaining how this ''feels'' or why it should feel like anything at all, assuming we are right in thinking that it truly does feel like something (Dennett's consciousness illusionism says this is an illusion). While human [[Information processing (psychology)|information processing]] is easy to explain, human [[subjective experience]] is difficult to explain. For example, it is easy to imagine a color-blind person who has learned to identify which objects in their field of view are red, but it is not clear what would be required for the person to ''know what red looks like''.{{Sfnp|Dennett|1991}}
