This clip first discusses a 1996 conference sponsored by the Center for Consciousness Studies in Tucson, Arizona entitled "Toward a Science of Consciousness." The key figures that can be seen are Stuart Hameroff, Christof Koch, David Chalmers, Daniel Dennett, Patricia Churchland, and John Searle.
Daniel Dennett then briefly discusses his views on consciousness and the first-person illusion that we are aware of our complete visual field, when in actuality we are not. And finally, Frank Jackson's famous "Mary the Neuroscientist" thought-experiment is explained.

Colour Vision - if defined as "wavelength discrimination" would be a beneficial survival trait - for identifying food. I'd also argue that the brain has evolved to represent the different wavelengths as colours.
David Chalmers looked SO young...Dennett didn't...The good news is though that he hasn't changed in the 13 years since this was made. His ideas don't change either, so his comments didn't seem dated...It was interesting to see the Mary's room paradox covered yet AGAIN!
