I would like references to books or articles that argue the following position: "The enigma of consciousness is profound but the basis for it is very mundane. Consciousness reduces to sensation; sensation reduces to measurement of nervous events; nervous events are physical events. Since physical events can obviously occur in `inanimate matter', so can consciousness." References to very recent articles are my main objective here, but old works (ie pre-computer age) would be helpful also. sj -------
