A wager placed in 1998 and won by David Chalmers who asserted that no
credible neurophysiological theory to explain consciousness would arise in
25 years. The opponent sportingly conceded.

An advaitin may assert that such a theory in the field of Consciousness
Studies is impossible as a matter of principle because "Consciousness ...
Studies" i.e., it is *That* which studies....not that which can be
'studied'...
