Yeah but that's like saying what propels a car forward is a green stoplight, it's just a correlation you can observe that could have nothing to do with it - might not even be indirectly causal.
When you think deeply about the Hard Problem, it's really The Impossible Problem because there's no way to solve it within our subject:object and "self" paradigms. Yet the problem persists.
Take something like the memory of the first time I tied my shoes - maybe you can find the exact neuronal correlations to that experience I have when I think of that, but they won't be that memory, nor do they even give up the ingredients to engineer that in some alternate setting. The memory itself seems like a completely different phenomenon that the neurons (themselves, concepts in consciousness) can never explain on their own.
