This is Quantum Doug, Yes it was an oversight to not include qualia in the index. I have studied Penrose and Hameroff's work (see references) and attended and presented at the first several "Consciousness Conferences". I tend to focus on "meaning" (chapter 4) and "lucidity", (chapter 11) since that has a more information theoretic perspective and I can say something new about that rather than "qualia" and "consciousness".One of the fundamental questions, I think, is whether they understand qualia. The term doesn't appear in the index of their book, which gives me an uncomfortable feeling.
