The proposed paper intends to analyze the significance of various features of the problem of qualia in the area of consciousness studies. Mental states are totally dependent on the corresponding neurophysiological states in the sense that a difference in mental states would necessarily involve a corresponding difference in neurophysiological states. Qualia were the single most recalcitrant notion that resisted the rising wave of materialists in their program of giving an account of the mental means of identity theory. The problem of qualia was the main constraint of functionalism. An effort to analyze various prevalent arguments in support of the notion is the goal of the research paper. For that some thought experiments such as the knowledge Argument, Zombie argument, Bat argument etc. are mentioned. These arguments involve thought experiments about gradual neural replacement, and take the form a reduction. The first thought-experiment demonstrates that if absent qualia are possible, then a phenomenon called fading qualia is possible. All these arguments point to one thing that is qualia are what goes on in our brain. Qualia states are brain-states rather than phenomenal states. They are neural states. The intensity of the quality of experience of a person is entirely different from that of another individual. We cannot measure it. Rather, once cannot experience another person’s feelings or sensations.
