Systems that can perform same visual functions that people perform can have no qualia {absent qualia}. Perhaps, machines can duplicate neuron and synapse functions, as in the China-body system [Block, 1980], and so do anything that human visual system can do. Presumably, system physical states and mechanisms, no matter how complex, do not have or need qualia. System has inputs, processes, and outputs. Perhaps, such systems can have qualia, but complexity, large scale, or inability to measure prevents people from knowing.
