Yes, I agree. I’m only claiming that materialists should classify the remaining hard work as neurobiology, not philosophy.
This is not clear at all—even though I do otherwise agree with your physicalist premises—because the most detailed evidence about subjective experience has been collected by philosophers, namely phenomenologists. The “hard” work probably encompasses any of biology, physics and philosophy.
