I wouldn't say easily remedied. A camera and audio feed easily provide the data but do they provide it in a format that can be understood? I'd be amazed if the brain encoded video as computers do. The problem isn't the recording equipment (which has existed since the late 1800's), the problem is the lack of a common interface.
It's easy these days when everything is digital and there are common pathways to distribute data but, with the brain, no communication channel exists, nor does a detailed definition of the structure of the data.
Phase 3 and 4 were shocking to me because of the word "consciousness". Define that. If you can, you only think you can.

It's not really related to the previous conversation, but this belongs here nonetheless.

It's at least interesting, if a little bit on the crazy side.
