Often, you come across problems which seem to require application of well established techniques. I think it would be helpful to maintain a list of these problems as they are perfect candidates for undergrad research and independent studies. It helps the students get a grasp of existing techniques and if a part of the problem cannot be solved by existing techniques, may lead to a paper. :)

Time Perception
I think "time-perception" and consciousness are mutually related phenomenon.
From scientific perspective, if consciousness is an emergent property of
physical processes, is there a theoretical limit on minimum
time-resolution of perception?
System level Conscience
Consider the possibility that consciousness is an emergent property of certain neural activity, and at a much basic level, of certain electro-chemical pattern. Under this hypothesis, we can postulate that interactions amongst individual conscious entities may give rise to a society level consciousness. It is, in principle, not required for the individual entities to be "aware" of this social consciousness or vice-versa. When I think back about this, I think there are many people in the past who had very similar thoughts, but hopefully, as science progresses, we will have a much better grasp at this phenomenon.
