I don't even know what that might mean, when applied to non-physical 
things, like experiences. How can a non-physical thing have a physical 
anything?

One of the interesting things about neuron spikes is that they are all 
the same. No quantitative or qualitative difference between one spike 
that's part of a train of spikes contributing to someone's experience of 
a C minor chord, and another one that's involved in regulating heart rate.

Seeing as it's neuron spikes that build up into all our experiences, I'd 
say that 'physical quality' of anything mental, is a meaningless phrase.
