The Moment of Consciousness
“The brain does a lot of work without our knowing it. Some of this subconscious activity pierces through to a level where we suddenly become conscious of it. Now scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how this transition from subconscious to conscious happens.”
“One of the main problems in studying this process is that pinpointing when something becomes conscious has been an entirely subjective judgment. Typically people being studied in neuroscientific research will simply tell the researcher when they became conscious of a particular thought, decision or perception.”
