What is Consciousness?

“Men ought to know that from the brain, and from the brain only, arise our pleasures, joys, laughter and jests, as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs and tears. Through it, in particular, we think, see, hear, and distinguish the ugly from the beautiful, the bad from the good, the pleasant from the unpleasant…” -Hippocrates

Conscious Experiences

Consciousness & Visual Perception Motion-Induced Blindness

Consciousness & Visual Perception Cortical Blindness Blindsight

Consciousness & Visual Perception Global Neuronal Workspace Theory – Awareness requires the sharing of information among prefrontal, inferior parietal, and occipital regions of the cerebral cortex Information Integration Theory – The level of awareness depends entirely on the complexity of the structure of shared information
