i am not a scientist but i realy think consciousness quite overated lol when you realy think about it for days you realize that consioness is the memories of every input of our organism,  images recorded by the eyes or the sound or any other sensor input  , every emotion conected to every moments, the brain  navigate in all those data and conect the dots ... giant web of  every input associated to a slice of time... from the day you were born to right now , when we remember about past inputs , while still experiencing the present input creates structur and all the synap firing all around that structure a 3d structur of memories in the brain... this is what i call consiousness,( basicly we are not realy consious but that we think that we are, its the perfect simulation of it, so it is but its not ) xd... i like to think that our  brain is just like a machine, we dont have  control of anything realy we obviously just do what we are coded to do, guys you need to realy think about it,(reply>), if you think that makes no sence , you need to think about this theory for couple of days
