Somewhere in the cerebral cortex training for physical and cognitive activities is recorded, for me consciousness is mindfulness, an example is military physical training, by doing it repeatedly for many years, it is already a habit in which it is not Awareness is necessary, but if it is about achieving greater results, you have to have full attention, motivational phrases to tolerate physical pain and fatigue.
Each person has their own vision of the world and of reality, feeling happy for example is a personal decision, there are those who say that happiness is a state of mind, however, what we perceive through the senses may be an illusion, what matters is trying to be well, seek the well-being and contribute to that of other people, for me in this world the truth has an expiration date, until scientific advances show us the results of things that we did not know or that we had some false belief that science has banished. That is why the important thing is to do everything possible to be well and help other people to be well.
Yes, subjectivity is a serious problem in evaluating the experience of consciousness.
It is difficult to obtain objective results to carry out studies of consciousness because, to a large extent, it depends on the individual worldview and if we take into account that each person experiences different experiences in which they focus their attention, the stimuli and the construction of feelings is not a process that we can standardize neither from neuroscience nor with epigenetics.
If we take into consideration the implications of the subjective concept about the elements that make up consciousness, we will have diverse results where a common factor can be found that is decisive in defining the parameters of the experience of consciousness. Of course, research must continue to advance, but individual subjectivity is already a challenge with a high degree of difficulty for scientific analysis. There is a project in a Scientific Research Institute in Russia, which seeks to transmit human consciousness to a machine, this experiment is interesting, and we do not know if Russian scientists will succeed, what we do know is that if they manage to transfer human consciousness to a machine, not for this we will consider the system as a human, to confer human rights to a living being, it is logical that it has to belong to the human species.
No, human beings can build and program software systems, we can even create an amazing integration between hardware and software that a human can emulate, but creating an organism with a conscience is not possible, we can also grant rights, create responsible terms and conditions on the use of new technologies, but it is not possible to give human rights to something that is not human.
