If you don't have emotions, how can you fear death?
Juan Camilo Montoya Rendón
me doy cuenta de que no somos conscientes de muchas cosas. Pero creo que pueden haber partes del cerebro de las que no seamos totalmente inconscientes, pero que tal vez no sabemos interpretar debido a la limitación del lenguaje

There's an even greater issue for the binding problem: how can spacelike separated entities such as neurons get unified in a single experience? The neurons are not on top of each other but they are each in their own location in spacetime, they have their own frame of reference and they have their own causal lightcone. So how can you unify all that in a single experience if you insist that classical physics is enough? My hunch is that the brain waves are essential - they are the important factor when consciousness is the topic and not necessarily the computation that's being done by the brain. It might be that the brain waves are what we are and not mere artifacts of electrical current in the brain.

The locality of consciousness when linked to brain health.
Marcelo Matos Machado
Some theories suggest that consciousness arises due to emergent properties of interactions between brain cells, while others emphasize the importance of neural connectivity and brain networks. Furthermore, artificial intelligence is also playing an increasing role in understanding consciousness. Researchers are exploring how to replicate or simulate consciousness in machines, which raises philosophical and ethical questions about the meaning of consciousness and its role in creating intelligent agents.
