Former consciousness neuroscientist here. Julian Jaynes is really only of historical interest. For starters, he's more about meta-consciousness than raw awareness per se. Most of his ideas are intriguing, but has the feeling of a Just-So Story. To quote Dawkins: "It is one of those books that is either complete rubbish or a work of consummate genius, nothing in between! Probably the former, but I'm hedging my bets."
