Your quote directly contradicts you. And way to cut out the context of the quote > Ancient Greek philosophers disputed whether the seat of consciousness was in the lungs, in the heart, or in the brain. The brain's pre-eminence is now undisputed Yeah, everyone agrees consciousness is in the brain. Not exactly news. What's worse is if you just keep reading you'll see that the answer they come to is pretty much a cop-out. What exactly interacts with the thalmocortical system? Well, the cortex for starters: > the cerebral cortex is subdivided into systems dealing with different functions, such as vision, audition, motor control, planning, and many others. In other words, basically half of the functions of the brain. This is barely a few steps past where the Greeks got 2000 years ago. The closest we have is it's probably this highly connected system in the brain. But not much more than that. And a quick Google search shows this is not exactly a small piece of brain. The researchers are basically doing guess work. Now I happen to think it sounds like a reasonable hypothesis. But it's a far cry from understanding where the consciousness actually it's located. It's barely more specific than "your noggin". Now, I don't claim to be a neuroscientist... But I have full faith that there is nothing magical happening in there that we can't model with a neural graph.
