I'm not sure you and I have the same definition of "awareness" An organism can detect something, be aware of it, by sensing it. This involves some stimulation

An organism can detect something, be aware of it, by sensing it. This involves some stimulation and then neuronal transmission, the processing that happens determines if the stimulus reaches conscious awareness as not all stimuli does.
- netizen-936824 5y agoTo add to this, conscious awareness can be equated to all thought processes. Thought processes are an internal representation of signal processing some by the communication networks of the brain and other associated systems (mostly neurons/glia but other systems do have impact on processing in various ways)
- strogonoff 5y agoIt is abundantly clear that this is your position. What I was asking for is reasoning / research / evidence to support the idea that thought processes are representations of neuronal activity and not the reverse.

- strogonoff 5y agoYou are ignoring what I write. My point is that those neurons that move prosthetic arm may be consequences of conscious activity, its indicators if you will. I won’t read the rest of the links.
