What is consciousness?

"In terms of brain function, the difference between being conscious and unconscious is a bit like the difference between driving from Los Angeles to New York in a straight line versus having to cover the same route hopping on and off several buses that force you to take a 'zig-zag' route and stop in several places." — Martin Monti

Motivational quote

One of the difficulties in understanding the brain is that it is like nothing so much as a lump of porridge.

Richard L. Gregory
