Neuroscience Struggles to Locate Consciousness in the Brain Despite Decades of Research
By
Ray
Summary
The article challenges the long-held neuroscientific assumption that consciousness can be physically located within the brain. Despite decades of research mapping neural correlates of consciousness, science has been unable to pinpoint where subjective experience actually resides. The piece argues that lived awareness is not found in any specific brain region, network, or circuit, and that neuroscience is quietly beginning to acknowledge the limits of its materialist framework in explaining consciousness.
