In The Heart Of Consciousness Is Subjectivity,

The Autobiographical Self Is Built On The Basis Of Past Memories And Memories Of The Plans That We Have Made; It's The Lived Past And The Anticipated Future.

We Remove Ourselves From The Experience Itself To A Surrogate Of The Experience, Which Is Whatever Measure You Take From The Brain, Be It The Electroencephalogram Or Magnet Encephalography Or Say Functional Magnetic Resonance. So It's Pretty Tough To Make Those Comparisons.

...i Sense That Stepping Into The Light Is Also A Powerful Metaphor For Consciousness, For The Birth Of The Knowing Mind, For The Simple And Yet Momentous Coming Of The Sense Of Self Into The World Of The Mental.

The Self Is A Perpetually Recreated Neurobiological State.

Consciousness Begins When Brains Acquire The Power, The Simple Power I Must Add, Of Telling A Story.
