Ignorant Scientists Fail To Locate Source Of Consciousness In The Brain.

If only they could acknowledge that consciousness is non-local and non-physical, they wouldn't have to waste so much time and effort to locate it inside the brain. They won't ever find it there.

Brain Damaged 'Patient R' Challenges Theories of Self Awareness

The results of the assessment are clear, he and colleagues contend: Neither the insula cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex nor the medial prefrontal cortex play crucial roles in self-awareness.

"The brain more than likely doesn't have a single region that is devoted to self awareness, but rather, the complex phenomenon likely emerges from much more distributed interactions between multiple brain regions," Feinstein said. (This is really a subterfuge - they can't locate it as they had expected it, and now they say it is actually all over the brain. They just won't admit it. LOL!)

Consciousness - The Untamed Frontier Of Brain Science.

Until we can figure out what consciousness physically is, there won't be any consensus on what function it serves, or indeed whether it serves any function at all. My guess is, the jury will be out for a long time on this one. (It won't ever be out if you keep looking for consciousness in the physical brain.)

These ignorant scientists would do better if they had learned from biologist Rupert Sheldrake.

The Ten Dogmas of Science:

1. That nature is mechanical.
2. That matter is unconscious.
3. The laws of nature are fixed.
4. The totally amount of matter and energy are always the same.
5. That nature is purposeless.
6. Biological inheritance is material.
7. That memories are stored as material traces.
8. The mind is in the brain.
9. Telepathy and other psychic phenomena are illusory.
10. Mechanistic medicine is the only kind that really works.

The 'science delusion' is the uncritical belief in these dogmas, treating them not as beliefs but as truths... Science is much more fun, much more interesting, much more free, when we turn these dogmas into questions.
