about Consciousness -Documentary 2017

Consciousness is simultaneously a very familiar and a very mysterious part of human existence. Humans have always known that they were conscious, but it is not until now that technology, in the form of scanners, has enabled scientists and doctors to see consciousness in action. New science is revealing that consciousness has a biological basis. Neuroscientists are now quickly unraveling the physical and neural mechanics of human consciousness. The possibility of finally being able to understand human consciousness is indeed fascinating, however, one wonders whether humans have the capacity to truly understand consciousness or whether the research will answer some questions only to discover that there are other unanswered questions on the subject. However, for the present, neuroscientists are currently addressing eight questions. 1 Which brain areas are critical for consciousness? There are around 90 billion neurons in the brain and there approximately a thousand times more connections between the brain’s neurons.However, consciousness is more than just numerous neurons. For example, the cerebellum contains over half the brain’s neurons and yet it does not seem to have much involvement in consciousness.
