TED-Ed: What is consciousness? - Michael S. A. Graziano

The video explores the concept of consciousness through the case of PS, a patient with hemispatial neglect. It discusses how the brain processes information and forms models of perception and self-awareness. Theories suggest consciousness is an imperfect self-model of the brain's activity. Research using MRI studies shows specific brain networks are involved in conscious perception. Despite progress, much about consciousness remains unknown.
