What is awareness and how can a brain, only collection of neurons, create it? In Awareness and the Friendly Brain, Princeton neuroscientist Michael Graziano lays out an audacious new theory to account for the deepest enigma of these all. The mind has changed a complex circuitry that allows it to be socially smart. This social machinery has only started to be examined at length. One function of the circuitry is to feature consciousness to others: to compute that person Y is aware of thing X. In Graziano's theory, the machinery that attributes consciousness to others also attributes it to oneself. Harm that machinery and also you disrupt your own consciousness. Graziano talks about the science, the evidence, the idea, and the unusual implications of the new theory.
