How does our brain create consciousness?
It's a great mystery!
New research published in New Journal of Physics tries to find the "conscious network" in our cortex.
They decomposed the structural layers of our cortical network to different hierarchies enabling to identify the network’s nucleus. This nucleus is the most connected area in the network, from which our consciousness could emerge.
