Figuring out how the brain integrates information, regulates sleep, or reacts to stimuli. (Technically difficult, but scientifically solvable). 🌈 States of Consciousness Consciousness is the state

It doesn't just record reality; it builds a mental model and only updates it when things go wrong.
It uses a mathematical value called "Phi" to measure how integrated a system is.
