The honest boundary
We can measure the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) — objective, third-person. BUT why physical activity produces subjective experience ("the feeling") has NO solution — the "hard problem" (Chalmers 1995). Every theory below is a HYPOTHESIS under study.

Neural activity / synchrony over time (EEG-like) awake = strong, regular · anesthetized = weak, fragmented
About Consciousness

Consciousness is one of 20 topics in the Frontiers of Knowledge domain (? chưa giải scale) at My Labs — an interactive simulation atlas. This virtual lab runs right in your browser: adjust the parameters, pick a scenario and watch the phenomenon change in real time, with a click-to-inspect cross-section for every structure.
