What is The Neural Basis of Consciousness about?
## Abstract Consciousness has evolved and is a feature of all animals with sufficiently complex nervous systems. It is, therefore, primarily a problem for biology, rather than physics. In this review, I will consider three aspects of consciousness: __level of consciousness__, whether we are awake or in a coma; the __contents of consciousness__, what determines how a small amount of sensory information is associated with subjective experience, while the rest is not; and __meta-consciousness__, the ability to reflect upon our subjective experiences and, importantly, to share them with others. I will discuss and compare current theories of the neural and cognitive mechanisms involved in producing these three aspects of consciousness and conclude that the research in this area is flourishing and has already succeeded to delineate these mechanisms in surprising detail.
