Gerald Edelman's Theory Of Consciousness

Think about what have you done! This is a quote said to you when you did something wrong and your parents want to think about what have you done wrong. Well, then you start to think about what you have done wrong. This may be an easy process for a lot of people, but they never seem to notice what is the thing that makes them aware of other and themselves . Consciousness is a state in which humans are aware of the people around them and themselves. What is consciousness ? Where does it comes from? How does it work? These are all questions that are hard to answer and may not even have an answer for it. But there are possible explanations for some of these question. Consciousness is something hard to explain , yet there many concepts of it. Of

It also can never be solve. Consciousness comes from the brain, and consciousness allows humans to distinguish the observer from what is observed, but consciousness cannot be pin pointed, so it has to be explained through energy, and yet consciousness cannot be completing solve because human are part of it . Consciousness derive from the brain. Gerald Edelman who was an American biologist who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work with Rodney Robert Porter, said that "my fundamental assumption has been that the process of consciousness arises from the workings of the brain."(Edelman). He said that consciousness come from the brain because it is where all of the senses feed the information to. Edelman claims that everything goes through the brain every oz of information that the senses pick up have to go to the brain. There is nothing that does not go by the brain therefore consciousness is no different. Edelman also believes that consciousness comes from the brain , because the consciousness needs information to be form. Consciousness is made up by the information that brain gets and by this standards the consciousness must come from the brain. By subjecting that the consciousness comes the brain

David John Chalmers is an Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist specializing in the area of philosophy of mind and philosophy of language and he stated that " Clearly it might explain the binding of information contents, and perhaps it might yield a more general account of the integration of information in the brain"(Chalmers). Chalmers claims that consciousness is one step above from human's 5 physical senses. He believes that the consciousness have two problems that fall into easy problems and hard problems. The easy problems of consciousness include the explanations of the ability to discriminate, categorize, and react to environmental stimuli. The hard problems are those that have to do with human experience. Chalmers may have believed that consciousness is higher concept than the 5 physical senses , but he still said that consciousness needs information to be form. Consciousness needs information to be form and the best place to find information about one is inside the brain. What one hears, see, and feels all come for the brain telling the body how to react to certain things. The brain provide the human's conscious with information so that it can do it own job. In other
