the amazing return of our conscious mind.

We recovered minds with a complete sense of self

and a complete sense of our own existence,

yet we hardly ever pause to consider this wonder.

because without having this possibility of conscious minds,

we would have no knowledge whatsoever about the world.

We would have no pains, but also no joys.

And of course, Scott Fitzgerald said famously

he would have no access to true happiness

and even the possibility of transcendence.

So much for the wonder, now for the mystery.

that has really been extremely hard to elucidate.

and certainly throughout the history of neuroscience,

we should just leave it alone, it's not to be solved.

and we can begin to see the shape of a solution.

is the fact that we have imaging technologies

that now allow us to go inside the human brain

These are images that come from Hanna Damasio's lab,

and this is something that one can be really amazed about --

which is going underneath the surface of the brain

And I'm sorry to disappoint you, they don't come in color.

when we fall into deep sleep without dreams,

But what is exactly that stuff that we lose under anesthesia,

as you are having now in relation to my words.

that we are all experiencing in this room.
