Our conscious experience is at the tail end of a lot of brain processing, including binding processes that happen prior to our awareness. The brain calibrates our experiences through cause and effect awareness to deliver our perception of reality.

Sensory Substitution, Consciousness Research
Summary

The possibilities of sensory substitution in giving humans intuitive senses they've never had before that could dovetail with consciousness research are discussed. For example, animals' intuitive sense of magnetic north could be possible for humans in the future.

Consciousness
Summary

The study of the brain's processes and understanding the binding processes can help us better understand consciousness, which could possibly be a fundamental aspect. While it may be difficult to grasp, connecting different organisms' sensory mechanisms to the brain can help in the exploration of consciousness.

Neuroscience
Summary

The brain is able to calibrate experiences based on its awareness of cause and effect. By gradually introducing longer pauses between stimulus and response, the brain is able to adjust and adapt to the delay, but if the stimulus returns to being instantaneous, the brain can perceive it as happening before the response.
