Understanding Consciousness through Individual Neuron Control
3:16:38 - 3:23:09 (06:30)
By having greater control over individual neurons and understanding their roles in creating a sense of self, researchers hope to understand consciousness by having a complicated "light switch" to control the semi-distributed signals of the brain. However, the question of what binds the activity of neurons together to form a joint representation remains unanswered.

In neuroscience, the combination of different neurons to form a joint representation is a complex phenomenon, and scientists are trying to figure out what exactly binds the activity of neurons to achieve this state of consciousness.

Summary
In neuroscience, the combination of different neurons to form a joint representation is a complex phenomenon, and scientists are trying to figure out what exactly binds the activity of neurons to achieve this state of consciousness. It is not organism-dependent and has nothing to do with a specific biological system.

The theory of everything in understanding consciousness could be achieved by having greater control over individual neurons to understand how and why signals start becoming relevant to each other as part of some bigger signal that they're producing, forming a big picture of human experience.

Summary
The theory of everything in understanding consciousness could be achieved by having greater control over individual neurons to understand how and why signals start becoming relevant to each other as part of some bigger signal that they're producing, forming a big picture of human experience. Keeping a toehold in both cellular level resolution and brain-wide resolution is necessary for this understanding.
