Detailed explanation-1: -Consciousness is a psychological construct because it is believed to exist, but we are unable to physically measure it, so descriptions are ‘constructed’ to explain it.
Detailed explanation-2: -In psychology, consciousness refers to your awareness of both internal stimuli, such as hunger, tiredness, and feelings, and external stimuli, such as temperature and sounds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Consciousness tends to be viewed either as subjective experience of sensations and feelings, or as perception and internal representation of objects.
Detailed explanation-4: -The fact that we cannot find the actual conscious experience while measuring brain activity is because we’re measuring from the wrong cognitive frame of reference. According to the new theory, the brain doesn’t create our conscious experience, at least not through computations.
Detailed explanation-5: -We often are not consciously aware of when we switch from one brainwave pattern to another, but there are measurable changes in the brain that occur that can be shown using EEG measurements and fMRI brain imaging.
