Patrick GrimSummary: What is consciousness? Some scientists describe it as a result of emergence, much as "wet" emerges from a particular combination of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Others propose that neuroscience will answer the question - or already has. But is it possible that the human mind will never be able to fully understand its own consciousness?
