Lucid dreaming, a unique state of consciousness, is confirmed by the largest brain study of its kind.

Researchers found that lucid dreamers exhibit heightened activity in brain regions related to self-awareness and control, bridging the gap between dreaming and wakefulness. This research advances consciousness research, mental health, and creativity.

Scientists explore where consciousness arises in the brain

Consciousness is at the center of human existence, the ability to see, hear, dream, imagine, feel pain or pleasure, dread, love and more. But where precisely does this reside in the brain? That is a question that has long confounded scientists and clinicians. A new study is offering fresh insight.

Whitehead reserves consciousness for a complex, derivative mode of experience. Most experience—even much of ours while driving, or while asleep—is non-conscious but still experiential. What goes all the way down is feeling, not consciousness.

"Where in the brain does consciousness originate? Theories abound, but neuroscientists still haven’t coalesced around one explanation..."

Two Theories Face off to Explain the Origins of Consciousness

"Two leading theories of consciousness went head-to-head—and the results may change how neuroscientists study one of the oldest questions about existence."
