Is there any proof of consciousness being neurons firing at each other or whatever?
Any scientific studies that prove this?

Not a troll thread, I just want some actual proof.

Don't know why you're getting all the hostility, question seems legit.

In the strictest sense, no physical theory can be proven. In a less strict sense, how would you consider measuring consciousness?

Because this board is full of hostile sperglords that can't accept uncomfortable questions.

Fuckers know how to program computers and jerk off to futanari.

There is no evidence for consciousness being neurons firing at each other.

Simple, you alter the way neurons communicate to each other, you alter consciousness. E.g. natural lesion studies of people with prefrontal cortex damage.

Faggot. You wouldn't know science if it hit you in the face. Try googling the author and the journal it was published in.

It's a theory with as much evidence for it as the theory of the soul.

>> No.5442014

No, there isn't. Magical souls are not subject of science.

Consciousness is obviously real, it's what lets us make observations in the first place
