Consciousness As Per Science

Consciousness is a growing area of interest for Science today. Because it is relatively new to Scientist, they are still developing a perfect definition of the term. However, we already have loads of ancient texts all woven around this very thing.

Today I came across a TED talk with the title "Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality". Have a look at it here: https://www.ted.com/talks/anil_seth_how_your_brain_hallucinates_your_conscious_reality

I was glad to learn that finally scientific minds are coming close to accept the Advaita Vedānta Philosophy which asserts that the world we see is just our projection.

However the speaker still thinks that consciousness is a construct of our brains while as per Vedānta it is something that enables you brain to construct understanding. The speaker acknowledges that the intellect is different from the consciousness but fails to keep the distinction all through the talk given he rules out distorted understanding as a possibility against pure intellect.

Sharing the talk with the single purpose to inspire you to think about yourself, about your real Self.
