This is a theory. It is known as the “hard problem” - determining where consciousness is birthed. Not sure why people are suggesting we know it “resides” in the brain. The brain is instrumental, but so is the heart and the rest of the body. And then there is the theory our bodies and minds only work as receivers for an externally emitted consciousness.
Would love to see some studies proving the idea that consciousness stems from the brain.
