Sobre la conciencia

Hoy lei una parte muy pequeña de un trabajo de Susan Blackmore.

For many years now I have been getting my students to ask themselves, as many times as possible every day “Am I conscious now?”. Typically they find the task unexpectedly hard to do; and hard to remember to do. But when they do it, it has some very odd effects. First they often report that they always seem to be conscious when they ask the question but become less and less sure about whether they were conscious a moment before. With more practice they say that asking the question itself makes them more conscious, and that they can extend this consciousness from a few seconds to perhaps a minute or two. What does this say about consciousness the rest of the time?
Just this starting exercise (we go on to various elaborations of it as the course progresses) begins to change many students’ assumptions about their own experience. In particular they become less sure that there are always contents in their stream of consciousness. How does it seem to you? It is worth deciding at the outset because this is what I am going to deny. I suggest that there is no stream of consciousness. And there is no definite answer to the question 'What am I conscious of now?'. Being conscious is just not like that.

Hice el experimento y ciertamente que sucede algo raro.
Soy consciente de mi conciencia en el instante en que me hago la pregunta, pero el resto del tiempo es como que funciono por inercia .....
Quizas habria que redefinir distintos tipos de conciencia?
O la conciencia es algo totalmente diferente de lo que creiamos hasta hoy?
