consciência
Consciência is a term used in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to refer to the state or quality of awareness, or of being aware of an external object or something within oneself. It encompasses subjective experience, sentience, and the ability to perceive, feel, and think. The nature of consciousness is a complex and long-standing problem, with no single universally accepted definition or explanation.
Philosophical discussions often explore the mind-body problem, questioning how physical processes in the brain give rise
In psychology, consciousness is often studied in terms of altered states, such as sleep, dreaming, hypnosis,
Neuroscience approaches consciousness by seeking its neural correlates – the specific brain activity associated with conscious experience.
