Abstract:
Current cognitive science, which includes such variety of disciplines as neurobiology, philosophy of mind, cognitive linguistics, computer science etc., tells us that there is no consensus considering the exact connection between brain and consciousness. Everyone agree on the very fact of the existence of this connection. In spite of revolutionary discoveries in neuroscience of the last several decades (e.g. neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, mirror neurons, new understanding of the role of glia etc.), it is obvious that all of them have particular character – the puzzle remains even about the general mechanism of the brain work not to mention the relation of this work to conscious experience.
