Science keeps advancing steadily on understanding consciousness, but you won't find any of it on Youtube or from these popular science or philosophy writers and speakers.

You find it on Researchgate and such, start from a paper and chase down the citations.

> Science keeps advancing steadily on understanding consciousness

The perfect place to prove that is by putting a few citations in your comment. Better to show than tell.

If you are looking for information about current research into consciousness, there is a book, The Hidden Spring by Mark Solms.

He gave a talk organised by The Royal Institution that talked about case studies that explore where consciousness comes from.

I hope this is helpful.

I don't have a paper that has it all, I recommend reading as many as you can and find interesting just to get a picture.

You may start here, follow the citations and their references.

Problem is, a lot of papers won't be very good. Do you have some recommendation?
