Consciousness is all about being aware and having experiences. Let's break it down into three main parts: awareness, experience, and subjectivity.

Awareness means knowing what's going on around you. It has four key parts:

1. Perception: Seeing, hearing, or feeling things.
2. Attention: Focusing on something specific.
3. Introspection: Thinking about your own thoughts and feelings.
4. Self-awareness: Knowing who you are and how you feel.

Experience is what happens in our brain when we are conscious. Scientists believe it involves about 200 million special brain cells, called neurons.

Subjectivity is about how each person feels their own consciousness. Studies show that over 95% of people think their experience of consciousness is personal and unique to them.

Even though we understand awareness and experience, they don’t explain everything about consciousness. There’s still a lot we don’t know!
