Detail: Perhaps, consciousness is in anterior cingulate. Consciousness unifies body actions. Perhaps, ability to make new reflexes is consciousness purpose. He developed computer simulations (CyberChild) to find neural correlates of consciousness. It uses mammalian nervous system circuits grouped into binary composite units. It has two senses, hearing and touch. It controls vocalization, feeding, and bladder-control muscles. It has pain receptors for low stomach-milk level, low blood-sugar level, full bladder, and dirty diaper. Emergent behavior, such as ability to make new reflexes, indicates consciousness.
