Assuming our brain is merely a network of neurons exchanging signals, it is remarkable that this network can create a rich world filled with experiences like Mozart's symphonies, sunsets, and emotions. Scientifically, one might wonder why this world emerges only during wakefulness and not in sleep, despite neuronal activity in both states. This raises questions about the physical phenomena that generate awareness and how it is represented in the physical realm. In recent years, the phenomenon of awareness has garnered increasing scientific interest, particularly due to advancements in neuroscience that enhance our understanding of neural processes. Researchers explore how visual objects are represented by activated neurons in the visual system and what differentiates neural activity during wakefulness and sleep. Another approach to understanding awareness is through physics. Classical physics fails to adequately explain certain aspects of awareness, such as the ability to perceive multiple features of an object simultaneously. Consequently, some physicists argue that a quantum mechanical framework may be necessary to fully comprehend the phenomenon of awareness.
