Abstract

What do you see around you right now? What do you hear or smell? How are you feeling—happy, sad, bored? And what thoughts are in your head? All the sensations, feelings, and thoughts you have every day are part of what is called your conscious experience—something that all humans have. But do they have a purpose? Would you act the same without them? These are the questions we will address in this article. We will first introduce the concept of conscious experience and then review the methods that scientists use to study it, which is not an easy task! Finally, we will explain why it is important to study consciousness at all.
