More blows to the view that the Mind is what the Brain does!

One of those now is the fact that dreamless sleep does not makes consciousness disappear. "When it comes to dreamlessness, conventional wisdom states that consciousness disappears when we fall into a deep, dreamless sleep". But researchers have come up with a new way to define the different ways that we experience dreamlessness, and say there’s no evidence to suggest that our consciousness 'switches off' when we stop dreaming. In fact, they say the state of dreamlessness is way more complicated than we’d even imagined.

It is not the so called elusive on and off switch of Consciousness. "Two studies published earlier this year suggest that the claustrum’s moment has passed. A study on five epileptic patients at Stanford University demonstrated that zapping the claustrum on both sides of the brain had no effect on their subjective experience.4 Corroborating this, a study on mice from investigators at the University of Maryland showed that deactivating the claustrum resulted in no apparent loss of consciousness.5 Based on these data, it seems that the claustrum may be yet another red herring in the hunt for the seat of consciousness".
