Yeah, I mean, that's even true on a more tangible level, which is that in my documentary, I talk about locked-in syndrome, which is a very terrifying circumstance. But that's a circumstance where someone has had brain damage, either due to a stroke or injury, Where they've become completely paralyzed, yet their conscious experience is completely intact.

So they can hear, they can see, they can think. but they literally have no form of any kind of movement, let alone communication. And so that's a circumstance where there is no, you can't get any clues about the conscious experience that's happening on the inside from the outside. And it's these types of conditions in neuroscience that started

It started me down this path of wondering, is it possible there are other systems that are just so unfamiliar to us where even very minimal conscious experiences are actually arising in those systems? We would have no way of knowing in the same way we have no way of knowing in a person who's in a locked in state.

I would say most of them. And it's kind of what led me down this path because I spent so much time working with neuroscientists and learning about the most recent research. And there are so many intuition shattering facts that come out of our current understanding of the brain. I talk a lot about priming processes.

This is something that David Eagleman, the neuroscientist, writes a lot about and writes beautifully about. Actually, I recommend all of his books. And I speak to him in my documentary series. So, sorry, I said priming, which is also another example, but I meant binding.

Priming actually is less well understood than binding, but binding processes. are the processes that the brain uses. And there are many different types of bringing in different types of perceptions, different types of information from the outside, and then consolidating them into a present moment experience.

So I'll give the example sometimes of playing the piano or playing tennis, where you can be aware of the fact that, use the example of piano, you're In your conscious experience, you feel that you push the key down in the same moment that you hear the note, in the same moment that you see the key go down.
