...is consciousness most intense when we need to make decisions and least intense when action is habitual? Why would consciousness vary in this fashion is it was just an epiphenomenon? Consciousness and the Reticular Activating System. Jaynes feels that is it is a waste of time to associate the RAS with consciousness because it is one of the oldest structures in the evolution of the nervous ...
