      We still don’t really know! What we do know is that it’s when several regions of our brain connects together, rather than just one part, processing everything around us and focussing on what’s important so that we’re not overwhelmed – this is important for our survival. We’re still trying to figure out what consciousness is – our brain is our most complex organ and we may never fully understand it!
