A Conscious Universe

[Angrboda]

Right, that's what I'm getting at. It seems to me each brain area has a separate task. So does each area have an "output" that is sent to a coordinating unit? And if not, why would redness in part A, apple-taste in part B, and "crunch sound" in part C be experienced as a single experience, rather than having 3 homunculi, each doing its own specialized task? What is the principle, or mechanism, of unity?

I suspect short term memory has something to do with it, along with some self-delusion (what tells us that it's a singular experience and is it lying?). I don't really know though. It's a mystery.
