But as one of the most complex systems in Nature, there\u2019s still much to learn about how it works. That\u2019s why researchers from the Human Brain Project are attempting to unravel even more of its mysteries. However, most neuroscientists still believe that consciousness is generated in our brains, trying to justify their chosen profession as the only key to our experience of the world. It is not. We humans don\u2019t live in a vacuum, we are not \u201cbrains in a vat,\u201d so to speak. Just like your smartphone, your brain is a \u2018bio\u2019-logical computing device of your mind, an interface into physical reality. Our minds are connected to the broader mind-network, as computers in the Cloud. Consciousness is \u201cnon-local\u201d Cloud, our brain-mind systems are receivers, processors and transmitters of information within that Cloud. So, a truly multidisciplinary and computationalist approach is required to crack the neural code and reverse-engineer consciousness in AI and cybernetic systems. We shouldn\u2019t be surprised if all that hype about testing for the \u201cseat of consciousness\u201d could only end up refining our understanding of neural correlates \u2014 not how consciousness originates in the brain because it\u2019s not its origin there. The Internet or a cellular network is not generated by your smartphone \u2014 only processed by it. Species-wide mind-networks are ubiquitous in Nature. What\u2019s different with humans is that the forthcoming cybernetic mediation could become synthetic telepathy and beyond that \u2014 the emergence of one global mind, the Syntellect Emergence (cf.
