What Is Mindfulness?

Commander: What is consciousness? And that's something that's been debated in neuroscience circles and philosophical circles for a millennia. For me, some of the most interesting things about human consciousness is the emergence of human consciousness. We are aware as a human being for a quarter of a second called a qualia. Our life is discontinuous in these packages of time - we bite a piece of reality, one quarter of realtime. But mindfulness really is underpinned by awareness and how many neurons you need to be aware.
