Resumen

El presente artículo analiza el concepto de conciencia consciente. La actividad del cerebro se puede dividir generalmente en dos categorías: procesos inconscientes y aquellos que contribuyen a la construcción de la experiencia consciente. Aquello de lo que somos conscientes y experimentamos y lo que no.  La comprensión de la conciencia requiere la comprensión de cuáles criterios separan a ambos. Por ello planteo un rol importante del comportamiento en esta distinción. Sugiero un medio para separar la experiencia consciente considerando el tipo de comportamiento expresable al que corresponden los procesos inconscientes.
