Abstract
This paper considers the concept of conscious awareness. The activity of the brain can generally be divided into two categories: unconscious processes and those that contribute to building conscious experience. That which we are consciously aware of and experiencing; and that which we are not. An understanding of consciousness requires an understanding of what criteria separate the two. I argue a role for behaviour ina the distinction. I suggest a means of separating out conscious experience by considering the sort of expressible behaviour that unconscious processes correspond to.
