what are the main/most popular theories as to how the brain creates consciousness? not neural correlates btw
>>9702364
this book is quite good
it basically proposes that consciousness/awareness is a model of our current mental attentional state we use to understand ourselves and our actions as well as impose top down orders on the brain. On top of that, it argues that the brain uses the same machinery to attribute consciousness to ourselves that it uses to attribute it to others, which is a mind-bending thought.

There are none. We don't have the foggiest.
Probably the because materialism is false.
Unironically Aquinas.
Read Walter Freeman and Edward Feser on Aquinas and neuroscience.

The first mistake is to place any significant value or agency in this ill-formed idea of "consciousness".
