You are not just the brain. You are the whole body process. You are even the parts that don’t feel like you. The brain is like a hypervisor, showing you just enough to keep you living. The rest of you is automated. Your consciousness are just the parts that need more processing, like vision, decision making, emotion processing, etc.
