Within neuroscience the anomaly, the failure of existing rules that signifies the necessity of a future paradigm shift, is the difference between conscious and unconscious neural activity. There is no boundary or border that can be drawn on any map of the cortex that can currently tell you when neural activity crosses from the extrinsic into the intrinsic. It is for this reason that neuroscience resembles so much the treading of water. It has not had its Big Theory moment. The reason neuroscience is a quagmire is that it ignores the brain’s entire evolved purpose, it’s very raison d’être—maintaining a stream of consciousness. Every region or module operates on and requires the stream of consciousness in order to make sensible decisions—consciousness is like a brain-wide frame of reference for every other cognitive function. It is the elephant in the brain that neuroscientists feel only parts of, blindly.
