Doesn't this test prove that consciousness IS in the brain? It said they failed the test during the sleep stage, when we "surrender" our consciousness. I want to believe in a seperate consciousness just as much as the next person but this puts a damper on that...it sounds pretty positive that our brain is what gives us the consciousness. That would explain the babies not recognizing themselves until their brain matured to the right age. If consciousness is always there, why don't babies have that sense right from the start?
