The human brain is the primary biological substrate studied in relation to consciousness, as evidenced by research into its integrated information levels [1], its functional coding of thoughts [2], and the use of clinical tools like TMS and EEG to assess its conscious state [3]. Furthermore, theoretical frameworks explore whether consciousness is uniquely tied to the human brain's specific computational functions [4] or if it can be expanded or replicated through external coupling [5] and scale-invariant properties [6].
