I don't think that's a question of science.

More or less, my viewpoint is that cognitive neuroscience does research on consciousness every day, it just isn't mystical so people don't call it consciousness.

IYO where does consciousness come from?

do you meditate? do you think consciousness research can benefit from more...spiritual investigations into a researchers subjective experience? Or is it a waste of time?

Again, when I was saying consciousness there, I wasn't referring to the traditional sense of consciousness, because I think the traditional sense requires mysticism.

I think working memory relies on prefrontal circuits that have particular cellular properties that allow for attractor dynamics that are resilient to distraction, for example. I think cognitive neuroscience studies consciousness in the only way consciousness exists. Which is, more or less, non existing.
