Think of your computer, smartphone, or other electronic device as a rudimentary brain. Its well-organized electrical circuits, like the brain's linked cells, allow it to store information and function predictably. Atoms and elementary particles make up electrical circuits and neurons, yet man-made objects aren't sentient. To the minds of most scientists, consciousness is not something that exists in every bit of matter in the cosmos. Yes, only a small number of species with relatively complex brains are capable of experiencing consciousness. However, the more researchers look into the brains and lives of animals, the more evidence they find of a universal consciousness. Consciousness can exist without a brain as complex as a human. A group of neuroscientists met on July 7 at the University of Cambridge to sign a declaration called The Cambridge Statement on Non-Human Animal Consciousness said animals are conscious. other than humans are conscious.
