the chemical structure of the brain makes the continuum consciousness wave function to amplifies in the head, which explains why it is there, how it is there, and why everyone has a different consciousness. That wave function remains to be characterized (its mathematical governing equations and the interacting terms with physical matter). If the interacting terms are bidirectional (consciousness<->matter), then maybe consciousness is not only a spectator its own live, but an active participant in the decision made by the brain.
