"At What Age Do Babies Develop Consciousness?"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers propose a new method to determine when consciousness emerges in infants by identifying markers of consciousness in adults and tracking their appearance in babies' development. This approach aims to address the challenge of studying consciousness in non-verbal subjects like infants and could provide insights into the complex process of becoming conscious. The study suggests that consciousness may emerge early, from the last prenatal trimester, and recommends considering a broad range of developmental markers to pinpoint the onset of consciousness.
