Scientists have concluded that consciousness can emerge in humans before birth.

This is evidenced by studies of attention indicators, integration of information from various senses, as well as physical markers involved in the emotions of surprise and attentional reorientation. By summarizing the findings of these studies, scientists have come to their own conclusion: newborns can integrate sensory and developing cognitive reactions into a cohesive conscious experience, in order to understand the actions of others and plan their own reactions, indicating that consciousness emerges in them before birth.
