What interests me the most are the levels of subconscious/consciousness and where all this combines to create our singular, waking awareness.
Based on evidence of the effects of dissociative drugs, psychedelic drugs, and general anaesthetics, it seems likely that our 'singular, waking awareness' is primarily an effect of the information transfer between various brain regions through the posterior cingulate cortex.
Of course, knowing that doesn't make it any less of a head-fuck to contemplate how strange it is to be anything at all.
