The position of Kant does not align with the direction modern neuroscience is heading towards. Current evidence seems to prefer decentralized theories of consciousness like Dennett's multiple drafts model[1], suggesting there is no central point where everything comes together to form conscious experience, but instead that it itself is constituted by collaborative processes that have multiple realizations.

There is no such thing as consciousness in Dennett's theory, his position is that it doesn't exist, he is a Eliminativist. This is of course an absurd position with no evidence for it as people like Chalmers have pointed out (including in that Wikipedia article), and it might be the most comical and ideological position in the last 200 years.

		From the link: > However, Dennett is not denying the existence of the mind or of consciousness, only what he considers a naive view of them It doesn't seem like he's Eliminativist. It also seems like the criticisms rely on harping on about qualia, which is one of the sillier schools of sophistry. I'd need to see actual criticisms before believing that Dennett is pushing for something comical.
