One of the greatest challenges of consciousness research is to understand the relationship
between consciousness and its implementing substrate. Current research into the neural …

The neurosciences have advanced to the point that we can now treat consciousness as a
scientific problem like any other. The problem is to explain how brain processes cause …

According to the integrated information theory of consciousness (IIT), consciousness is a
fundamental observer-independent property of physical systems, and the measure Phi of …

Neuroscience has made considerable progress in figuring out how the brain works. We
know much about the molecular-genetic and biochemical underpinnings of sensory and …

Consciousness,'the last great mystery for science', remains a hot topic. How can a physical
brain create our experience of the world? What creates our identity? Do we really have free …

In the search for neural correlates of consciousness (NCC), the concept of 'consciousness'
remains problematic. We suggest that not only the 'consciousness' in neural correlates of …

Human nervous systems display an impressive roster of comple including the following:
perceiving, learning and remembering, plann performing actions, as well as the capacities to …

The integrated information theory of consciousness (IIT) is divisive: while some believe it
provides an unprecedentedly powerful approach to address the 'hard problem', others …

To truly eliminate Cartesian ghosts from the science of consciousness, we must describe
consciousness as an aspect of the physical. Integrated Information Theory states that …

Information processing in neural systems can be described and analyzed at multiple
spatiotemporal scales. Generally, information at lower levels is more fine-grained but can be …
