Recent years have seen a blossoming of theories about the biological and physical basis of
consciousness. Good theories guide empirical research, allowing us to interpret data …

We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

Loss of consciousness is associated with the disruption of long-range thalamocortical and
corticocortical brain communication. We tested the hypothesis that deep brain stimulation …

The brain is a complex, multiscale dynamical system composed of many interacting regions.
Knowledge of the spatiotemporal organization of these interactions is critical for establishing …

The controversial question of whether machines may ever be conscious must be based on a
careful consideration of how consciousness arises in the only physical system that …

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has highlighted the rich
structure of brain activity in absence of a task or stimulus. A great effort has been dedicated …

Adopting the framework of brain dynamics as a cornerstone of human consciousness, we
determined whether dynamic signal coordination provides specific and generalizable …

Identifying the functional specialization of the brain has moved from using cognitive tasks
and resting state to using ecological relevant, naturalistic movies. We leveraged a large …

In this Opinion article, we discuss how integrated information theory accounts for several
aspects of the relationship between consciousness and the brain. Integrated information …

Within the field of computational neuroscience there are great expectations of finding new
ways to rebalance the complex dynamic system of the human brain through controlled …
