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 …

How is conscious experience related to material brain processes? A variety of theories
aiming to answer this age-old question have emerged from the recent surge in …

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 …

There have been a number of advances in the search for the neural correlates of
consciousness—the minimum neural mechanisms sufficient for any one specific conscious …

Determining the state of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness is a
challenging practical and theoretical problem. Recent findings suggest that multiple markers …

Various theories for the neural basis of consciousness have been proposed, suggesting a
diversity of neural signs and mechanisms. We ask to what extent this diversity is real, or …
