Objective No current model of consciousness is univocally accepted on either theoretical or
empirical grounds, and the need for a solid unifying framework is evident. Special attention …

Consciousness science is marred by disparate constructs and methodologies, making it
challenging to systematically compare theories. This foundational crisis casts doubts on the …

Consciousness requires a dynamic balance of integration and segregation in brain
networks. We report an fMRI-based metric, the integration-segregation difference (ISD) …

The apparent dichotomy between information-processing and dynamical approaches to
complexity science forces researchers to choose between two diverging sets of tools and …

The study of consciousness has gained momentum in recent years by the scientific
community. In this same sense, the relationship between cognitive sciences and artificial …

Integrated Information Theory (IIT) posits that integrated information (Φ) represents the
quantity of a conscious experience. Here, the generalized Ising model was used to calculate …

There are now dozens of very different theories of consciousness, each somehow
contributing to our understanding of its nature. The science of consciousness needs …

Inspired by models of self-organized criticality, a family of measures quantifies long-range
correlations in neural and behavioral activity in the form of self-similar (eg, power-law …

The brain integrates volition, cognition, and consciousness seamlessly over three
hierarchical (scale-dependent) levels of neural activity for their emergence: a causal or …

The relation between electroencephalography (EEG) rhythms, brain functions, and
behavioral correlates is well-established. Some physiological mechanisms underlying …
