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 …

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 …

The science of consciousness has made great strides by focusing on the behavioural and
neuronal correlates of experience. However, while such correlates are important for …

Which systems/organisms are conscious? New tests for consciousness ('C-tests') are
urgently needed. There is persisting uncertainty about when consciousness arises in human …
