Lecture Consciousness and the brain: comparing and testing neuroscientific theories of consciousness
04/16/2024 16:56 Consciousness and the brain: comparing and testing neuroscientific theories of consciousnessProf. Liad Mudrik | Sagol School of Neuroscience, School of Psychological Sciences, Tel Aviv UniversityTue, Apr 16, 12:30 | Gerhard M.J. Schmidt Lecture Hall
For centuries, consciousness was considered to be outside the reach of scientific investigation. Yet in recent decades, more and more studies have tried to probe the neural correlates of conscious experience, and several neuronally-inspired theories for consciousness have emerged. In this talk, I will focus on four leading theories of consciousness: Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW), integrated Information Theory (IIT), Recurrent Processing Theory (RPT) and Higher Order Theory (HOT). I will first shortly present the guiding principles of these theories. Then, I will provide a bird's-eye view of the field, using the results of a large-scale quantitative and analytic review we conducted, examining all studies that either empirically tested these theories or interpreted their findings with respect to at least one of them. Finally, I will describe the first results of the Cogitate consortium - an adversarial collaboration aimed at testing GNW and IIT.
