The Hard Problem of Consciousness: Integrated Information Theory vs. Global Neuronal Workspace
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) April 10, 2026 Juan Moises de la Serna preprint
The search for the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) is currently dominated by two competing paradigms: Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW). This paper analyzes the recent 'adversarial collaboration' results that test these theories' predictions regarding the anatomical location and timing of conscious activity. We discuss the implications of finding...
