Causal Emergence of Consciousness through Learned Multiscale Neural Dynamics in Mice
arXiv Preprint Archive September 13, 2025 Zhipeng Wang, Yingqi Rong, Kaiwei Liu et al.
Consciousness spans macroscopic experience and microscopic neuronal activity, yet linking these scales remains challenging. Prevailing theories, such as Integrated Information Theory, focus on a single scale, overlooking how causal power and its dynamics unfold across scales. Progress is constrained by scarce cross-scale data and difficulties in quantifying multiscale causality and dynamics....
