Organizational closure through regenerative signaling as a possible basis for conscious awareness

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience July 24, 2026 Peter A Cariani, Janet M. Baker

Along the lines of neuronal global workspace theories, the paper hypothesizes that active neural signal regeneration in recurrent, re-entrant circuits could constitute an organizational basis for states of conscious awareness. In this view, brains are self-production systems that regenerate their own informational, signal states ("neural autopoiesis"). States of awareness themselves depend...
