An open multi-center MEG-EEG dataset for studying conscious visual perception.

Scientific Data May 29, 2026 Ling Liu, Oscar Ferrante, Tara Ghafari et al.

Here, we present a large-scale, multi-center dataset of combined magnetoencephalographic (MEG) and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings, along with eye-tracking data and high-resolution structural MRI (T1); complementing with iEEG and fMRI datasets that are shared in accompanying data papers. The data was obtained through an adversarial collaboration between advocates of two neuroscientific...

Adversarial testing of global neuronal workspace and integrated information theories of consciousness.

Nature June 1, 2025 Oscar Ferrante, Urszula Gorska-Klimowska, Simon Henin et al. 94 citations

Different theories explain how subjective experience arises from brain activity1,2. These theories have independently accrued evidence, but have not been directly compared3. Here we present an open science adversarial collaboration directly juxtaposing integrated information theory (IIT)4,5 and global neuronal workspace theory (GNWT)6-10 via a theory-neutral consortium11-13. The theory...

An adversarial collaboration to critically evaluate theories of consciousness

bioRxiv Preprint Server June 23, 2023 Oscar Ferrante, Urszula Gorska-Klimowska, Simon Henin et al. preprint

Different theories explain how subjective experience arises from brain activity1,2. These theories have independently accrued evidence, yet, confirmation bias and dependence on design choices hamper progress in the field3. Here, we present an open science adversarial collaboration which directly juxtaposes Integrated Information Theory (IIT)4,5 and Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT)6–10,...

An adversarial collaboration protocol for testing contrasting predictions of global neuronal workspace and integrated information theory

PLoS One February 10, 2023 Lucia Melloni, Liad Mudrik, Michael Pitts et al. 106 citations

The relationship between conscious experience and brain activity has intrigued scientists and philosophers for centuries. In the last decades, several theories have suggested different accounts for these relationships. These theories have developed in parallel, with little to no cross-talk among them. To advance research on consciousness, we established an adversarial collaboration between...
