Exploring Consciousness: An Insight into Integrated Information Theory
In recent discussions surrounding consciousness, there has been a substantial shift in perceptions influenced by integrated information theory (IIT). This theory proposes a revolutionary framework that departs from traditional neuroscience, allowing for new explorations of what consciousness truly is. While many scientists have attempted to understand consciousness solely through the study of the brain, IIT introduces a different perspective by starting with consciousness itself. By understanding the qualities and structures of consciousness, we can better comprehend how they emerge from the physical world.
