Frontiers Publishes Falsifiable Neural-Information Theory of Consciousness — Compares Against IIT, GWT, Recurrent Processing
A peer-reviewed Frontiers in Human Neuroscience paper proposes that consciousness is fundamentally neural information encoded in spatiotemporal patterns of electrochemical signaling. The hypothesis establishes working definitions for qualia, consciousness, and information; systematically compares against Global Workspace Theory, Integrated Information Theory, Recurrent Processing Theory, and Predictive Processing; and makes falsifiable predictions. The paper also addresses implications for artificial consciousness assessment.
