BI 211 COGITATE: Testing Theories of Consciousness

Rony Hirschhorn, Alex Lepauvre and Oscar Ferrante describe COGITATE's adversarial comparison of integrated information and global neuronal workspace theories. The conversation covers agreed predictions, a shared task measured with EEG, MEG and fMRI, evidence about location, duration and inter-area communication, and the practical difficulties of interpreting mixed results across competing theories.
