A peer-reviewed paper published in Frontiers in Psychology proposes that consciousness is not simply a byproduct of brain activity but instead acts as a top-down force that shapes neural processes.

An unprecedented experiment seven years in the making has shaken the field of neuroscience. Researchers set out to answer one of science’s most puzzling questions: Where does consciousness come from?

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have unveiled a method to expand human consciousness by directly interfacing with the brain through quantum processes. This innovative approach, detailed on ...

Thanks to advances in science, we’re now able to move beyond Bohm and Bohr’s theorizing; we can test their hypotheses through ...

A RECENT GROUNDBREAKING EXPERIMENT in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of consciousness ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Science routinely puts forward theories, then batters them with data till only one is left standing. In the fledgling science of ...

The controversial idea that quantum effects in the brain can explain consciousness has passed a key test. Experiments show that anaesthetic drugs reduce how long tiny structures found in brain cells ...

Philip Goff has received funding from the Templeton Foundation. The progress of science in the last 400 years is mind-blowing. Who would have thought we’d be able to trace the history of our universe ...

A group photo from the original meeting in March 2018 at the Allen Institute in Seattle, WA, that kicked off the set of adversarial collaborations. IIT suggests that consciousness emerges when ...

It’s not for want of data. Ever since Francis Crick, the codiscoverer of DNA’s double helix, legitimized consciousness as a topic for study more than three decades ago, researchers have used a variety ...
