Ambitious theories of consciousness are not "scientific misinformation"
Nobody knows how consciousness works – but top researchers are fighting over which theories are really science

Why consciousness science needs formal mathematical theories and how integrated information theory gained credibility through testable predictions
TRANSCRIPT
So what I mean by that is that Darwinian evolution, for example, still gets a lot of debate. And I think it's because, well, one reason for that is that it's not as formalized as E equals mc2. I think there's just less debate about that once you write this down and you show it works.
And so that got me thinking a lot about how the goal of

- IIT suggests that consciousness emerges when information inside a system (like the brain) is highly connected
