In recent years, several neuroscientific theories of consciousness have been proposed, without converging on one account. Instead, they have been developed independently, and lack of cross-talk between theorists has substantially hindered progress in the field. In order to accelerate research on consciousness, theories should be compared within the same framework and tested using the same experimental and analytical approaches. In so doing, their explanatory and predictive power can be evaluated in an impartial and unbiased way.

This symposium focuses on such an attempt: the COGITATE Adversarial Collaboration involving Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW) and Integrated Information Theory (IIT).
