Giulio Tononi

Giulio Tononi is a neuroscientist known for his work on consciousness, particularly through his Integrated Information Theory (IIT). This theory posits that consciousness arises from the integration of information within a system. According to Tononi, the more interconnected and organized the information, the richer the conscious experience. He engages with "The Hard Problem of Consciousness," which addresses why and how subjective experiences arise from physical brain processes. Tononi's approach attempts to quantify consciousness and explore its fundamental nature, bridging gaps between neuroscience and philosophy.
