The Neural Basis of Consciousness Project

The Neural Basis of Consciousness Project investigates how brain activity creates our conscious experience. It explores how different neural networks and brain structures process sensations, thoughts, and emotions to produce awareness. Using advanced imaging and analysis, researchers aim to identify patterns and mechanisms that differentiate conscious states from unconscious ones. The goal is to understand what parts of the brain are involved in awareness, how they communicate, and how disruptions lead to unconsciousness, ultimately shedding light on the fundamental nature of consciousness and informing treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions.
