Tononi Lab

The Tononi Lab, led by neuroscientist Giulio Tononi, researches consciousness—how and why we have subjective experiences. They study the brain's structure and activity to understand what makes awareness possible, focusing on how different brain regions communicate and integrate information. Their work explores the neural basis of consciousness, aiming to identify what distinguishes conscious from unconscious states, and how consciousness arises from complex neural networks. This research can help in understanding brain disorders, improving treatments, and advancing artificial intelligence by revealing the fundamental principles underlying conscious experience.
