A study challenging Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT) on consciousness origins found neither theory definitively correct, suggesting sensory areas may be more central to consciousness than prefrontal control.
Neither IIT nor GNWT fully explained consciousness.
Consciousness may be rooted in sensory processing, not prefrontal control.
Understanding consciousness pathways may aid detection of covert awareness in brain injury patients.
Neither Integrated Information Theory nor Global Neuronal Workspace Theory fully explained conscious experience.
IIT faced challenges as stable back-of-the-brain connections were lacking.
GNWT's emphasis on the prefrontal cortex was challenged by results suggesting sensory areas are more central.
