Signal for Consciousness in Brain Marked by Neural Dialogue


This article is looking at the ways in which doctors can see consciousness in aware patients and those that are unaware. They’re trying to understand what the definition of “conscious” really is in terms of what the brain is doing while someone is conscious versus unconscious. What they’ve deducted is that activity in certain parts of the brain does not generate consciousness. It has to be the exchange of information from different regions in the brain that signals conscious thought.
