The provided sources explore various neuroscience theories and phenomena related to consciousness, highlighting how different models attempt to explain this complex concept. Several articles discuss the Global Workspace Theory (GWT) and its connection to brain regions like the prefrontal cortex, while others examine Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Michael Graziano's attention schema theory as frameworks for understanding consciousness. The collection also investigates neural correlates of consciousness through studies involving fMRI, EEG, and TMS, focusing on how brain activity changes in altered states of consciousness caused by propofol, dreaming, and psychedelic substances like psilocybin. Furthermore, some sources touch upon the application of these studies to clinical aspects of consciousness and even consider the potential for signs of consciousness in artificial intelligence.
