As the field of consciousness science matures, research agenda has expanded from an initial focus on neural correlates consciousness, to developing and testing theories consciousness. Several have been put forward, each aiming elucidate relationship between brain function. However, there is ongoing, intense debate regarding whether these examine same phenomenon. And, despite ongoing efforts, it seems like so far failed converge around any single theory, instead exhibits significant polarization. To advance this discussion, proponents five prominent consciousness-Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT), Higher-Order Theories (HOT), Integrated Information (IIT), Recurrent Processing (RPT), Predictive (PP)-engaged in a public 2022, as part annual meeting Association for Scientific Study Consciousness (ASSC). They were invited clarify explananda their theories, articulate core mechanisms underpinning corresponding explanations, outline foundational premises. This was followed by open discussion that delved into testability potential evidence could refute them, areas consensus disagreement. Most importantly, demonstrated at stage, more controversy than agreement pertaining most basic questions what is, how identify conscious states, required theory Addressing crucial advancing towards deeper understanding comparison competing theories.

Reading a sentence entails integrating the meanings of individual words to infer more complex, higher-order meaning. This highly rapid and complex human behavior is known engage inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) middle temporal (MTG) in language-dominant hemisphere, yet whether there are distinct contributions these regions reading still unclear. To probe neural spatiotemporal dynamics, we used direct intracranial recordings measure activity while sentences, meaning-deficient Jabberwocky lists or pseudowords. We isolated two functionally spatiotemporally frontotemporal networks, each sensitive aspects word composition. The first distributed network engages IFG MTG, with preceding MTG. Activity this ramps up over duration reduced absent during lists, implying its role derivation sentence-level second superior IFG, responses leading those lobe, shows greater activation for list than suggesting that sentential context enables efficiency lexical and/or phonological processing words. These adjacent, dissociable mechanisms word- processes shed light on richly layered semantic networks enable us fluently read. results imply distributed, dynamic computation across language rather clear dichotomy between structures.

How do humans and other animals learn new tasks? A wave of brain recording studies has investigated how neural representations change during task learning, with a focus on tasks can be acquired coded in ways that minimise mutual interference. We review recent work explored the geometry dimensionality neocortex, computational models have exploited these findings to understand may partition knowledge between tasks. discuss ideas from machine including those combine supervised unsupervised are helping neuroscientists natural learned biological brains.

Abstract Research on concepts has concentrated the way people apply online, when presented with a stimulus. Just as important, however, is use of offline, planning what to do or thinking about case. There strong evidence that inferences driven by conceptual thought draw heavily special-purpose resources: sensory, motoric, affective, and evaluative. At same time, afford general-purpose recombination support domain-general reasoning processes—phenomena have long been focus philosophers. growing consensus theory must encompass both kinds process.

The lays out empirically-based account different ways in which takes us new conclusions underpins planning, decision-making, action. It also spells three useful implications account. First, it allows reconstruct commonplace idea draws meaning concept. Second, offers insight into human cognition avoids frame problem complementary, less discussed, ‘if-then problem’ for nested processing dispositions. Third, metacognition concept-driven various ways. framework developed elucidates makes especially powerful cognitive resource.

Abstract Human language is expressive because it compositional: The meaning of a sentence (semantics) can be inferred from its structure (syntax). It commonly believed that syntax and semantics are processed by distinct brain regions. Here, we revisit this claim using precision fMRI methods to capture separation or overlap function in the brains individual participants. Contrary prior claims, find distributed sensitivity both throughout broad frontotemporal network. Our results join growing body evidence for an integrated network human within which internal specialization primarily matter degree rather than kind, contrast with influential proposals advocate different areas types linguistic functions.
