With the rise of brain-interface technology and artificial intelligence that can imitate brain functions, understanding the nature of consciousness and how it interacts with reality is not just an age ...

A mathematical analysis suggests that the notion of agency, which is a prerequisite for consciousness, cannot be purely ...

One of the most important open questions in science is how our consciousness is established. In the 1990s, long before winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his prediction of black holes, ...

BOT or NOT? This special series explores the evolving relationship between humans and machines, examining the ways that robots, artificial intelligence and automation are impacting our work and lives.

The study of consciousness has long challenged the scientific community. Historically, researchers have struggled to explain exactly how physical neural activity gives rise to subjective perceptual ...

Physicist Michael Pravica has put forth a revolutionary theory suggesting that human consciousness may originate from a higher dimension, potentially enabling it to transcend the physical constraints ...
