The hard problem, machine minds, and the neural correlates researchers can measure but still cannot fully explain. This wing holds the live, unresolved fight over what consciousness actually is, integrated information against global workspace and everything contesting both.
Anesthesia: The Reversible Off-Switch for the Self
