Abstract

The article elucidates theoretical frameworks aimed at addressing the complexities surrounding consciousness within the realm of contemporary cognitive science. It is evident that current research predominantly focuses on identifying the neural correlates of consciousness. Concurrently, a pivotal concept within the explanatory models proposed by cognitive scientists is the notion of 'information.' Specifically, the quantity of integrated information, as posited in D. Tononi's theory, serves as a metric for assessing the intricacy of consciousness as a subjective experience. This perspective is largely endorsed by D. Chalmers, who advocates for the concept of information panpsychism. Furthermore, an emerging area of inquiry in cognitive research is 'embodied cognition.' It is plausible to anticipate that the synthesis of findings from various scientific investigations will culminate in the development of a theory possessing significantly greater explanatory power than those currently available.
