Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA collaboration between neuroscience and physics uses electromagnetism to bridge the explanatory gap in theories of consciousness. The work argues that electromagnetic fields provide a physical mechanism linking neural activity to conscious experience, offering a unified explanation that can be integrated into all major theories of consciousness. This approach delivers a concrete, testable framework for understanding how subjective experience arises from objective brain processes, potentially resolving long-standing philosophical and scientific debates about the nature of consciousness.
