An excellent BBC article on Prof Tononi’s theory and developed work on consciousness being dependent on the level of information integration in the human brain.
Wonder if our own resident neuroscientist who now rarely posts on this forum - Dr Santosh Helekar is able to further simplify the implications of this theory in our daily lives and hopefully put to practical use. Perhaps one day when we know more, we can suppress our painful mental pain (physical pain plays an important part in healing) and even depression helping us not only to avoid extremes like suicide, but also eliminating obstacles to our own happiness. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20190326-are-we-close-to-solving-the-puzzle-of-consciousness Roland.
