The concept of consciousness, which remains one of humanity’s greatest mysteries, was instrumental in giving rise to a claim that has been going on for 25 years in the scientific world. A neuroscientist and a philosopher predict that the source of consciousness will be found in 2023. in 1998 made an argument.

However, the year has been 2023. In the 25 years we have left behind, the source of consciousness has still not been discovered. But the new research on the subject has now determined the winner. The winner of neuroscientist Christof Koch and philosopher David Chalmers, philosopher Chalmers it happened.

How did consciousness turn into a claim?

In fact, the duo’s claim didn’t start off a scientific discussion. Sitting in a bar in Bremen, Germany, the duo must have had a little too much to drink. they had extended their conversation to consciousness.

David Chalmers, who also lectured at a conference on consciousness in the morning, carried the topic to the bar. After a few drinks, Koch drew the swords. In 25 years, a clue to consciousness will be discovered in the brain. told. Chalmers said it wasn’t possible, the argument started.

The two names met at the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness meeting held in New York on June 23 and announced the winner.

Research that concludes the claim:

With the end of 25 years, the duo had to put an end to this claim. For this reason, the results of the new study based on two main hypotheses were shared at the Association’s meeting. At the same time these results the claim is terminated.

The study, signed by the duo along with several scientists, addressed the hypotheses of “integrated information theory” and “global workplace theory”. Studies and tests in the brain, disagreed with both hypotheses. The research, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, suggested that hypotheses need to be recast.
