Drawing on neuroscientific research and metacognitive theory, this
groundbreaking volume examines the theoretical implications that
are elicited when neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) are
identified. The relationship between consciousness and the brain
has concerned philosophers for centuries, yet a tacit assumption in
much empirically minded consciousness research seems to be that if
we can only develop a map of correlations, no further questions
remain to be asked. Beyond Neural Correlates of Consciousness
starts where others stop, by asking what these correlations may
tell us about the nature of consciousness. The book contains
chapters considering the upshots of finding the neural correlates
of consciousness in light of the most prominent contemporary
theories in the field. This illuminates the theoretical
consequences of succeeding in the quest for the neural correlates
of consciousness from the perspective of global workspace theory,
higher-order thought theory, local recurrency theory, and REFCON
models, in addition to considering how this quest is shaped by
different conscious phenomena, such as dreaming, altered states of
consciousness, and different levels of consciousness. This
insightful text features sophisticated theories that goes beyond
correlational inferences and neural mapping, and will be of
interest to students and researchers of consciousness, particularly
those interested in interpreting neural correlates.
