A call for comparing theories of consciousness and data sharing. The Behavioral and brain sciences Eagleman, S. L., Eagleman, D. M., Menon, V., Meador, K. J. 2022; 45: e47

Abstract

Merker, Williford, and Rudrauf make several arguments against the integrated information theory of consciousness; whereas some have merit, their conclusion that the theory should be discarded is premature. Coming years promise advances in the empirical study of consciousness, and only after theories are independently tested with shared data can they be ruled in or out. We propose future research directions.
