Which is the most empirically useful falsifiable theory of consciousness and why?

Some contenders:

  • Integrated Information Theory
  • Perceptronium
  • Orch-OR
  • Aaronson's decoherence hypothesis
  • McFadden/Qui/Barret EM theories of consciousness
  • David Pearce's quantum binding hypothesis
  • Other falsifiable theory

I have no idea, as I haven't heard of most of these, but now I want to learn!

[opentheory.net] is a good place to start. (Open in a browser and click the download link for Principia Qualia to download the PDF. The Agnostic app won't let you download PDFs directly.)

is also a good primer if you prefer a 40 minutes lecture to an 80 page comparative analysis.

@Devil Thanks, I'll check these out later!
