The Consciousness of Neuroscience
Àlex Gómez-Marín
Abstract
[Significance Statement] Real science is not only about “the data” but also about theoretical, sociological, economic, and political matters. Reflecting on the struggles of the ongoing adversarial collaboration to test theories of consciousness, here I suggest to “ask not what neuroscience can do for consciousness but what consciousness can \ndo for neuroscience.”
