"Debunking the Controversial Theory: Is Consciousness Science or Pseudoscience?"

Over 100 consciousness researchers have criticized the Integrated Information Theory (IIT) as pseudoscience, sparking a debate about the intersection of science and philosophy in understanding consciousness. IIT suggests that consciousness is more widespread than traditionally believed, but critics argue that its broad claims lack comprehensive empirical support. The theory combines scientific and philosophical perspectives, leading some researchers to question its scientific rigor. The controversy highlights the challenge of studying consciousness, which is not publicly observable, and the need for a partnership between science and philosophy to unravel its mysteries.
