Here's a crisp comparative table summarizing the leading theories of consciousness:
| Theory | Proponents | Core Idea | Mechanism of Consciousness | Metaphor / Analogy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Global Workspace Theory (GWT) | Bernard Baars, Stanislas Dehaene | Consciousness is global information sharing | Broadcasting information to multiple brain systems | Spotlight on a stage |
| Integrated Information Theory (IIT) | Giulio Tononi | Consciousness is the amount and structure of integrated information | Intrinsic integration (Φ) across a network | Web of interconnected nodes |
| Higher-Order Theory (HOT) | David Rosenthal, Hakwan Lau | Consciousness = thoughts about mental states | Meta-representations: awareness of being aware | Mirror reflecting a mental image |
| Recurrent Processing Theory (RPT) | Victor Lamme | Consciousness comes from feedback in sensory systems | Local reentrant loops in perception areas | Echo chamber in the brain |
| Orch-OR Theory | Roger Penrose, Stuart Hameroff | Quantum processes create conscious moments | Quantum collapse in neuronal microtubules | Quantum orchestra inside neurons |
Let me know if you'd like this visualized or adapted for a slide or infographic.
