Electromagnetism's Bridge Across the Explanatory Gap: How a Neuroscience/Physics Collaboration Delivers Explanation Into All Theories of Consciousness.
Front Hum Neurosci June 16, 2022 Peer reviewed DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2022.836046 via PubMed Central
Summary
A collaborative framework between neuroscience and physics is proposed to address the explanatory gap in theories of consciousness. The work argues that electromagnetism serves as a bridge, enabling mechanistic explanations that integrate neural and physical accounts. It suggests that this interdisciplinary approach can deliver coherent explanations across diverse theories of consciousness, moving beyond purely philosophical or neural descriptions.
