On the measurability of consciousness.
Front Psychol May 30, 2025 Satya Pradhan
A new framework for measuring consciousness is proposed, drawing on consciousness theories and engineering concepts like measurement workflow, problem space analysis, and observability. It introduces measurability criteria and applies them to various use cases, assessing whether current theories and technologies can measure consciousness attributes in those contexts. The framework is intended to help researchers and engineers determine the feasibility of developing a consciousness measurement system for specific applications.
