What is consciousness? A global team of researchers, including Chair of Translation Cognitive Neuroscience Professor Ole Jensen, put two top theories to the test. Find out how they fared: buff.ly/5IU1BH0

"This adversarial collaboration has not only provided crucial understanding of how consciousness emerges in the brain but has also revealed a novel and powerful methodology for conducting science, one that we will undoubtedly incorporate into our future MEG investigations on cognitive and clinical neuroscience."
