Information measures for conscious experience

G Tononi. Arch Ital Biol. 2001 Sep.

Abstract

This paper argues that consciousness is integrated information, and introduces measures to assess it. These measures lead to the prediction that a physical system such as the brain gives rise to consciousness when some of its elements constitute a complex having high minimum information midpartition (MID) complexity.
