Theories of consciousness explore how and why we experience awareness and subjective thoughts. One prominent theory is the Global Workspace Theory, which suggests that consciousness arises when information is broadcasted to various cognitive processes, allowing us to access and utilize it. This theory likens consciousness to a theater stage, where only certain information is highlighted for our attention. Another significant theory is the Integrated Information Theory, which posits that consciousness corresponds to the level of information integration within a system. According to this view, a system with high integration can generate richer conscious experiences, while simpler systems, like a computer, lack true consciousness despite processing information.
