Brain activity can now test theories of consciousness, debunking previous claims.
The article "Brain states matter. A reply to the unfolding argument." challenges the claim that certain theories cannot explain consciousness. By examining the argument mathematically, it was found that the problem applies to most theories of consciousness, not just one. However, the argument falls apart when a key assumption is removed, which suggests that the claim is not valid. The assumption in question is that brain activity measures cannot be used to test theories of consciousness.
