The relationship between consciousness and neural processes is defined by various philosophical and scientific frameworks, including David Chalmers' critique of their identity [1], Dan Dennett's view of consciousness as an emergent property [2], and the explanatory gap addressed by type-A materialism [3]. Furthermore, researchers like Bruce MacLennan seek to formalize this connection [4], while the global workspace theory posits that consciousness emerges from integrated neural activity [5].

claimThe facts about consciousness do not follow from the facts about the structure and functioning of neural processes, provided that type-A materialism is rejected.
perspectiveDavid Chalmers argues that identifying consciousness with a neural process to derive facts about consciousness is 'cheating' because it builds the identity into the premise to derive the identity.
claimBruce MacLennan aims to develop a theory explaining the connection between neural processes and consciousness.

perspectiveDan Dennett advocated for evolutionary biology and computational models of the mind, and proposed that consciousness is an emergent property of neural processes and evolution.
