• The initial conceptualization of the experiment and development of predictions for the adversarial collaboration were conducted by D.J.C., F.F., H.B., Stanislas Dehaene, Christof Koch, Giulio Tononi, L. Mudrik, M.P., and L. Melloni.
• Christof Koch, Marcello Massimini, Melanie Boly, and Giulio Tononi reviewed the progress and problems regarding the neural correlates of consciousness in their 2016 article 'Neural correlates of consciousness: Progress and problems'.
• Neuroscientist Christof Koch endorsed Giulio Tononi's panpsychist view in 2012.
• Giulio Tononi and Christof Koch authored 'Consciousness: here, there and everywhere?', published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences in March 2015.
• Giulio Tononi and Christof Koch argue that panpsychism offers no positive laws explaining how the mind is organized and works, stating: "Besides claiming that matter and mind are one thing, [panpsychism] has little constructive to say and offers no positive laws explaining how the mind is organized and works".
• Giulio Tononi, Melanie Boly, and Christof Koch served as the proponents for Integrated Information Theory (IIT) in the adversarial collaboration.
• Giulio Tononi and Christof Koch state that panpsychism integrates consciousness into the physical world in a way that is "elegantly unitary", despite their other criticisms of the theory.
• Panpsychism has recently regained serious attention among contemporary philosophers and neuroscientists, such as Giulio Tononi and Christof Koch in 2015.
• Christof Koch and Giulio Tononi published 'Can machines be conscious?' in IEEE Spectrum in 2008.
• Christof Koch and Giulio Tononi have explicitly discussed and proposed tests for determining consciousness in machines, utilizing constraints and conditions from the Integrated Information Theory of consciousness.
• Philosophers Joseph Levine, Colin McGinn, and Ned Block, along with cognitive neuroscientists Francisco Varela, Giulio Tononi, and Christof Koch, accept the existence of the hard problem of consciousness.
• Tononi, G., Boly, M., Massimini, M. and Koch, C. (2016) published 'Integrated Information Theory: From Consciousness to Its Physical Substrate' in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, volume 17, pages 450-461.
• Christof Koch and Giulio Tononi are board members and hold financial interests in Intrinsic Powers, a company developing a clinical device for assessing the presence and absence of consciousness in patients.
• Giulio Tononi and Christof Koch state that Integrated Information Theory (IIT) incorporates some elements of panpsychism but not others, because the theory does not hold that all systems are conscious.
• Giulio Tononi and Christof Koch suggest that the hard problem of consciousness may be intractable when working from matter to consciousness, but Integrated information theory might solve it by inverting this relationship and working from phenomenological axioms to matter.
• Integrated information theory (IIT) is a model of consciousness developed by neuroscientist and psychiatrist Giulio Tononi in 2004 and later advocated by Christof Koch.
• The principal investigators of the Cogitate Consortium study on consciousness theories include Liad Mudrik (Tel Aviv University), Michael Pitts (Reed College), Ole Jensen (University of Oxford), Floris de Lange (Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging), Gabriel Kreiman (Harvard University), Huan Luo (Peking University), Hal Blumenfeld (Yale University), Simon Henin (NYU Langone Health), Giulio Tononi (University of Wisconsin–Madison), Stanislas Dehaene (CEA NeuroSpin), and Christof Koch (Allen Institute).
• Neuroscientists Giulio Tononi and Christof Koch embrace a panpsychist-friendly view, suggesting that even simple networks or particles in certain configurations possess elemental consciousness.
