The Cogitate Consortium is related to the prefrontal cortex because their 2023 adversarial collaboration study specifically investigated and challenged the role of the prefrontal cortex in consciousness [1], [2]. Their findings indicate that the prefrontal cortex shows limited representation of conscious dimensions and fails to confirm the 'ignition' predicted by the Global Neuronal Workspace Theory [3], [4].
