Consciousness is intrinsically linked to the nervous system through theories of its emergence from neural processes [1] and the neurocentric view positing the nervous system's fundamental role [2]. This connection is supported by action-based syntheses [3], proposals of quantum influences within the nervous system [4], and PCI measures where perturbations reveal consciousness via system-wide changes [5].

claimWhen using the perturbational complexity index (PCI), a local perturbation in the nervous system leads to massive and unpredictable changes in the system if it is integrated, which is interpreted as a sign of consciousness; if the system is modular, the perturbation leads to only small changes in the global activity pattern.
claimThe neurocentric view of consciousness posits that the nervous system plays a fundamental role in the emergence of consciousness.
