The Explanatory Gap in Neuroscience

However, even though there is this consensus and even though most would agree that consciousness is intimately related to brain functions, a universally accepted definition is still lacking. It is one of the goals of cognitive neuroscience to arrive at a better characterization of consciousness through a better understanding of the underlying neuronal mechanisms – and there have been remarkable advances in the study of the Neuronal Correlates of Consciousness (NCC). Since the seminal paper of Crick and Koch (1990), several theoretical proposals (Dehaene, Changeux, Nac- cache, Sackur, & Sergent, 2006; Lamme, 2006; Singer, 2000) as well as im- portant empirical contributions regarding NCC have been made. However, important questions remain unresolved. In the following we propose that the search for a neuronal correlate of consciousness is equivalent with the search for neuronal mechanisms that have to account for several constitutive properties of consciousness. Therefore, we shall first summarize these char- acteristics and then explore putative mechanisms. Based on theoretical con- siderations and empirical evidence we propose that neuronal synchrony between distant neuronal assemblies might be a key mechanism for per- ceptual awareness. Finally, some pressing questions in the field of conscious- ness research will be discussed.
