"Consciousness research explores the nature of subjective experience and awareness, encompassing various fields like neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy. It grapples with fundamental questions about what it means to be conscious, how consciousness arises in the brain, and how it relates to the physical world. Modern approaches integrate experimental studies, theoretical models, and clinical observations to understand the neural and psychological mechanisms underlying consciousness," informs an AI Overview adding that scientists are studying the neural basis of self-awareness and how it differs from other forms of consciousness using various approaches, including examining behavioral responses, neural activity, and subjective reports. With the progress the AI based technology various theories, like Integrated Information Theory (IIT) is attempting to explain consciousness mathematically and computationally.

Currently, consciousness is being viewed as a continuum, with varying levels of awareness rather than a simple on/off switch. It is more of transdisciplinary research that draws its strength from diverse fields, including neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, computer science, and even spirituality, to gain a comprehensive understanding, reports the Overview.
