Neural Correlates of Consciousness
The idea of searching for the neural correlates of consciousness was set in motion over thirty years ago by
Francis Crick and
Christof Koch
in their
Scientific American article in 1992 "
The Problem of Consciousness."
In 1998
David Chalmers presented a paper at the second Tucson conference of
consciousness entitled "
On the Search for the Neural Correlate of Consciousness.
At about this time, at a conference in Germany, Koch made a bet with Chalmers that the NCC would be discovered in the
next 25 years. In June 2023 Koch admitted he had lost the bet (
New York Times).
