Five years ago, the Templeton World Charity Foundation initiated a
series of “adversarial collaborations” to coax the overdue winnowing
to begin. This past June saw the results from the first of these
collaborations, which pitted two high-profile theories against each
other: global neuronal workspace theory (GNWT) and integrated
information theory (IIT). Neither emerged as the outright winner.
