Sam Harris
A theory of Consciousness that Erik Hoel worked on developing during his PhD in neuroscience.
David Chalmers: What is Consciousness? | AI Podcast Clips
Lex Fridman
A scientific theory of consciousness that suggests consciousness is related to the degree of integrated information processing in a system.
David Chalmers: The Hard Problem of Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #69
Lex Fridman
A theory of consciousness that suggests consciousness arises from integrated information processing in a system, leading some neuroscientists to a panpsychist view.
Consciousness and Self (Rebroadcast): A Conversation with Anil Seth (Episode #264)
Sam Harris
A prominent theory of consciousness that quantifies consciousness based on the complexity of information integration within a system.

Lee Cronin: Origin of Life, Aliens, Complexity, and Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #269

A theory of consciousness proposed by Giulio Tononi that seeks to explain which physical systems are conscious and to what degree, based on how a system is connected (quantified by 'phi'). It is criticized for its non-rigorous derivation and counter-intuitive predictions.
Roger Penrose: Physics of Consciousness and the Infinite Universe | Lex Fridman Podcast #85
Lex Fridman
A theory of consciousness that Penrose critiques, viewing its proponents as computational despite their claims that consciousness is not computational.
