Reviews recent work studying the neural correlates of conscious contents and their interactions with cognitive processes. Outlines contemporary theories of consciousness, illustrate how they can be empirically tested, and discuss their implications for the presence vs. absence of consciousness in artificial intelligent systems. ### requirements text (PSYCH 454andZOOLOGY/​PSYCH  523) or graduate/professional standing ### credit offering ids None recorded. ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output
