Landscape of Consciousness | Consciousness Theories Hub

A global hub for theories of consciousness—authenticated by leading theorists, designed for professional consciousness communities, and open to all

Miller’s Brain Waves’ Analog Organization of Cortex Earl K. Miller Neuroscientist Earl K. Miller is the Picower Professor of Neuroscience at MIT. He has faculty positions in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory and the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences. His lab investigates the neural mechanisms underlying cognition and consciousness, with a focus on working memory, attention, and executive brain functions. Key contributions include a theory of executive “top-down” control based on prefrontal cortex rule learning and goal maintenance, the discovery of multifunctional “mixed s
