# The Consciousness AI
> Research blog on artificial consciousness: peer-reviewed papers, philosophy of mind, AI welfare, and consciousness themes in film/TV/games. Covers IIT, GWT, HOT, biological naturalism, functionalism, phenomenal consciousness, and moral status of AI. Research-grade analysis updated multiple times per month.
The Consciousness AI (theconsciousness.ai) publishes 696 long-form articles on artificial consciousness, from academic papers (Nature, Synthese, Neuron, arXiv) and books (MIT Press, OUP, Cambridge UP) to films, TV series, and games. The site also documents an original open-source project: a 7-layer biologically grounded architecture for emerging artificial consciousness based on Feinberg and Mallatt's neuroevolutionary theory.
## Key pages
- [Home](https://theconsciousness.ai/): Overview of The Consciousness AI project and architecture
- [All Posts](https://theconsciousness.ai/posts/): Full article index, newest first (696 posts)
- [ACM Architecture](https://theconsciousness.ai/architecture/): 7-layer consciousness architecture technical documentation
- [Origins Console](https://theconsciousness.ai/architecture/origins/): Interactive deep time map of where Todd E. Feinberg and Jon M. Mallatt place the origin of consciousness, covering their three independent origins in vertebrates, arthropods and cephalopod molluscs between 560 and 520 million years ago, the optic tectum, the arthropod central complex and the octopus vertical lobe, their distinction between image-based consciousness and affective consciousness, and the clades they rule out including protochordates, cnidarians, nematodes and sponges, with a source for every claim
- [Brain Waves Console](https://theconsciousness.ai/architecture/waves/): Live models of neural traveling waves, spirals, wave-gated perception (Davis et al. 2020) and co-ripples (Verzhbinsky, Halgren et al. 2026), and the AKOrN Kuramoto oscillators inside The Consciousness AI agent
- [Single Neuron Console](https://theconsciousness.ai/architecture/neuron/): One nerve cell run in the browser with a JavaScript port of the fixed step method of the NEURON simulator, checked against NEURON 9.0.2 output on twenty models. A Hodgkin-Huxley compartment, a passive cable, a travelling spike, NEURON's demo pyramidal cell with passive dendrites, and a loader for any reconstructed cell on NeuroMorpho.Org, with the link to the Dendritic Integration Theory of Aru, Suzuki and Larkum
- [States of Consciousness Console](https://theconsciousness.ai/architecture/states/): Released 64-channel EEG of one person through propofol anaesthesia (DANDI 001285, CC BY 4.0, protocol of Purdon et al. 2013), scrubbed minute by minute: the spectrogram, slow, alpha and beta power against the first 20 minutes, and the raw EEG. The release carries no consciousness markers, and the page says so
- [Zap and Zip Console](https://theconsciousness.ai/architecture/zap-and-zip/): Released mouse EEG (DANDI 000458, CC BY 4.0, Claar et al

What verification unlocks
See how your site is discovered—and control what agents see.
- See your website in the map
Review your indexed topics, nearby publishers sharing headings, measured listing exposure and map snapshots in a private report for your website.
- Control what agents see
Edit your listing description, tags, public contact details and additional llms.txt paths. Publish your terms for automated access, attribution and pricing.
- Make your profile eligible for search
A valid, listed, unblocked, verified profile can appear in our publisher sitemap and become eligible for search-engine visibility. Search engines decide what to index and rank.
- Appear in our llms-full.txt
Eligible verified publishers are listed by name, with their file links and summaries, in the service overview agents can read.
Free. No account registration, backlink or payment required. Public discovery remains available without verification.
Let your coding agent verify it
If your coding agent is authorized to manage this website, paste these instructions into it.
Claim my listing on Agent Web Map for theconsciousness.ai:
1. POST https://agentwebmap.com/v1/sites/theconsciousness.ai/claims and keep claim_id and claim_secret private.
2. Publish the verification line "AgentWebMap verification: <token>" (token from step 1) in https://theconsciousness.ai/llms.txt, or use the DNS, meta-tag or well-known method the response describes. This only verifies the listing; your website and domain remain yours.
3. POST https://agentwebmap.com/v1/sites/theconsciousness.ai/verify with {"claim_id": "...", "claim_secret": "..."}.
4. Save the api_key from the answer; it manages the listing (PATCH https://agentwebmap.com/v1/sites/theconsciousness.ai).
