Abstract

The neurobiological model of consciousness is implanted and currently enrooted in modern science. This contribution tries to prove that this model has a weak foundation that has to be reinforced. In order to support this statement we critically reflect on three of its essential dimensions: (i) identifying brain with consciousness, (ii) the denial of free will and (iii) the limited clinical applications of the model. These reflections indicate the necessity to build a stronger model. It is required a predictive model in which the results may not just validate the model, but also configure the specific applications to improve the health and quality of people's life.
