The neural correlate of consciousness (NCC) is a term made popular by Francis Crick and Christof Koch in the early 1990s. It refers to those neural activities explicitly correlated with conscious experience. The NCC has become a hot area of research in the neuroscientific community. The NCC seeks to avoid questions of causation, and philosophical debates that are associated with the study of consciousness; hence the emphasis on looking for a "correlation".
