We are very excited to share this new preprint @yutogashi.bsky.social @oizumim.bsky.social with the excellent video providing the idea! The paper explains how this approach actually goes into more details in revealing subtle individual difference and complex structures of color qualia.

Every time I upload a paper to #bioRxiv, I wonder why it can't be this easy at every journal 🧪

wonderful!

This paper and lecture by @wgpm.bsky.social address a long standing question about #IIT: if #consciousness is intrinsic, how does it relate to its #environment? From our @qualiastructure.bsky.social Qualia Structure & IIT Summer School 2025!

If your stimulus set is so large that each participant can only use a part of it, do you know random selection is not a good way to distribute the stimuli? We introduced a methodology to collect data efficiently. @naotsuchiya.bsky.social @qualiastructure.bsky.social doi.org/10.13140/RG....

I disagree, it’s an hypothesis that you cannot test and that it’s not embedded in an explanatory framework..

I will check this reference out! My understanding is that you can always push functions a bit further till the point you have a description of the substrate. Then either it collapse in identity theory or become a substrate relevant framework, such as the one proposed by @anilseth.bsky.social.

New paper! Toward a unified taxonomy of information dynamics via Integrated Information Decomposition, out now in @pnas.org - led by @frosas.bsky.social, Pedro Mediano, & Adam Barrett, w/ @andrealuppi.bsky.social @robincarhartharris.bsky.social, me, & Dan Bor. www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

This is a core issue that I have with the recent paper on AI and consciousness based on computational functionalist theories. Also the term theory is very inflated nowadays. I am guilty of that myself, but something to think about.

Another preprint! By @zhangchuyin.bsky.social me and @naotsuchiya.bsky.social !

New preprint out! My friend @zhangchuyin.bsky.social is new on Bluesky, he is a brilliant student close to the end of his PhD, please follow him!

Check out our new preprint on theories of #consciousness!

New #preprint out! In this paper @naotsuchiya.bsky.social and I take a look at the current debate on theories of #consciousness from a #meta-theoretical standpoint, and we argue that there is an ongoing process of #schismogenesis in consciousness science. [1/n] www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Congratulations!

The spirit of Judo is enshrined in its two mottos, that roughly translates into “the maximum effective use of energy” and “mutual benefit” (but please correct me if you know a better translation). According to its founder, Kano Jigoro, Judo means following these principles in every aspect of life.

I wrote a commentary (mostly) disagreeing with the thought-provoking @smfleming.bsky.social & @matthiasmichel.bsky.social BBS paper about consciousness arising during the transition of animals from sea to land. #consciousness #neuroscience #evolution

Our new book chapter is out, looking at self-awareness/personhood in nonhuman animals, and how it may relate to questions of suffering link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

If you are interested in bird behaviour or animal brains, our book has you covered. Available next week, you can order direct from @mitpress.bsky.social (mitpress.mit.edu/978026255273...) or wherever books are sold. #birds #neuroskyence 🪶🧠🧪🇨🇦 See more on it here: www.ulethbridge.ca/unews/articl...

I'm going to be no fun and suppress the impulse to make fun of that, because it actually raises an interesting point. Can the emergent macroscopic 'whole' reach down and control the otherwise random quantum goings-on within it?

Does meditation just happen to address multiple types of suffering, or does its broad effectiveness hint at something deeper about the mechanisms of suffering or well-being itself? We address this in our new preprint! @rubenlaukkonen.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

This looks good!

Very good point! We started from similar premises in our 2021 paper academic.oup.com/nc/article/2... And a similar claim was made more recently by Trachtenberg and colleagues journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... Philosophy of psychiatry and neuroscience of consciousness have a lot in common!

This looks genuinely amazing. My streak of bad luck with conferences in 2025 continues because I won’t be in Kyoto at that time 😭

Very pleased that my commentary on Jonathan Birch's fantastic "The Edge of Sentience" has finally appeared. @birchlse.bsky.social and I agree on many things, but there was enough distance between our views to make this a productive exchange.

29 scholars reflect on their participation in adversarial collaborations: “Rather than producing a clear 'winner,' the most common outcome was a deeper understanding of the problem space through the integration of opposing perspectives” Open Access: doi.org/10.1007/s111... #MetaSci #Methodology 🧪

Awesome!

I’m very sad to say that I had to cancel my flight to ASSC. Life is ironic: I had to overcome several challenges to attend this conference but when everything was ready, I experienced a severe heatstroke from which I haven’t recovered yet. Genuinely one of the worst experiences in my life.

Really great!

If you're interested in consciousness, please check this accepted chapter where I try to confront two major assumptions 1) the NCC is probably some type of pattern of spiking 2) we're close to figuring out the computations underlying consciousness arxiv.org/abs/2506.21485 #consci #assc28 🧵👇

I always thought that star wars episode III was the most important movie of the century. Twenty years later I can say I was right.

So sad I missed this! I would really love to connect with Japan Association for Philosophy of Science! And Sendai is truly beautiful!

🥳 The 2024 Impact Factor & CiteScores are now released. We're pleased to inform you that Neuroscience of Consciousness #NCONSC achieved an Impact Factor of  4.3 (2023 IF 4.1). We are very excited and thankful for our prolific community of consciousness science! #consci @thomasandrillon.bsky.social

Great summary by @faunalytics.bsky.social of our recent paper on welfare risks for cephalopods and decapods faunalytics.org/seafood-anim...

I am annoyed that people are treating the use of em-dashes as diagnostic of AI-generated text. I have always used em-dashes in my writing—to mark off a parenthesis or to signal a break within a sentence—not because I'm an AI, but because I learned how to punctuate.

Our latest paper has been published on Neuroscience of Consciousness! Ellia and Tsuchiya 2025: academic.oup.com/nc/article/2...

Best tweet summary for a paper😂😅

This is a really good article to reflect on the importance of the substrate for consciousness. But what I liked the most, is the initial part on biases in attributing consciousness. Quite fundamental.

New talk from our lab by Kyoko Kusano! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPG4...

Amazing experience! Highly recommended!!
