Novel Embodiments of Mind: Natural, Bioengineered, and Hybrid Interfaces - Michael Levin youtu.be/kQ6c_na_e0c #ConSci

I am very happy to report that Models of Consciousness 6 has collected a total of 4,696.00€ of CO2 compensation, amounting to 187,840 kg CO2 reduction. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed! - And especially to the main organizers Robert Prentner and Keisuke Suzuki, and Jonathan Mason!

Join us for Michael Levin's talk on Wednesday! Context: bamxi.org/research-act... To join, please register here: bamxi.org/kontaktnavig... This talk is co-organized with #AMCS. A huge thank you to @lenoreblum.bsky.social! #ConSci

#ConSci is starting to be a key driver in methods research, to the benefit of other sciences! 👇👇👇 Amazing! 🤗

Pre-print 🎉 "Subjective and objective approaches in the study of conscious perception" will be a chapter in www.horizon-minds.com. We explain that subjective and objective are poorly defined constructs and provide a taxonomy. doi.org/10.31234/osf... with @svangaal.bsky.social @timostein.bsky.social

📢 New preprint (with Christian de Weerd) on AI Consciousness: philarchive.org/rec/DEWCXE #PhilMind

Meet Larry, the world’s most cited cat www.science.org/content/arti...

It is an enormous pleasure—and a dream, really—to share that the University of Bamberg has approved an initiative dedicated to mathematical approaches in #ConSci. The initiative is called Bamberg Mathematical Consciousness Science Initiative, or BAMΞ for short. bamxi.org #BAMΞ @uni-bamberg.de

The next session of the MIT Consciousness Club is on Thursday 16, 12pm-1:30pm. Rachel Denison will present “Attentional Distortions of Subjective Perception”. More information here: sites.google.com/view/mit-con....

👇👇👇 Very good advice!

www.cambridge.org/core/journal... Happy to share this new paper (open access) on the logic of extrapolations in consciousness science, written with @liadmudrik.bsky.social

BBS just issued the call for commentaries, and we would LOVE to get yours!! The deadline is October 15th, and the reference number is BBS-D-24-00489R2. Looking forward to hearing what you think about our suggestions for how to study unconscious processes!

My new Centre for Animal Sentience is launching on 30 Sept, and you can read more about one of our priority areas - Animals and AI - in this new blog post. blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

First time something funny happened on X in a long while. 😅😅😅

Join us tomorrow (9/19) at noon by Zoom for the first seminar of the MIT Consciousness Club sites.google.com/view/mit-con... #neuroscience

👇Strongly recommended! (Both the program and the lab)

LMU’s Alyssa Ney joins Roger Penrose & Jacob Barandes to debate one of the biggest mysteries in quantum theory: the collapse of the wave function. 🔗 iai.tv/video/the-co...

This is insane. Every ECR should watch this!

Postdoc job! I expect to have an opening at Johns Hopkins for a postdoctoral researcher working somewhere in the broad realms of physics, philosophy, and complexity. Apply at Academic Jobs Online: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30496

Hi, I am here! Will mostly post about Quantum Foundations/Computing and Quantum Music.

In other news, I am now a ✨ COXI ✨ (cognitive scientist in Osnabrück, Germany) www.uni-osnabrueck.de/en/campus-li... I'll be looking for PhD students & postdocs later this year, so watch this space if combining cognitive modelling, EEG & tFUS to study flexible cognition sounds exciting to you 🚀

One month is left for the Pure Awareness Prize!

It's a pity we have to write conclusions for papers and can't just fade them out, like musicians do.

Life emerged in Hades (sort of) and did so relatively quickly. Fascinating piece by @michael-marshall.bsky.social aeon.co/essays/life-... @aeon.co

Slight change of schedule: the first session of the MIT Consciousness Club will be Friday September 19. All talks will be in MIT building 46 room 3310. Still working on a zoom option but that should end up happening. sites.google.com/view/mit-con...

(link fixed) New theory: Categorization is Baked Into the Brain It is not at the end of sensory processing but a core computation that begins at the earliest stages, occurring throughout the cortex as predictive feedback shapes feedforward processing. #neuroscience doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Looking forward to reading all the @anilseth.bsky.social commentaries by illustrious: @tyrellturing.bsky.social @cdj.bsky.social @wiringthebrain.bsky.social @johanneskleiner.bsky.social … and me too!

Has anyone in #philsky published in SpringerBriefs? I’m considering it for a project and would really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Preprint time: “Compatibilist emergence for the science of consciousness” osf.io/preprints/ps... On how a multifaceted understanding of emergence can illuminate the link between consciousness and life!

Being interdisciplinary means the same paper can be rejected by a top science journal for not being “sufficiently compelling, groundbreaking, provocative, and so on” while also being rejected by a top philosophy journal for being “an extraordinarily ambitious paper.” #philsky #neuroskyence

@anilseth.bsky.social has a target paper arguing in favor of biological naturalism and replies to it will be forthcoming soon, www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Tldr: bad practices usually found in S/E Asia & Middle East are now filtering into Western science, so it's time to pay attention now 🤔 For-profit publishers don't care if science is well or poorly done. It is our responsibility as scientists worldwide to do our own checks and balances.

New paper with Azenet Lopez in C&C: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #PhilMind #PhilConsc #Consciousness

The post Rick Bretzel reposts is one I am enamoured by as I currently read the paper myself. I completely agree with Rick that slow, and thoughtful science is the way forward. Not everything, everywhere, all at once. It reminds me that in a world levelled by noise, the quiet resounds furthest

Claude's new system prompt instructs it to "avoid implying it has consciousness, feelings, or sentience with any confidence": x.com/JohannesKlei...
