I'll be talking on Tuesday about how animals experience time as part of our Bochum-LSE Animal Minds workshop - and free online attendance is possible! 🦜🐝🕷️🐒 Details here: animal-cognition.philosophy-cognition.com

In case you're interested in foundations of measurement in #ConSci, you're cordially invited to join our upcoming workshop! sh1.sendinblue.com/3hbk0uthapxp... A huge thank you to my co-organizers @ronyhirsch.bsky.social and @jolienfrancken.bsky.social on this occasion! #ConSci

Good take on the "Moltbook" story from @benjedwards.com arstechnica.com/information-... Another good take I saw on the other site: "more of a fanfic for AGI than actual AGI". This could describe a whole lot of AI misalignment red-teaming....

My Centre is a unique place to do a PhD in Philosophy, because you can be in constant contact with experts in veterinary medicine, psychology, zoology and policy and be part of a team united by a shared interest in animal minds. We now have our 1st ever PhD scholarship: www.lse.ac.uk/sentience/phd

Across domains, existing evidence is suggestive but often indirect. We identify clear, testable predictions that can distinguish active inference from competing theories. Advancing the field requires theory driven experiments targeting these contrasts. Our review offers important handles.

Philosopher, linguist, and AI scientist @epiphenomenal.bsky.social blew my mind chatting about the TNG episode "Darmok" on this recent episode of Strange New Worlds: A Science & Star Trek Podcast! soundcloud.com/strange-new-...

One perspective in light of this is to call out *contrastive analysis* as the culprit, which uses statistics from the 60s made for other purposes. Why don't we develop mathematical analysis techniques designed for the very questions we're after? E.g.: bsky.app/profile/joha... #consci

This debate shows how fragile contrastive analysis (the statistics of comparing conscious with unconscious perception) really is. A possible response is to use an alternative statistical procedure to find NCCs/C-functions. I have developed such a procedure here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

I very much enjoyed, and was shocked by, this wonderful video today. Brutally honest account of academia as a job, among other things. youtu.be/ySVTrIq_O5g

This is all of us! Thank you for sharing @singhal.bsky.social! So courageous!

Walk today.

Heidegger dedicated _Being and Time_ to Husserl “in friendship and admiration” and presented Husserl with a bound copy around the time of his 68th birthday. As Husserl read the book he became increasingly aware of the distance between them. 1/3

Finally published: “Your brain on nature: A scoping review of the neuroscience of nature exposure” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... A synthesis of multiple EEG, fMRI, and fNIRS studies to map the mechanisms behind the restoring effects of nature on the brain 🧠🌱

On the occasion of Mazviita Chirimuuta's new "Why are we still suffering from the blind spot?" 👇, here is @adamfrank4.bsky.social's talk "Beyond The Blind Spot" from two weeks ago! youtu.be/agiytWBss-s

Super interesting take on reports/subjective measures of C by @matthiasmichel.bsky.social in his review of Maja Spener's book! Another pointer that reports/measures of C cannot be independent from theories of C? (That's also what Erik and I found in our work on falsification/unfolding.)

It's wonderful to see @onemorebrown.bsky.social and Barbara Montero touch on the pervasive closure/supervenience paradigm in #ConSci! Upshot: It's not needed for physicalism! - And, I would add, the source of major problems in contemporary theory building in #ConSci, such as unfolding/substituion.

Really enjoyed speaking at BAMΞ's Paradigms in Consciousness Science Workshop! Thanks to the organizers Lara Bräuchle @johanneskleiner.bsky.social @cam-signorelli.bsky.social for putting together such a great event 🤩 www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmdX...

In the spirit of winter holidays, the deadline has been extended to 28th December! Last chance to apply to join the Consciousness Cabin workshop .. #consci #neuroskyence #visionresearch #philsky

The prospect of artificial consciousness might be both over- and underrated 🤔

Interesting discussion! 👇🏽

Happy to see this preprinted! We show temporally fine-grained auditory representations in EEG during silent reading. Could be a candidate neural substrate for the inner voice many people report having while reading! Congrats @jiaweili.bsky.social on all the hard work.

My 4-year-old son just explained my job better than I ever could: “You work on what the heart can see” 🤍 . . And somehow, this says it all. . . #neardeathexperience #nde #research #science

new commentary on embodiment in information systems with Tom Froese! we discuss Pitti et al.'s framework to formalise the embodied mind with information theory and sketch a way to cover the complementary perspective of the lived body and subjective experience as well

The Science of Consciousness Beyond Neuroscience osf.io/bhj9t_v1 What do you think about it? That's the paradox make sense? Does the solution make sense? Abrazos,

My first podcast experience! 😅 Feedback welcome! :-) youtu.be/p9_i3gSMGhY

Join us for an exciting workshop on the 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 this week! Dec 10-12, Hybrid Format www.uni-bamberg.de/en/bamxi/res... A huge thank you to all of our wonderful speakers! 🙏 👇 #ConSci

I mean we are absolutely in a place now where the only solution to this information disorder is for everyone to constantly evaluate the source of information. Never trust a chatbot, but also don't believe a video unless you know and trust where it comes from. Unfortunately... that's a lot of work.

🥁Thrilled to announce that Prof. Anil Seth will chair the MESEC Winter School 2026 in Turkey🥁 @anilseth.bsky.social One unforgettable week exploring consciousness with one of the most pioneering thinkers in the field 🌟🧠 🎓 Applications open soon — stay tuned! 👀 🔗 mesec.co/event/winter...

It's a real honour to be chairing next year's @mesec-community.bsky.social winter school on consciousness science, March 22-28👇🏽

This place isn't working any more, is it? Where did everyone go?

Thanks @johanneskleiner.bsky.social and Andrew Lee for organizing "Mathematical Phenomenology: Synergies and Connections Workshop". It's a zoom event. Though I want to discuss matters with the speakers, time differences make it difficult for me to join others'.... uni-bamberg.de/en/bamxi/res...

A talk I gave on mathematical phenomenology last week is now up on youtube. Topics include whether phenomenology can be "mathematized", Husserl's time diagrams, and efforts to formalize the horizon structure. youtu.be/ITMLgz7OLrA

First talks from our Mathematical Phenomenology Sprint are being shipped. 🤗 youtube.com/@mcs_lectures Huge thank you to all speakers! #ConSci

Join us Thursday Nov. 20 at 12pm (EST), Earl Miller will present at the MIT Consciousness Club: "Consciousness emerges from neural dynamics". Details available on the MIT Consciousness Club website: sites.google.com/view/mit-con....

Wow

Delighted to be talking about mathematical phenomenology next week on zoom. It will be a fairly high level overview, and I'll be sandwiched between a whole bunch of other exciting talks on the same topic. Thanks for organizing @johanneskleiner.bsky.social !

Another gem of next week's workshop, by @jyoshimi.bsky.social. Can't wait for this talk! 🤗 👉 www.uni-bamberg.de/en/bamxi/res... #ConSci
