OMG this is a great idea.

listen to anil!

Organizing a conference of this scale takes many motivated people! Meet the team making it happen: local organizers @cam-signorelli.bsky.social and Emanuela Yeung have worked tirelessly to bring #MoC7 to the University of Copenhagen! Stay tuned as we introduce more of the crew behind the scenes.

Terrific line-up for this year's Models of Consciousness conference, organised by Camillo Signorelli and taking place in the beautiful city of Copenhagen amcs-community.org/events/moc7-...

Next, we are happy to announce that @laurennross.bsky.social will give a keynote at #MoC7! Prof. Ross uses philosophy of science to examine neuroscientific explanation and causation, sparking a wider debate on mechanistic, law-based, and mathematical models in neuroscience.

It's why I always give at least 5 out of 6 when i review grants in my field* - get the money and we might collaborate, or i will at least learn something, or our field will progress. * i've only done a few

Great talk by Alexander Maier last week on the use of numbers in consciousness science. Very much recommended! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQQr... #ConSci

New preprint! with @niccolonegro.bsky.social and @liadmudrik.bsky.social doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/ve6c5_v1 Consciousness seems central to moral status debates, from AI to animal welfare. But is consciousness necessary for moral status? Is it sufficient? We surveyed >1000 people to find out. 🧵 1/n

Thank you @smfleming.bsky.social ! Super excited about this! ✨ Join Consciousness Club this Wednesday to talk about consciousness, moral status, zombies, pets, LLMs, and more 🖖

I'm very much looking forward to our "New Ideas in NCC Research" workshop next week, co-organised with Antje Peters, @alexlepauvre.bsky.social, and @sfink.bsky.social. It's a hybrid event — you're cordially invited to join us! 👉 Website/Schedule/Registration: www.uni-bamberg.de/en/bamxi/res...

The #MoC7 is made possible thanks to the support of the Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science! Special thanks to our president @lenoreblum.bsky.social, chairman @johanneskleiner.bsky.social, vice-chairman Jonathan Mason and treasurer Robin Lorenz. join mailing list: amcs-community.org

🚨🚨JOB ALERT🚨🚨 I'm hiring a cogsci/philosophy/compneuro postdoc at @ucl.ac.uk @uclbrainscience.bsky.social @uclpals.bsky.social! www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DRH486/p... Come to London & work on frameworks for "testing" for consciousness using Bayesian belief updating & latent variable modeling. Pls share!

Our next announcement is very exciting for us: Nobel Prize winner John O’Keefe will give a keynote at #MoC7! O’Keefe’s groundbreaking research identified neural mechanisms for spatial navigation by discovering place and border cells in the hippocampus.

🎉 📜 NEW #PREPRINT !! 📜 🎉 Spearheaded by Adam Barrett we tried to tackle some of the challenges of IIT. We confront aspects worth delving into, with an incredible team of collaborators, inc. Pedro Mediano, @frosas.bsky.social, Daniel Bor, Lionel Barnett, and @anilseth.bsky.social.

Hello dreamers, I would like to crowdsource how we test for consciousness(?) Do you know of any papers exploring these topics. Feel free to link anything, even if you think I'm aware of the paper (i.e., Bayne et al.'s paper, etc.). #consciousness #neuroscience #sentience

The hardest part of science is posing the right question, not answering it.

This year #MoC7 will feature an immersive experience at the world-renowned Louisiana Museum of Modern Art! This excursion is designed to stimulate innovative research into subjective experience through creative exploration and to open up new spaces for discussion #consci

Awesome workshop on neural correlates of consciousness! Join, in person or online: www.uni-bamberg.de/en/bamxi/res...

After one week at the Computational Neurophenomenology Cabin Workshop, I can say it was one of the most inspiring experience of my PhD journey - both for the quality of the work & discussions, and for the amazing people I got to meet there. 🏔️ Would 100% recommend it- huge thanks to the organisers. 🤩

👇 A wonderful initiative!

We are excited that @meganakpeters.bsky.social is our next keynote speaker at the 7th Models of Consciousness Conference #MoC7! She investigates the mechanisms behind metacognition and perceptual decision-making, shedding light on their links with conscious experience and AI consciousness.

We have an exciting series of talks coming up this semester. Starting on April 22nd, Wednesday's 6pm Berlin time! Join us in going back to mental representations!

We are thrilled to announce that @liadmudrik.bsky.social will be one of our keynote speakers at #MoC7! Join us in Copenhagen to hear her latest insights and connect with the consciousness research community! Dates: October 12–16, 2026 Location: University of Copenhagen

Happy to share our preprint mapping the structure of theories of consciousness and their predictions, with @edenelbaz.bsky.social, @shaifischer.bsky.social, @maorschreiber.bsky.social, and @liadmudrik.bsky.social. Accessible here: osf.io/preprints/ps... Supplementary: osf.io/9xug8/overview

I am extremely proud of what Camilo, Moritz, and the whole team have put together for this year's Models of Consciousness #MoC7. Stellar choice of topics and speakers, and an amazing social programme aimed at true exchange among participants. Come join us! #ConSci Talk application is now open.

#MoC7 will take place in Copenhagen, the most liveable city in the world! 👇

This will be top! C'est top! You should definitely apply to give a kick ass talk, hang out with fellow mathy nerds, and chat cool stuff. #MoC7 #AMCS #slay

Our fantastic podcast conversation with the inimitable philosopher and physicist Michel Bitbol has just dropped. Check it out for a wide ranging discussion of physics, reality, and consciousness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z0N...

Wow! youtube.com/shorts/w7eL5...

I gave talk about subjective and objective approaches in the study of conscious perception last week in a BAMΞ workshop @uni-bamberg.de hosted by @johanneskleiner.bsky.social @jolienfrancken.bsky.social and @ronyhirsch.bsky.social. You can find the recording here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1zB...

GOD YES. It should be a constructive process. It should be about offering suggestions to improve the paper, not pointing out minor flaws or telling the authors that you would have done it differently.

Peer review would be easier if we stopped treating it like combat with the authors. Results want to be free, and perfect is the enemy of good. Do the data support the conclusions? If so, that’s enough. A paper isn’t a blank slate for projecting your own ideas.

It's a great pleasure to announce a second workshop on questions of measurement! While our first workshop was dedicated to questions of measurement in #ConSci, this workshop focuses on the foundations of measurement across the sciences.

I'm very excited about the schedule of next week's workshop! 👇 Come join us via Zoom, in case of interest! #ConSci

We should all make a slide like this.

Just downloaded. Looks interesting. Will check out.

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.
