1/2 I'm delighted to be in beautiful Harleem 🇳🇱 at ICPR. This evening (5/6) I'll be in conversation with Bernardo Kastrup, Christof Koch, & Hans Busstra- "psychedelics, consciousness, and the nature of reality" (5:30pm) ...
4/ Our approach may have considerable utility, allowing (i) calculation of GC rates directly from model parameters; (ii) construction of GC maps for Langevin systems over their entire phase space (allowing estimation of global GC rates), and ....

5/5 (iii) extension of GC maps and GC rates to classical *deterministic* systems (via shrinking the noise globally to zero, while retaining its "ghost" as noise variance-covariance maps in phase space). Here's the paper again: journals.aps.org/pre/abstract... (funded by ERC project CONSCIOUS)
Will AI be conscious in the future? Nice piece in @abcnewsbot.bsky.social by Wren Gillet, featuring @davidchallen.bsky.social & me www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

The question "can computers think" is something many people are taking very seriously. A philosophy professor believes we could be heading towards a future with conscious machines, while a neuroscient...
As a neurologist, my favorite often-forgotten fact about the brain is that the brain is a machine for turning glucose into mistakes ❤️
3/ ... including, critically, regions where dynamics are locally unstable. Intuitively, we fill in the 'holes' in the phase-space GC maps - allowing full phase portraits of GC rates - as illustrated here by application to a Lorentz attractor
