A third way between computational functionalism and biological naturalism? @neuromorphicboki.bsky.social & @jaanaru.bsky.social think so 👇
New open-access paper out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences:
Explanation, scope, and perspective: sources of schismogenesis in consciousness science
Francesco Ellia & Naotsugu Tsuchiya
A thread 1/n🧵

Wholehearted recommendation to listen to @jaanaru.bsky.social on @braininspired.bsky.social !
So much in there about neurobiological theories of consciousness but also about academic freedom and diversity!
🧠🌍🌎🌏🧠
Another nail in the coffin of computational functionalism. Excellent paper by @neuromorphicboki.bsky.social and @jaanaru.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
In the latest @braininspired.bsky.social, @jaanaru.bsky.social argues that our brain’s computations are of a different nature than any AI; brains compute across spatial and temporal scales, and the computations are entwined with the biological materials.

"The Self-Evidencing Agent" - my new book - is out now with @mitpress.bsky.social
Can be purchased, or just download the whole thing for free, via the 'Open Access' option.
I'm grateful to @anilseth.bsky.social and Karl Friston for the generous endorsements.

The prospect of artificial consciousness might be both over- and underrated 🤔
Did someone want systematic reviews of the effects of psychedelics?
We have two:
A review of electrophysiology, out now in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral reviews www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
And a review of cognitive effects in J of Psychopharmacology journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
There is a lot of talk about LLMs revolutionizing education. But once you get into it, things are not that trivial.
Here, we summarize the questions that emerge when trying to implement AI Tutors nationwide.

Under challenging conditions, human vision turns into iterative problem solving. Typical deep learning algorithms don't do this.

🎊📜 NEW PAPER 📜🎊
Can we seriously build synthetic consciousness?
And if so, where do we start?
I’m super excited to present recent publication in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews where @jaanaru.bsky.social and I confront this challenge head on.
