A pleasure to talk in the Asia Pacific Consciousness Network seminar today! In case anyone else is interested in this topic, there is a recording (15 mins) on Youtube: youtu.be/WQCJ6SLSXvQ?t=… Many thanks to Nao Tsuchiya, Hayato Saigo and Ariel Zeleznikow-Johnston!

Alex Maier 's SfN talk. Available on youtube now! A first step towards applying IIT 3.0+relations computation on the neural recordings (from monkey laminar recordings) youtu.be/kCSEK7BgTwU via YouTube

Using the concept of "relations" from the upcoming update of Integrated Information Theory (IIT 4.0) to assess causal interactions of neurons across cortical layers: abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/10485/p…

Nao Tsuchiya: Using concepts in category theory to address the central issues in consciousness science youtu.be/xi00i-4KnhI via YouTube it's still a preliminary idea, which we are writing it up as a paper now. hopefully it's useful to some people... Alex Maier

Beth Fisher's work on Quantum Perception marks a paradigm shift. For decades, vision scientists believed perception to follow a Euclidian (3D) "color space". Beth shows that it takes equations from quantum physics to describe the actual color space: youtube.com/watch?v=AJoa6p…

Why is it that color perception is best described using equations from quantum physics? One idea is that the math is broader (using non-commuting operators) and thus more precise. More "out there", IIT also provides a possible link: youtu.be/xL9iWryKC8o?t=…

Science is becoming more open and accessible. Here is our contribution on the #neuroscience of #consciousness with Computer Scientist/Philosopher Rodrigo Coin Curvo to this year's Summer of #Math Exposition by #3Blue1Brown: youtube.com/watch?v=Sp9B7r…
