Why you need your whole body – from head to toes – to think | Aeon Essays
Contemplating the world requires a body, and a body requires an immune system: the rungs of life create the stuff of thought
About cognition being much more than neural activity. And the role of the immune system as a sense of self. (Resonates with much of my own thinking in Een wereld vol denkers.) By @annaciaunica.bsky.social in @aeon.co aeon.co/essays/why-y... #psychology #filosofie #neuroscience

Winkeldraadje van Het Wonderkabinet. Wat heb ik dit najaar te koop? Ik post alles hieronder zolang de webshop nog niet staat. Niet alles is op voorraad maar het meeste kan in opdracht (zolang de voorraad strekt en ik nog tijd heb). Graag een DM als je iets ziet en repost is lief!

The latest version of Sigmund, the #AI #research assistant, is able to fully control the #OpenSesame interface. This allows you to build #psychology experiments entirely through conversation. This is no AI slop, but real functionality with real benefits! Tutorial 👉 osdoc.cogsci.nl/4.1/tutorial...

Neurowetenschapper Sebastiaan Mathôt: ‘Ook een boterbloem kan denken’
Kunnen dieren en planten denken? Jazeker, zegt neurowetenschapper Sebastiaan Mathôt. ‘De mens is niet de enige denker in de wereld.’
Denken is geen alles-of-nietskwestie, benadrukt cognitief neurowetenschapper Sebastiaan Mathôt. Dieren en planten doen het ook; bescheiden, of flexibeler. 'Intelligentie kun je niet in een paar woorden uitputtend definiëren. Het is een omschrijving van gedrag.’ www.filosofie.nl/neurowetensc...

Most of you know @suryagayet.bsky.social as a successful visual-attention researcher. But he also had an active #music career as a #rap artist. And like Jay-Z before him, he has briefly come out of retirement with a new album. Check it out—it's very good! 🎤🎶 open.spotify.com/album/7HrnAB...

Do you see them as conceptually different? In other words: do you think there's a categorical difference between exactly 0 sentience and >0 sentience?

(...) they have the same moral status as humans. But if it so happens to that ants are not sentient, then they have no moral status at all. Doesn't it make more sense to see sentience as a continuum itself? Like so: "An ant is certainly sentient, but only about 1/10th as much as a human."

I was just reading this. What struck me as odd was the use of probabilities along the lines of "an ant may have a 9% chance of being a sentient being". This seems to imply that you view sentience as all or nothing: if it so happens that ants are sentient, then (...)

Oil painting of bumble bees and sunflowers with electromagnetics at play.
My painting, Electrical Fields, is up for auction at the Bemis Center in Omaha tonight. Are you curious about my inspiration? Read more in the comments :)

Exactly 👍 Many people in our field seem to (mistakenly) believe that downplaying the importance of AI amounts to a kind of intellectual and moral superiority. Very bothersome.

All of this sounds reasonable to me, except the lower limit. That's exactly the kind of artificial boundary that I meant, if only because there is no clear distinction between living and non-living things!

To me, panpsychism seems like a kind of null hypothesis. And however unappealing (and ridiculous) it may be, there's just no evidence to reject it. Doing so would require placing some artificial and unscientific boundary between things that are conscious and things that are not.

Heymans is an #AI tool for #education to (among other things) grade open-ended exams. It also gives feedback on the quality of the exam, which lecturers can use to improve things. When used well, I believe the resulting quality of examination is exceptionally high. 💪
