The text is clear that both theories make both testable and untestable predictions.

That's right, we made it clear in the acknowledgements that this isn't coming from Tononi et al.

Re: "one chance to come back with a reasonable reply", a completely separate reply (which we have nothing to do with) is being published soon in Nature Neuroscience. So, stay tuned.

Thanks, that's exactly our point.

In case you're not convinced that the original letter's arguments can be easily redirected to general relativity somethingitslike.substack.com/p/is-general...

Thanks Johannes. Indeed, we had a whole paragraph citing reasonable criticisms of IIT, including original criticisms which we wrote ourselves.

Nice! But where's Ceres? It didn't lose its asteroid status even when it got promoted to dwarf planet ;)

In that case, I really hope another Kuiper belt dwarf planet gets visited in my lifetime ...

Hello World!

We have now received 500 submissions to Imaging Neuroscience, with 50 of these already published.

You're crushing my dreams 😭 And this wouldn't work for a closer dwarf planet like Makemake either?

I'm very happy that my recent work with the fMEG group here in Tuebingen (and other international collaborators) on fetal consciousness was featured in Der Spiegel!

Thanks, is there any hope of collecting enough Eris data with JWST to eventually generate some surface maps like the Hubble ones of Pluto?

@plutokiller.com congrats on your new paper modeling the interior of Eris πŸ‘ I'm dying to know though, when is JWST going to image Eris?

Many drugs enhance delta EEG activity while preserving consciousness

DMT study w/EEG-fMRI found correlations bw frontal delta power and global fMRI connectivity

Tiagabine increases delta MEG power up to 1000%
