aww what an honor!

Testing circuit-level theories of consciousness in humans Our understanding of the neural basis of consciousness is mostly restricted to large-scale brain activity patterns as measured by methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magneto/electro-encephalography (M/EEG). In contrast, we lack even basic understanding of circuit-level mechanisms supporting consciousness – particularly in humans – despite the fundamental role that such mechanisms likely play in instantiating larger-scale brain activity patterns supporting conscious states and contents. Here, we review what progress has been made on circuit-level theories of consciousness (e.g., apical amplification theory, dendritic integration theory) and argue that such theories can be tested in humans using recently developed, state-of-the-art methods. Doing so will further facilitate translation of consciousness science into clinical settings and strengthen the bridge between circuit- and network-level theories of consciousness.

please elaborate on the role switch 😂

after the mixed bag of talks at ASSC I can't wait to read a proper review of INTREPID!

I see your point, but it implicitly refers to all aspects being discussed in consciousness science atm (eg Butlin et al 2023)

then please enlighten me why the sentence is wrong by definition

you can't prove causality in a causally-closed universe

thanks its what we philosophers call a strawman argument!

Thanks for the great discussion on studies of consciousness during EPSA25 at @rug.nl! Had a blast in this gorgeous building and seeing all these diverse approaches to philosophy of science.

anyone interested in a consciousness lunch discussion at EPSA25? I would like to organise a little get together for philosophers interested in phil of mind, phil of neuroscience, consciousness...

definitely agree that koch and the NCC people jumped on a highly productive trend in philosophy of that time. studies is more inclusive but i guess science gets more funding...

yeah thats how we used it in our map of consciousness science, but some philosophers & psychologists pointed out that they don't feel included

i agree, but coming from physics I had the feeling a small subset of physicists is well aware of that lack (especially in quantum physics)

yeah I got that term from you actually!

why do you prefer science?

looking at the recent ASSC and similar conferences I doubt that they can do without philosophy and the mind sciences

will use that from now on!

do you have an idea why studies and not science?

Since its such a young field I am still not sure how to call it. Consciousness Science? Consciousness Studies? Consciousness Research? Neuroscience of Consciousness?

Looking for ways to better understand different neuroscientific perspectives and enable productive collaborations

amazing, i would love to discuss these ideas with you and your lab! will write you!

thank you! If you want to I can send the slides, but if you are up for it we could also discuss our ideas together with niccolo

moritz kriegleder presenting a slide on the current state of consciousness science

finally recovered from all the thought provoking discussions I had at @assc28.bsky.social! presented a meta analysis of the current state of consciousness science and why we should leave theory convergence behind (based on work with @mnoichl.bsky.social & @niccolonegro.bsky.social)

i doubt that my grandma knew anything about the psychological literature on ego depletion, but she intuitively understood that I will have a second piece of cake if she asked often enough
