This event resolved a 1998 bet about the neural correlates of consciousness, and presented the first results of the @ArcCogitate adversarial collaboration testing two theories of consciousness, now published in @Nature at https://t.co/N43POvjZGV.

Beta desynchronization (in motor cortex) seems to be under power of will, to correlate with conscious readiness to do a task (such as exact moment to bungie-jump), and to correlate with going ahead and doing the task. But, ramping up readiness potential is not under power of will nor does it indicate conscious readiness.

@smfleming @davidchalmers42 @ASSC26nyc @OryanZacks @OryanZacks and @DariaZakharova9 both gave superb talks in an excellent concurrent session (which I chaired) on animal and infant consciousness. The reporter from the Economist sat in the front row and asked many questions. No one talked about IIT in that session as I recall.

machine learning pioneer #yoshuabengio sets out to "make a dent in the hard problem" of consciousness, in his keynote talk at @ASSC26nyc: "sources of richness and ineffability for phenomenally conscious states". https://t.co/bbScC9jJDk

[ASSC 26 @ASSC26nyc]

We've now posted a video of Yoshua Bengio's ASSC 26 keynote: “Sources of Richness and Ineffability for Phenomenally Conscious States”. Stay tuned as we post more of the conference videos!
