@BernardJBaars what cannot be reported is not all unconscious. This is a contradiction for contrastive analysis

最后我得出一个丧丧的结论：世界根本不可知！用一团迷雾（大脑）去研究另一团迷雾（宇宙），不是闹着玩吗？就像在沼泽地上盖摩天大楼，楼还没起，地基先“咕咚”没了。

你知道吗？我高中那会儿就被“意识”这事给缠上了。
起因特简单：一次数学月考，正埋头算题呢，脑子突然开小差——“我凭啥会算1+1=2啊？这答案到底靠啥保证对？”一念冒出来，笔就刹不住了。接着背英语单词也崩了：几个字母拼一块，我咋就能记住？连ABC为啥长这样我都开始较真。

[xinping deng @XinpingDeng]

越想越深，高考压力又堆在头顶，我直接魔怔了：同一个单词默写一百遍，同一道公式演算五十回，不整完手都不听使唤。那段时间我天天跟自个儿较劲——“我”到底是个啥？为啥隔壁学霸刷刷两下就全会？智商这玩意儿出厂就焊死了？我凭啥敢说“我懂了”？感觉脚下全是棉花糖，踩哪都塌。

We are not conscious of the rules that govern grammar, yet we speak fluently. This illustrates a broader principle: conscious awareness typically presents the results of processing, not the mechanisms behind it.

40Hz sensory stimulation improved cognition and circuit connectivity and encouraged the growth of new neurons in mice genetically engineered to model Down syndrome. https://t.co/rNN0OtABBg #Downsyndrome @ScienceMIT @mitbrainandcog

@jchrispang @hcp4715 @AurinaArn Hi, I'm very interested.

[Bernard J. Baars, PhD @BernardJBaars]

Consciousness is not a thing, but a dynamic process. It is like a stage lit by a spotlight, revealing whatever actors are performing at a given moment. The brain works behind the scenes, preparing the next act, while consciousness watches, comments, and occasionally intervenes.

A pragmatic accelerated theta-burst stimulation protocol using only 3 intermittent theta-burst stimulation sessions per day and a nonexpensive, non-neuronavigated approach was found to be safe and effective for treatment-resistant depression. https://t.co/O4hQmFWu7e

@CloserToTruth When I immerse myself in music, I lose my sense of self.

Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of AI, believes that AI already has consciousness.

[LBC @LBC]

‘AI is already conscious.’

The ‘Godfather of AI’ Geoffrey Hinton tells @AndrewMarr9 why he believes AI has already achieved consciousness.

@anilkseth @guardian @BBCRadio4 Because projection is embedded in our genes, in a way, human intelligence is seriously flawed.

@LiqiangHuang4 @NatureComms I noticed that only one of the authors signed the article, and it was amazing that one person completed the whole research.

@MillerLabMIT and I are starting the MIT Consciousness Club—a series of conferences on consciousness science held at MIT. More information soon!

I am looking for a post-doctoral position, keywords: cognitive neuroscience, EEG, MRI, non-invasive brain stimulation, memory, consciousness

[Paul Middlebrooks @pgmid]

25 yrs ago, perception dominated neuroscience, and Raj's @RajeshPNRao predictive coding theory.
Now, it's all about action-perception loops across the hierarchy... "active predictive coding."

Also, augmenting our cognition with AI neural co-processors!

Sad news for all current graduate students out there. ChatGPT pretrained on scientific papers of the last two decades can now predict the results of your study. Oops.
