An Integrated Information Decomposition Account of Emergent Mental Phenomena
Offered By: Models of Consciousness Conferences via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore an innovative approach to consciousness science combining Integrated Information Theory and Partial Information Decomposition in this 19-minute conference talk. Delve into the concept of Integrated Information Decomposition (ΦID) and its formal argument relating consciousness and causal emergence. Discover how ΦID provides a principled answer to the relationship between consciousness and emergence, and learn about the revised measure of integrated information, ΦR. Examine the potential of a multi-dimensional description of information dynamics for comparing neural bases of different aspects of consciousness. Investigate the 'modes of consciousness' outlined by ΦID and their application to mapping the phenomenology of conscious states, with a focus on the concept of selfhood. Gain insights into new ways of exploring the relationship between information, consciousness, and emergence through a mathematically rigorous, empirically driven, and ontologically innocent approach.
