10 Mar. 2025 – New paper: Consciousness or Pseudo-Consciousness?
Check out the new paper responding to the "IIT is pseudoscience" letter:
Abstract:
"Integrated information theory (IIT) starts from consciousness, which is subjective, and accounts for its presence and quality in objective, testable terms. Attempts to label as ‘pseudoscientific’ a theory distinguished by decades of conceptual, mathematical, and empirical developments expose a crisis in the dominant computational-functionalist paradigm, which is challenged by IIT’s consciousness-first paradigm."
