we (@MaxNoichl and I) made an interactive map of consciousness science presented at @moc5conference

Our conference starts next Monday!
Thank you for your contributions of 200+ amazing talks and posters. Fitting such diverse, high-quality research into one week took some effort, but the full schedule and conference booklet are now live on our website

How can we test for consciousness in infants, non-human animals, and AI?
I'm super happy that the recordings of our last workshop on exactly this question are now online!

Its a pleasure to contribute in making this Models of Consciousness conference the biggest edition yet!
Let us introduce ourselves! Wanja Wiese, Jonathan Mason, and @mokriegleder make up the Communication Team behind this year's Models of Consciousness conference.
By managing the website, social media, emails, and much more, we ensure that #MoC7 will be a success!
How to write a philosophy of neuroscience paper:
1. choose a narrow neuroscience definition
2. argue why the concept is much more complex
3. profit

Due to many requests, we have decided to extend the abstract submission deadline for #MoC7 to July 5th!
This is shaping up to be our biggest conference yet, so submit your work and join us this year in Copenhagen.

Last chance to submit your talk abstract for the Models of Consciousness conference #MoC7!
The application deadline is tomorrow, June 16th. Don't miss the opportunity to share your research exploring mathematical, philosophical, and formal approaches to consciousness.
Really looking forward to discussing the future of consciousness science with Evan Thompson!
Mind in Life was one of the first books I read on the topic and it has influenced me a lot during studying cognitive science.
It's our pleasure to have Evan Thompson as a keynote speaker for #MoC7 at @uni_copenhagen!
Evan is a renowned philosopher and phenomenologist and his talk will explore the intersections of philosophy and neuroscience, promising to inspire crucial methodological discussions.

loved the perspective in the review paper, but materialism is not only neuro-computationalism. an embodied materialism asks what happens to the whole organism and not just the brain.
"If consciousness can survive brain death, then materialism dies." -- my new piece in Nature (reviewing "The brain, in theory"): nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
"The dualism between a first-person description of experience and a third-person (or scientific) account of the same is a normal perspectival difference: the same brain phenomenon as experienced by that same brain itself, or by another." @carlorovelli

Terrific line-up for this year's Models of Consciousness conference, organised by Camillo Signorelli and taking place in the beautiful city of Copenhagen amcs-community.org/events/mo…
Get ready for a great lineup of keynote speakers!
We are excited that @meganakpeters is our next keynote speaker at the 7th Models of Consciousness Conference #MoC7!
She investigates the mechanisms behind metacognition and perceptual decision-making, shedding light on their links with conscious experience and AI consciousness.

I'm thrilled to announce more invited speakers for #ECogS 2026! 🎉
New keynote by ALife and robotics legend Luc Steels, plus two special book panels on embodied and artificial intelligence, led by Sheila McRine and Rob Clowes.
Submit your abstracts and let's push the frontiers of embodied cognition!

About $660bn is going into AI R&D this year but none of it, to my knowledge, is going into developing better tests for consciousness, even though everyone seems to agree that growing uncertainty over the issue will lead to ethical and political battles and major social divisions.
was sitting in Ivette's quantum information class as an undergrad and she sometimes discussed ethical research as well. glad to see a good role model saying no to Epstein from the start!
Physicist Ivette Fuentes was one of those who said no, as per a report from 2017 (link below):
"Fuentes says, she and Penrose had a conversation. "Would I be interested in receiving funding from a wealthy man who had also been convicted of a sex offense?" Fuentes recalls Penrose asking her.
Fuentes immediately said no, citing ethical objections, and quickly forgot about the conversation. But 2 months ago, after reading that Epstein had been arrested, she called Penrose. "Was it Epstein?" she asked him. "And he said, ‘Yes, I think it was.' And I said, ‘Oh God.'"
....
"The dream of my life is to build a gravitational-wave detector, and have it work," she says. "So, if someone were to say to me, ‘I'll give you the money to make your dream come true,' it would be very tempting to say yes."
"But then you have your ethical standards. Even if you lose some opportunities, [saying no] is the right thing to do. … What Epstein has taught me is how important it is to do that."
