An integration of Integrated Information Theory with fundamental physics [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 To truly eliminate Cartesian ghosts from the science of consciousness, we must describe consciousness as an aspect of the physical. Integrated Information Theory states that consciousness arises from intrinsic information generated by dynamical systems ...

Integrated Information Theory and Isomorphic Feed-Forward Philosophical Zombies [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 Any theory amenable to scientific inquiry must have testable consequences. This minimal criterion is uniquely challenging for the study of consciousness, as we do not know if it is possible to confirm via observation from the outside whether or not a ...

Integrated Information Theory and the Phenomenal Binding Problem: Challenges and Solutions in a Dynamic Framework [PDF]
EntropyTheories of consciousness grounded in neuroscience must explain the phenomenal binding problem, e.g., how micro-units of information are combined to create the macro-scale conscious experience common to human phenomenology.

Two Levels of Integrated Information Theory: From Autonomous Systems to Conscious Life [PDF]
EntropyIntegrated Information Theory (IIT) is one of the most prominent candidates for a theory of consciousness, although it has received much criticism for trying to live up to expectations.

The Problem with Phi: A Critique of Integrated Information Theory. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Summary In the last decade, Guilio Tononi has developed the Integrated Information Theory (IIT) of consciousness. IIT postulates that consciousness is equal to integrated information (F). The goal of this paper is to show that IIT fails in its stated goal of quantifying consciousness.

Measuring Integrated Information: Comparison of Candidate Measures in Theory and Simulation [PDF]
Entropy, 2018 Integrated Information Theory (IIT) is a prominent theory of consciousness that has at its centre measures that quantify the extent to which a system generates more information than the sum of its parts.

Entropic Integrated Information Theory-Theory of Consciousness
, 2020 In this paper I am going to give a mathematical theory of Integrated Information Theory, using entropy as measure of information and hence, as the information distance function. Also, we will consider a set, whose open subsets are mechanisms and topology is the system, we use these two modification in the structure of Integrated Information Theory [2 ...

Integrated information theory reveals the potential role of the posterior parietal cortex in sustaining conditioning responses in classical conditioning tasks [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceClassical conditioning is a fundamental associative learning process in which repeated pairings of a conditioned stimulus (CS) with an unconditioned stimulus (US) lead to the CS eliciting a conditioned response (CR).

Toward stressor-free stress estimation: The integrated information theory explains the information dynamics of stress [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Recent neurological studies have revealed several detailed stress mechanisms. However, the latent variables behind stress study still interpret stress responses as difficult.

Finding continuity and discontinuity in fish schools via integrated information theory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Collective behaviours are known to be the result of diverse dynamics and are sometimes likened to living systems. Although many studies have revealed the dynamics of various collective behaviours, their main focus has been on the information processing ...
