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 ...

On the axiomatic foundations of the integrated information theory of consciousness. [PDF]
Neurosci Conscious, 2018 The integrated information theory (IIT) is one of the most influential scientific theories of consciousness. It functions as a guiding framework for a great deal of research into the neural basis of consciousness and for attempts to develop a consciousness meter.

Evaluating Approximations and Heuristic Measures of Integrated Information
Entropy, 2019 Integrated information theory (IIT) proposes a measure of integrated information, termed Phi (Φ), to capture the level of consciousness of a physical system in a given state.

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 ...

Restructuring Consciousness –the Psychedelic State in Light of Integrated Information Theory [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 The psychological state elicited by the classic psychedelics drugs, such as LSD and psilocybin, is one of the most fascinating and yet least understood states of consciousness.

Conscious Causality, Observer-Observed Simultaneity, and the Problem of Time for Integrated Information Theory. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel)Without proven causal power, consciousness cannot be integrated with physics except as an epiphenomenon, hence the term ‘hard problem’. Integrated Information Theory (IIT) side-steps the issue by stating that subjective experience must be ...

Quantum Superpositions of Conscious States in a Minimal Integrated Information Model [PDF]
EntropyCould there be quantum superpositions of conscious states, as suggested by the Wigner’s friend thought experiment? Mathematical theories of consciousness, notably integrated information theory (IIT), make this question more precise by associating ...

The Integrated Information Theory of Consciousness as Pseudoscience
, 2023 The media, including news articles in both Nature and Science, have recently celebrated the Integrated Information Theory (IIT) as a ‘leading’ and empirically tested theory of consciousness. We are writing as researchers with some relevant expertise to express our concerns.

Integrated information and its application for analysis of brain neuron activity [PDF]
Известия высших учебных заведений: Прикладная нелинейная динамика, 2023 Purpose of this review is to consider the possibility to apply the integrated information theory to investigate the brain neural activity. Earlier was shown that the integrated information amount Ф quantifies a degree of a dynamic complexity of a system ...

Scaling Behaviour and Critical Phase Transitions in Integrated Information Theory [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2019 Integrated Information Theory proposes a measure of conscious activity (Phi), characterised as the irreducibility of a dynamical system to the sum of its components. Due to its computational cost, current versions of the theory (IIT 3.0) are difficult to
