An information integration theory of consciousness [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2004 Abstract Background Consciousness poses two main problems. The first is understanding the conditions that determine to what extent a system has conscious experience. For instance, why is our consciousness generated by certain parts of our brain, such as the thalamocortical system, and not by other parts ...

Computing the Integrated Information of a Quantum Mechanism
, 2023 Originally conceived as a theory of consciousness, integrated information theory (IIT) provides a theoretical framework intended to characterize the compositional causal information that a system, in its current state, specifies about itself. However, it

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2022 Background: The goal of the brain is to provide right on time a suitable earlier-acquired model for the future behavior. How a complex structure of neuronal activity underlying a suitable model is selected or fixated is not well understood.

Contextuality in the Integrated Information Theory [PDF]
, 2017 Integrated Information Theory (IIT) is one of the most influential theories of consciousness, mainly due to its claim of mathematically formalizing consciousness in a measurable way. However, the theory, as it is formulated, does not account for contextual observations that are crucial for understanding consciousness.

Integrated information theory in complex neural systems [PDF]
, 2022 This thesis concerns Integrated Information Theory (IIT), a branch of information theory aimed at providing a fundamental theory of consciousness. At its core, lie two powerful intuitions: • That a system that is somehow more than the sum of its parts

Whole-Brain Models to Explore Altered States of Consciousness from the Bottom Up
Brain Sciences, 2020 The scope of human consciousness includes states departing from what most of us experience as ordinary wakefulness. These altered states of consciousness constitute a prime opportunity to study how global changes in brain activity relate to different ...

Information Structure: Towards an integrated formal theory of pragmatics
Semantics and Pragmatics, 2012 A framework for pragmatic analysis is proposed which treats discourse as a game, with context as a scoreboard organized around the questions under discussion by the interlocutors.

What Is Consciousness? Integrated Information vs. Inference
, 2021 Any successful naturalistic account of consciousness must state what consciousness is, in terms that are compatible with the rest of our naturalistic descriptions of the world. Integrated Information Theory represents a pioneering attempt to do just this.

The Informational Mind and the Information Integration Theory of Consciousness [PDF]
International Journal of Machine Consciousness, 2014 According to Aleksander and Morton’s informational mind hypothesis, conscious minds are state structures that are created through iconic learning. Distributed representations of colors, edges, objects, etc. are linked with proprioceptive and motor information to generate the awareness of an out-there world.
