Born to Learn: the Inspiration, Progress, and Future of Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (2017, background): “Downing (2007) looks at different computational models of neurogenesis to propose an evolutionary developmental system, focusing in particular on abstraction levels and principles such as Neural Darwinism (Edelman and Tononi, 2000).”
Autonomy and Enactivism: Towards a Theory of Sensorimotor Autonomous Agency (2017, background): “…cell assemblies (Hebb 1949; Varela 1995) or dynamic cell assemblies (Tsukada et al. 1996) to the dynamic core hypothesis (de Pasquale et al. 2012; Edelman and Tononi 2000), from global attractors (Freeman 2001) to dissipative dynamic structure (Llinas 2001), from chaotic attractors (Tsuda 2001)…”
The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization (2017, neutral): “…of affect—valence and arousal (Barrett and Russell, 1999; Kuppens et al., 2013)—are basic features of consciousness (Damasio, 1999; Dreyfus and Thompson, 2007; Edelman and Tononi, 2000; James, 1890/2007; Searle, 1992, 2004; Wundt, 1897) that, importantly, are not unique to instances of emotion.”
An information integration theory of consciousness (2004, background): “This is why the set of elements underlying consciousness is not static, but can be considered to form a "dynamic complex" or "dynamic core" [1,9].”
How Brain Reveals Mind Neural Studies Support the Fundamental Role of Conscious Experience (2003, neutral): “(Edelman & Tononi, 2000).”
Embodied Artificial Intelligence (2004, background): “Are, for example, Vogt’s robotic models of adaptive language games [37], by virtue of their physical embodiment, better scientific models than Steels’ partly physical, partly simulated Talking Heads [32] or their fully simulated counterparts [38]? After all, neither the robot bodies used nor their e”
Pension design and structure : new lessons from behavioral finance (2004, background): “Many current theorists, including Damasio (1999), LeDoux (1996), and Edelman and Tononi (2000), spotlight the limits of the mind-as-computer metaphor and related data-depositing instructional programs.”
The Neuropsychological Connection Between Creativity and Meditation (2009, background): “It has been associated with object representation (Tallon-Baudry, & Bertrand, 1999 ) recognition (perception; Rodriguez et al, 1999 ), and multimodal conscious experience (Edelman, 1989 ; Edelman & Tononi, 2000 ).”
The neuroimaging of emotion. (2008, background): “We begin this chapter by sketching a hypothesized “neural reference space” for emotion (Barrett, Mesquita, Ochsner, & Gross, 2007; Edelman & Tononi, 2001), which refers to the set of brain structures thought to instantiate emotions and related affective states.”
Global Workspace Dynamics: Cortical “Binding and Propagation” Enables Conscious Contents (2013, background): “The Dynamic GW theory (dGW) is a specific version of the “dynamic core” hypothesis proposed by Edelman and Tononi (2000), and in somewhat different forms, by Edelman (1989) and others.”
The semiotic hierarchy: life, consciousness, signs and language (2009, neutral): “Even more “objectively”, it has been recently suggested that consciousness might be supported by the massively interconnected thalamocortical system (Edelman & Tononi 2001), and is characterized by high-frequency, irregular and low-voltage activity.”
Modeling Field Theory of Higher Cognitive Functions (2007, background): “…the theory of granularity; Meystel (1995) developed the hierarchical multi-scale organization; Edelman suggested neuronal group selection (see Edelman & Tononi, 1995); and the author suggested the knowledge instinct, aesthetic emotions and dynamic logic among the first principles of the mind…”
Functional grouping and cortical-subcortical interactions in emotion: A meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies (2008, neutral): “The subnuclei of the thalamus are heavily connected in reciprocal circuits with much of the forebrain and provide avenues of communication among cortical regions (see Edelman and Tononi, 2001, for review).”
PHENOMENOLOGICAL ARCHITECTURE OF A MIND AND OPERATIONAL ARCHITECTONICS OF THE BRAIN: THE UNIFIED METASTABLE CONTINUUM (2009, neutral): “There are several theoretical frameworks that try to integrate brain and mind.(17,31,32,34,37-46) However, practically all of them do not take phenomenal consciousness of mind seriously and in the best case they try to explain consciousness through its neural correlates,(47-49) despite the fact that”
Toward physics of the mind: Concepts, emotions, consciousness, and symbols (2006, background): “Among researchers taking this view are Grossberg, who suggests that the first principles include a resonant matching between bottom-up signals and top-down representations [9], and emotional evaluation of conceptual contents [10]; Zadeh developing theory of granularity [11]; Meystel developing hiera”
The symbol grounding problem has been solved, so what’s next? (2008, background): “Neurobiologists Gerald Edelman and Giulilo Tononi (2000) have proposed system explanations for phenomena like consciousness in terms of re-entrant processing and coordination of networks of neural maps rather than specific biosubstances or quantum processes.”
