Consumer and Object Experience in the Internet of Things: An Assemblage Theory Approach (2018, background): “This suggests that it is “likely that all mammals have at least some conscious experiences” (Tononi and Koch 2015, 14; de Waal 2016).”
Experimental and theoretical approaches to conscious processing. (2011, background): “A notable feature of the dynamic core hypothesis is the proposal of a quantitative mathematical measure of information integration called F, high values of which are achieved only through a hierarchical recurrent connectivity and would be necessary and sufficient to sustain conscious experience: ‘‘c”
From the Phenomenology to the Mechanisms of Consciousness: Integrated Information Theory 3.0 (2014, background): “0 [5,17,18] applied the same notions on a state-dependent basis: it showed how integrated information could be calculated in a topdown manner for a system of mechanisms in a state [17] and suggested a way to characterize the quality of an experience by considering its sub-mechanisms [18].”
The Conscious Id (2013, background): “Rather, this is likely to be an emergent property of activity in a complex, hierarchically organized system (Deco, Rolls, & Romo, 2009; Eguiluz, Chialvo, Cecchi, Baliki, & Apkarian, 2005; Friston & Ao, 2012; Sporns, 2011; Tononi, 2008).”
Insects have the capacity for subjective experience (2016, background): “We conclude with reflections on the relationship between our structural arguments and the so-called “hard problem of consciousness” (Chalmers, 1996).”
Information Processing in the Mental Workspace Is Fundamentally Distributed (2016, background): “, 2015; Logie, 2003)? Understanding how the brain enables the imaginative abilities of the mental workspace is an important goal for many fields (Insel, Landis, & Collins, 2013; Markram, 2012), and several models have proposed potential mechanisms (Graham & Rockmore, 2011; Tononi, 2008; Postle, 2006”
Networks of the Brain: Quantitative Analysis and Modeling (2010, neutral): “As Giulio Tononi has argued, empiri cal studies must be complemented by a theoretical framework (Tononi, 2008).”
Friendly Artificial Intelligence: The Physics Challenge (2014, background): “• The amount of consciousness in our Universe, which Giulio Tononi has argued corresponds to integrated information [9].”
Multisensory Integration in Complete Unawareness (2014, background): “This phenomenological observation is central to most theories of consciousness that postulate strong interdependencies between integration and consciousness (e.g., Baars, 2002; Dehaene & Changeux, 2011; Tononi, 2008, 2011).”
Toward a computational theory of conscious processing (2013, neutral): “According to Information Integration Theory (IIT) [53,54], global synchrony and re-entry may be needed, not just to globally share or broadcast a conscious stimulus, but, more essentially, to create an integrated representation of its various features.”
Inferring Causality from Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in Cognitive Neuroscience (2020, background): “This loss of entropy (Shannon & Weaver, 1949) in local neuronal activity reduces the information representation capacity of the synchronized network (Hanslmayr, Staudigl, & Fellner, 2012; Schneidman et al., 2011; Tononi, 2008), leading to a degradation of task-relevant information and a disruption o”
