• Multisensory Integration in Complete Unawareness (2014, background): “According to the global-neuronal-workspace theory (Dehaene & Changeux, 2011; Dehaene & Naccache, 2001), multisensory integration can be performed by multimodal encapsulated neurons that are not connected to the global workspace (Dehaene, 2014).”
• Neuroevolution of self-interpretable agents (2020, background): “ation [1, 28]. Research in consciousness suggests that our brains interpret our surrounding environment in a “language of thought” that is abstract enough to interface with decision making mechanisms [20]. On the other hand, while recent works in deep RL for vision-based tasks have thrived [65, 66],”
• Animal sentience and the precautionary principle (2017, unknown): “…one theme common to many approaches is that subjective experience involves the integration in the brain of information from multiple sources (Dehaene 2014; Tononi and Koch 2015; Feinberg and Mallatt 2016) so as to enable its use in sophisticated forms of action-guidance, decision-making,…”
• The life course cube: A tool for studying lives. (2019, background): “In case of the latter, an algorithm like the subjective utility model ‘decides’ how to behave or act in the present integrating the expected and discounted and more or less reliably anticipated future outcomes over time (Dehaene, 2014).”
• Fields or firings? Comparing the spike code and the electromagnetic field hypothesis (2023, background): “Nunez and Srinivasan (2010) have developed a “binding by resonance” approach in various works; Dehaene, 2014 highlights the role of long-range synchrony between cortical areas as a key “signature of consciousness,” (as does Koch, 2004).”
