Excited to share our latest story! We found disentangled memory representations in the hippocampus that generalized across time and environments, despite the seemingly random drift and remapping of single cells. This code enabled the transfer of prior knowledge to solve new tasks

New version of "the letter" in Nature Neuroscience. Like many others in the field, I signed because I believe that IIT threatens to deligitimize the scientific study of consciousness: www.nature.com/articles/s41....
What makes a theory of consciousness unscientific? - Nature Neuroscience
Theories of consciousness have a long and controversial history. One well-known proposal — integrated information theory — has recently been labeled as ‘pseudoscience’, which has caused a heated open ...

New preprint! Structuralist approaches are becoming popular in consciousness science. @passler.bsky.social and I propose criteria for which kinds of neural structures can be reliably linked to quality spaces derived from reports.
Thrilled to share a new preprint on Neurophenomenal Structuralism (NPS) by @adriendoerig.bsky.social & myself! We show why neural structures alone aren’t enough to capture conscious contents. We must consider computational context! (arxiv.org/abs/2412.20873). A Thread (1/15):

Neurophenomenal Structuralism and the Role of Computational Context
Neurophenomenal structuralism posits that conscious experiences are defined relationally and that their phenomenal structures are mirrored by neural structures. While this approach offers a promising ...
