Here’s the result of a massive collaboration within the Human Brain Project to pinpoint what we know about the neural mechanisms of consciousness across scales. ⚖️ led by J.Storm, with @chrisklink.bsky.socialosf.io/preprints/ps...

🙏Many thanks for thinking about our paper! I don't disagree that "shallow brain" is (somewhat) misleading. However, I do think that the title helps to draw attention to the contrast with the prevailing view. Besides "Deep, but with shortcuts, brain hypothesis" would not be the catchiest title ...

We did @jaanaru.bsky.social#neuroskyence#brains#deeplearning@jaanaru.bsky.social, is that the core idea is 100% correct, but I think "shallow" is the wrong word (explanation in next post):

Our paper on mental navigation as a framework for psychotherapy has been accepted 🍾🥳 osf.io/preprints/ps...@kabrel.bsky.socialpsyche.co/ideas/boost-...#NeuroSkyence#PsychSciSky

How will work on artificial intelligence change our understanding of consciousness? I think it demonstrates that the neural mechanisms of consciousness are way more complex than our current theories of consciousness assume. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJa7...#neuroskyence#consciousness#PsychSciSky

Perhaps it is time to rethink some assumptions about the importance of hierarchical processing in the cortex. Neuroanatomical facts tell us that cortical hierarchical processing cannot be the only game in town. #NeuroSkyence#PsychSciSky

Yes, they do! Many thanks again for your thoughts. I apologize for not being able to engage in these interesting discussions at this time point - difficult times here.
