Why is reality so slow? Why can we only have one thought at a time? Why do we need so many neurons? Will Elon Musk's Neuralink really speed up his cognition? For answers and more questions check out our new review: "The Unbearable Slowness of Being". arxiv.org/abs/2408.10234
This article is about the neural conundrum behind the slowness of human behavior. The information throughput of a human being is about 10 bits/s. In comparison, our sensory systems gather data at...

Congrats Martin! Loved the presentation of this of work at TRF-3. Looking forward to the details.
Hi, I think you have accidentally entered the f values from ANOVA. The software asks for 'Cohen's f'. These two are not the same.
The way out of the islands of consciousness science, is to build bridges using properties of experience. Not through ToC or adversarial collaborations. We demonstrate one such bridge using temporal properties. (end thread🧵) #conscicgs1.cgs.iitk.ac.in/user/ishan20...
Stripping away metaphysical baggage makes ToC congenial to each other; under a minimal model of time-consciousness. When pieced together, each ToC contributes a unique feature of temporal experience (i.e. revision, anticipation, recurrence, nested, extension, and retentional) (3/n)
