TSC3: Quantum Fish, the Poster Session


This is the best depiction of quantum theories of consciousness.

TSC2: In Circles


Towards a science of consciousness is the perfect title for this conference.
Towards a science of consciousness, but in circles.

In case you're wondering, i am the annoyed one at the bottom.

TSC1: Roboethics

Bits and pieces about the Conference 'Towards a Science of Consciousness':

A guy asked whether it is ripe time to talk about roboethics.
He says we are close to artificial consciousness because we soon will be able to compute whole brain neural network simulations in real time.

This is a common confusion. Once and for all:
Calling something a neuron doesn't make something a neuron.
Computing big matrices will not lead to consciousness.

Penrose and quantum neurodynamics

About Sir Penrose and his theory of consciousness Lord Byron could have said:

But like a hawk, encumbered in his hood
Explaining Metaphysics to the Nation
I wish he would explain his Explanation

Penrose's strategy is gnostic: substitute a mystery with another.
