1/20 FINALLY – its launch day (UK, @FaberBooks) for Being You – A New Science of Consciousness. It will be in bookshops around the country, and also available online (hardback, eBook audiobook) - more details at anilseth.com/being-you/ and at amazon.co.uk/Being-You-Insi…
2/20 I’m excited to talk about the book this evening at the Royal Institution @Ri_Science, in person and online, starting at 7pm and followed by beers. Now with added @AdamRutherford. Tickets available here: rigb.org/whats-on/event…
3/20 Being You is all about consciousness, and explains how and why our experiences of the world, and of being a 'self', are deeply grounded in our nature as living creatures.
1/n How can we identify and measure ‘emergent’ processes in complex systems? Here’s a new #arXiv preprint addressing this question, by Lionel Barnett (@LionelBarnett2) and me. It’s all about ‘Dynamical Independence’. arxiv.org/abs/2106.06511. Thread:
2/n Emergence is a popular but difficult to grasp concept. We all have strong intuitions about when macroscopic processes ‘emerge’ from the micro-level constituents – as in flocks (murmurations) of starlings.
3/n One context of particular interest is how, or whether, mental states – perhaps even conscious states – might ‘emerge’ from the collective dynamics of their underlying neural populations.
1/n Day 2 at #ASSC24 & allow me to highlight some @sacklercentre@SussexUni presentations (all times BST). But first, many congrats to @royesal & team for pulling off an incredible first day 👏
3/n then at 5:40pm @CompainClemence is talking about "dissociation between objective and subjective judgements in uncertain environments" (work with me and @maxine_sherman) - in the metacognition 1 session
