Abstract Models of consciousness aim to inspire new experimental protocols and aid
interpretation of empirical evidence to reveal the structure of conscious experience …

Characterizing consciousness in and of itself is notoriously difficult. Here, we propose an
alternative approach to characterize, and eventually define, consciousness through …

Recent activities in virtually all fields engaged in consciousness studies indicate early signs
of a structural turn, where verbal descriptions or simple formalisations of conscious …

The study of the brain's dynamical activity is opening a window to help the clinical
assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness. For example, glucose uptake and …

The ZX-calculus is a universal graphical language for qubit quantum computation, meaning
that every linear map between qubits can be expressed in the ZX-calculus. Furthermore, it is …

A reconstruction of quantum theory refers to both a mathematical and a conceptual
paradigm that allows one to derive the usual formulation of quantum theory from a set of …

In this review, we discuss empirical results inspiring the introduction of a formal
mathematical multilayer model for the biological neuroscience of conscious experience …

We cast aspects of consciousness in axiomatic mathematical terms, using the graphical
calculus of general process theories (aka symmetric monoidal categories and Frobenius …

ZX-calculus is graphical language for quantum computing which usually focuses on qubits.
In this paper, we generalise qubit ZX-calculus to qudit ZX-calculus in any finite dimension by …

Qualitative relationships between two instances of conscious experiences can be quantified
through the perceived similarity. Previously, we proposed that by defining similarity …
