When a large number of similar entities interact among each other and with their
environment at a low scale, unexpected outcomes at higher spatio-temporal scales might …

Recent research has demonstrated the potential of psychedelic therapy for mental health
care. However, the psychological experience underlying its therapeutic effects remains …

How is the information-processing architecture of the human brain organised, and how does
its organisation support consciousness? Here, we combine network science and a rigorous …

A resurgence of panpsychism and dualism is a matter of ongoing debate in modern
neuroscience. Although metaphysically hostile, panpsychism and dualism both persist in the …

We apply the methodology of no-go theorems as developed in physics to the question of
artificial consciousness. The result is a no-go theorem which shows that under a general …

The problem of explaining the relationship between subjective experience and physical
reality remains difficult and unresolved. In most explanations, consciousness is …

“Emergence”, the phenomenon where a complex system displays properties, behaviours, or
dynamics not trivially reducible to its constituent elements, is one of the defining properties of …

Integrated Information Theory 4.0 (IIT) is one of the leading frameworks in the neuroscience
of consciousness (Consortium et al., 2023; Seth and Bayne, 2022; Signorelli et al., 2021). It …

A core feature of complex systems is that the interactions between elements in the present
causally constrain their own futures, and the futures of other elements as the system evolves …

Understanding the brain's intricate dynamics across multiple scales—from cellular
interactions to large-scale brain behavior—remains one of the most significant challenges in …
