1/ Can AI be conscious? My @BBSjournal target article on ‘Conscious AI and biological naturalism’ is now open for commentary proposals. Deadline is June 12. Take-home: real artificial consciousness is very unlikely along current trajectories.

Wonderful to see our paper on stroboscopically-induced hallucinations out now - led by Trevor Hewitt & David Schwartzman w/ Romy Beauté (Sussex), and the first installation of a new collaboration with Timo Schmidt's group (w/ Ionna Amaya) 🧠💡

My PhD student Trevor Hewitt is conducting an online experiment into closed-eye visuals during psychedelic experiences. If you've had such an experience, please consider taking part here (it's only a short survey) - and/or help us spread the word. 🙏🏽🧠

It's a thrill to see this project, led by @MilinkovBorjan, see the light of day. It's led me to rethink the relationship between emergence and consciousness, and it's been an honour and pleasure to work on it with Boki and team (Thomas Andrillon, Lionel Barnett, Olivia Carter).👇🏽.

Is it time to bring back 'natural philosophy'? Find out by listening to @danfalk's audio report on the recent @JohnsHopkins workshop on the topic, held in Baltimore in May, organised by Sean Carroll

Hello @davidjjsaunders :-) I'd be very grateful if you could DM me? I am trying to get in touch about the following article you wrote: - many thanks!.

Oxonians! I'll be exploring "the mystery of consciousness" with none other than Jonny Thomson @philosophyminis at The North Wall Arts Centre on Sep 16th. Tickets are free - courtesy of @bigthink. More details:

CORRECTION Boki Milinkovic is at 09:30 not 09:50 - the programme was updated.

5/ . and then in the afternoon poster session: "Is Conscious Perception Necessary to Direct Attention?" from Syrus Chen, Ryan Scott, and Zoltan Dienes.
