This work is intended as a voice in the discussion over previous claims that a pretrained large language model (LLM) based on the Transformer model architecture can be sentient. Such claims have been made concerning the LaMDA model and also concernin...

Numerous studies have shown that musical stimulation can activate corresponding functional brain areas. Electroencephalogram (EEG) activity during musical stimulation can be used to assess the consciousness states of patients with disorders of consci...
Diagnosis of disorders of consciousness (DOC) remains a formidable challenge. Deep learning methods have been widely applied in general neurological and psychiatry disorders, while limited in DOC domain. Considering the successful use of resting-stat...
In this article, we consider the intersection of cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) and artificial intelligence (AI), hence when CMD meets AI. In covert consciousness, there is a discordance between the observed behavior, the traditional bedside mode...

Emotional recognition is highly important in the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). However, due to the individual variability in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and the challenges in obtaining accurate emotional labels, traditional method...

We here analyse the question of developing artificial consciousness from an evolutionary perspective, taking the evolution of the human brain and its relation with consciousness as a reference model or as a benchmark. This kind of analysis reveals se...
There is an ongoing debate about the ethics of research on lifespan extension: roughly, using medical technologies to extend biological human lives beyond the current "natural" limit of about 120 years. At the same time, there is an exploding interes...
In recent years, there have been unparalleled prospects for psychological study due to the swift advancement of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in natural language processing, shown by ChatGPT. This review article looks into the uses and effe...
Decoding states of consciousness from brain activity is a central challenge in neuroscience. Dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) allows the study of short-term temporal changes in functional connectivity (FC) between distributed brain areas. By clu...
The presumption that experiential consciousness requires a nervous system and brain has been central to the debate on the possibility of developing a conscious form of artificial intelligence (AI). The likelihood of future AI consciousness or devisin...
