EEG microstate analysis in children with prolonged disorders of consciousness.

Scientific reports
Prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDoC) in children lack objective and effective diagnostic methods to assess consciousness states, hindering targeted treatment selection and delaying recovery. It remains unclear whether EEG microstate analysis, ...

Towards a Possible Definition of Consciousness.

Bio Systems
There is no consensus about what cognition and its emergent form, consciousness, are. Yet this article proposes a new definition of consciousness. As many researchers, philosophers and other thinkers believe that life means cognising, this new defini...

Increased Global and Regional Connectivity in Propofol-induced Unconsciousness: Human Intracranial Electroencephalography Study.

Anesthesiology
BACKGROUND: The conscious state is maintained through intact communication between brain regions. However, studies on global and regional connectivity changes in unconscious state have been inconsistent. These inconsistencies could arise from unclear...

Deep learning models reveal the link between dynamic brain connectivity patterns and states of consciousness.

Scientific reports
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...

Biological mechanisms contradict AI consciousness: The spaces between the notes.

Bio Systems
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...

Deanthropomorphising NLP: Can a language model be conscious?

PloS one
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...

Digital Doppelgängers and Lifespan Extension: What Matters?

The American journal of bioethics : AJOB
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...

The revolution of generative artificial intelligence in psychology: The interweaving of behavior, consciousness, and ethics.

Acta psychologica
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...

Is artificial consciousness achievable? Lessons from the human brain.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
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...

SFT-SGAT: A semi-supervised fine-tuning self-supervised graph attention network for emotion recognition and consciousness detection.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
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...
