Predicting and understanding human action decisions during skillful joint-action using supervised machine learning and explainable-AI.

Scientific reports
This study investigated the utility of supervised machine learning (SML) and explainable artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for modeling and understanding human decision-making during multiagent task performance. Long short-term memory (LSTM) ne...

The Prospects of Artificial Consciousness: Ethical Dimensions and Concerns.

AJOB neuroscience
Can machines be conscious and what would be the ethical implications? This article gives an overview of current robotics approaches toward machine consciousness and considers factors that hamper an understanding of machine consciousness. After addres...

What is neurorepresentationalism? From neural activity and predictive processing to multi-level representations and consciousness.

Behavioural brain research
This review provides an update on Neurorepresentationalism, a theoretical framework that defines conscious experience as multimodal, situational survey and explains its neural basis from brain systems constructing best-guess representations of sensat...

Finding or Creating a Living Organism? Past and Future Thought Experiments in Astrobiology Applied to Artificial Intelligence.

Acta biotheoretica
This is a digest of how various researchers in biology and astrobiology have explored questions of what defines living organisms-definitions based on functions or structures observed in organisms, or on systems terms, or on mathematical conceptions l...

Quantifying arousal and awareness in altered states of consciousness using interpretable deep learning.

Nature communications
Consciousness can be defined by two components: arousal (wakefulness) and awareness (subjective experience). However, neurophysiological consciousness metrics able to disentangle between these components have not been reported. Here, we propose an ex...

AI ethics in computational psychiatry: From the neuroscience of consciousness to the ethics of consciousness.

Behavioural brain research
Methods used in artificial intelligence (AI) overlap with methods used in computational psychiatry (CP). Hence, considerations from AI ethics are also relevant to ethical discussions of CP. Ethical issues include, among others, fairness and data owne...

Meta-learning, social cognition and consciousness in brains and machines.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The intersection between neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) research has created synergistic effects in both fields. While neuroscientific discoveries have inspired the development of AI architectures, new ideas and algorithms from AI rese...

Future minds and a new challenge to anti-natalism.

Bioethics
Some futurists and philosophers have urged that recent developments in biotechnology promise advancements that challenge standard accepted views of human nature, the self, and ethical obligation. Additionally, some have urged that developments in art...

Biology transcends the limits of computation.

Progress in biophysics and molecular biology
Cognition-sensing and responding to the environment-is the unifying principle behind the genetic code, origin of life, evolution, consciousness, artificial intelligence, and cancer. However, the conventional model of biology seems to mistake cause an...

How hot is the hot zone? Computational modelling clarifies the role of parietal and frontoparietal connectivity during anaesthetic-induced loss of consciousness.

NeuroImage
In recent years, specific cortical networks have been proposed to be crucial for sustaining consciousness, including the posterior hot zone and frontoparietal resting state networks (RSN). Here, we computationally evaluate the relative contributions ...
