| | | | | [AI summary] The text describes three computational simulations designed to model cessation experiences, which are states of reduced phenomenological content. These simulations are based on the concepts of recursive mappings between sensory fields, coupled oscillators, and gestalt detection. The first simulation, the Gestalt Detector, explores how different perspectives interact with our ability to detect patterns in the environment. The second, Standing Wave Pattern Across Multiple Fields, investigates how waves in different fields can be synchronized by using either 3D or 2D distance functions. The third, Fractal Recursive Coherence, models how recursive projections can lead to a state of zero phenomenality by collapsing all projections into a single point... | |

| | | | | [AI summary] This text is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the intersection between consciousness, neuroscience, and philosophy, with a particular focus on the work of Steven Lehar and the Qualia Research Institute (QRI). The article introduces Lehar as a significant figure in the field of consciousness studies, emphasizing his harmonic resonance theory of neurocomputation and its implications for understanding the nature of perception, aesthetics, and the mind-body problem. The piece also highlights the importance of developmental milestones in cognitive understanding, referencing Scott Alexander's work on the 'map is not the territory' concept, and explores the role of psychedelic experiences and neuroimaging in understanding consciousness.

| | | | | [AI summary] The text discusses Steven Lehar's harmonic resonance theory and its connection to brain function, particularly in relation to visual perception and neural computation. Lehar's theory suggests that the brain operates through resonant modes rather than individual neurons, and this idea is supported by connectome-specific harmonic wave theory, which links the brain's functional networks to its anatomical structure. The text also explores the implications of these theories, including potential applications in neuroscience and the study of consciousness, such as the possibility of directly manipulating brain harmonics to induce specific states of consciousness. | |

| | | When it comes to cybersecurity, humans are often seen as the weakest link, but new research suggests that with a little help, people can do a surprisingly effective job at identifying malware. In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers from the University of Waterloo's Cheriton School of Computer Science teamed up with University of Guelph cybersecurity experts to test how | ||
