| | | | | Nicolas Rouleau and Michael Levin have a new preprint out: Brains and Where Else? Mapping Theories of Consciousness to Unconventional Embodiments. The gist of the paper is that we should be open to seeing consciousness in places other than brains. While I'm onboard with that general premise, they take it to places that don't seem... | |

| | | | | by Mike Johnson The following is my considered evaluation of the Foundational Research Institute, circa July 2017. I discuss its goal, where I foresee things going wrong with how it defines suffering, and what it could do to avoid these problems. TL;DR version: functionalism ("consciousness is the sum-total of the functional properties of our brains")... | |

| | | [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. | ||
