#ASSC28 provides a great overview of various methods, tasks and measures used to study consciousness. Yet as a result, integrating empirical studies is challenging. On 9/7, 9:40 (Philosophy session) I will present a novel task ontologies approach aiming to address this issue @assc28.bsky.social
Excited to participate in the Meetings of the Alhambra in Granada! Combining an amazing crowd of consciousness researchers and breathtaking views

Waarom staken we? In het kort: Het kabinet-Schoof brengt de toekomst van Nederland in gevaar. Door de bezuinigingen moet belangrijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek stoppen –onderzoek dat hard nodig om urgente maatschappelijke problemen op te lossen. Dit kunnen we niet laten gebeuren. #DoeHetNiet.

A beautiful remembrance by Doug Hofstadter
garymarcus.substack.com/p/daniel-den...
I am touched by Daniel Dennett’s obituary. My work derives its entire raison d'etre from him, and now he's gone. I will always regard his curiosity, open mind, modesty and kindness as ideals to continue to strive for, as a human being and as a scientist
Review of Mitchell’s and Sapolsky’s #freewill books in Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad with Marc Slors @radbouduni www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/...
Highly recommended workshop! A rare opportunity to think collaboratively about measurement concpets and how to operationalize them. The organizers have an interdisciplinary background in psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience. #psychscisky #philsci
Workshop announcement: We organize a workshop on the interaction between conceptualization and measurement across all scientific disciplines for early-career researchers located in Europe. More info and application here ias.uva.nl/content/even... Thanks for sharing!
