New paper with @ManuKirberg 💭

Apparently, my paper “What is a global state of consciousness?” has been translated into Chinese!? I’m flattered, I guess. No bump in citations though... yet. Anyone else experienced this?

My Twitter bubble is only about the letter against IIT, so I thought it would be nice to contribute by sharing my thesis, which was entirely on the phil of science of IIT. I concluded that IIT is actually serious science and serious philosophy: bridges.monash.edu/articles/…

So excited to be working with my fantastic colleagues to build this Centre in the years to come. Marvelous investment in student well-being combined with interdisciplinary research across philosophy, humanities and cognitive science.
Through an extremely generous $12 million philanthropic gift from the Three Springs Foundation, we will establish a new Centre for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies at our Clayton campus.
