Matteo Grasso: Structure of space in IIT (2024 June 30)

Integrated Information Theory (IIT) aims to account for both the quantity and quality of experience in physical terms. Dr. Matteo Grasso presents IIT's account of the experience of visual space starting from a characterization of its key phenomenal properties, and showing how they can be accounted for by unfolding undirected grids (akin to the ones found in visual cortex). For a complete presentation and further explanation see www.iit.wiki/contents ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-ASSC (2024, June 30, Sun) Satellite Workshop "Structural approaches to consciousness: Qualia Structure and Integrated Information Theory" Program: Day: June 30, 2024 (Sun) Time: 9:00-17:00 Place: Ito Hall, Ito International Research Center, University of Tokyo Aims: In this satellite symposium, hosted by the Qualia Structure, we will discuss the current state of the structural approaches to consciousness from empirical, computational and theoretical perspectives. The satellite will be open to any researcher (but registration is required) who are interested in the structural approach to consciousness. A one day event will be a mixture of lectures and poster presentations. Registration: Free Organizers & Speakers: Giulio Tononi (University of Wisconsin - Madison) Masafumi Oizumi (University of Tokyo) Naotsugu Tsuchiya (Monash University) Speakers: Matteo Grasso (University of Wisconsin - Madison) Renzo Comolatti (University of Wisconsin - Madison) Graham Findlay (University of Wisconsin - Madison) Program: 9:00-9:45 Tsuchiya: Opening remark (Overview of the Qualia Structure paradigm and brief introduction to category theory) 9:45-10:30 Oizumi : Unsupervised alignment of qualia structures 10:30-12:00 : Tononi: Consciousness as structure: a perspective from IIT 4.0 12:00-14:30 lunch & poster discussion 14:30-:15:30 Tononi, Grasso, Comolatti, Findlay : 1.
