The Science of Consciousness and Integrated Information Theory
1:34:41 - 1:41:13 (06:32)
This podcast discusses consciousness as an interdisciplinary task to work out physical brain activity corresponding to conscious experience through integrated information theory with a mathematically precise definition.

The hope with panpsychism is that there's a hierarchical story, where we take the causal dynamics of physics and hypothesize it's filled out with consciousness, while at higher levels, we get more complex causal dynamics, filled out by more complex forms of consciousness.

Summary
The hope with panpsychism is that there's a hierarchical story, where we take the causal dynamics of physics and hypothesize it's filled out with consciousness, while at higher levels, we get more complex causal dynamics, filled out by more complex forms of consciousness. Although it's a challenging question, it's still uncertain whether some things are more conscious than others in the panpsychist view.

Summary
This podcast explores the quantification of consciousness, its complexity, integration and the ongoing project of identifying the neural correlates of consciousness. The Integrated Information Theory is a promising theory that offers a mathematically precise definition of the level of integrated information where consciousness can be found.
