🔓🧠 #Freedom vs. #Options – how free are we really?

In the #Zoomposium with #WolfSinger, it becomes clear that our decisions arise in a high-dimensional, dynamic network of neural processes that organizes itself – and that we only partially experience consciously.

Im #Zoomposium mit #WolfSinger wird deutlich: Unsere Entscheidungen entstehen in einem hochdimensionalen, dynamischen Netzwerk neuronaler Prozesse, das sich selbst organisiert – und das wir nur zum Teil bewusst erleben.

📛 The Limits of Consciousness 🧠

Gerhard Roth: “It’s like cycling without a bike – we cannot step beyond the limits of our own consciousness.”

In our Zoomposium he explores the constitution of consciousness from neuroscience & philosophy, and why we can only speculate about a world beyond it.

Cool #BrainInspired Surprise:

#ContextChangesEverything comes about 25 years after her previous classic #DynamicsInAction

#AliciaJuarrero is a philosopher and has been interested in complexity since before it was cool

» 1971 p
“Freedom of the Will and the Concept of the Person”
...
Instead of seeing freedom as the absence of external constraint, he saw freedom as an internal psychological relation between different levels of desire.
You might want to smoke a cigarette, but you also might want not to want to smoke.
...
you act freely when the desire that motivates you to act is the one that you want to motivate you to act...«

@cian comment in thread reminded me:

@kordinglab recent talks on how #computationalneuroscience #ml methods, while spread across labs & papers, still face #neurotheory proven grounds:

Thanks for the boosts, friends!

I'm thinking that I might use the Mastodon for more research-focused connections, and the Twitter might be better suited to the Animal Law or Animal Welfare orgs, etc.

We'll see!
