Adversarial testing of global neuronal workspace and ... - Nature nature.com Apr 30, 2025 6 facts
procedureTo test Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT) and Integrated Information Theory (IIT) decoding predictions, researchers decoded stimulus categories (faces versus objects and letters versus false fonts) separately for task-relevant and task-irrelevant conditions, and decoded orientation (front view versus left view versus right view) on combined data from both task conditions.
procedureThe experimental design included five manipulations to test theories of consciousness: (1) four stimulus categories (faces, objects, letters, false fonts), (2) 20 stimulus identities, (3) three stimulus orientations (front, left, right), (4) three stimulus durations (0.5 s, 1.0 s, 1.5 s), and (5) task relevance (relevant targets, relevant non-targets, irrelevant).
claimThe study utilized four stimulus categories: faces, objects, letters, and false fonts, which were categorized into two groups: pictures (faces and objects) and symbols (letters and false fonts).
procedureTo test theories of consciousness, the researchers manipulated attributes of conscious content by presenting suprathreshold visual stimuli across four categories (faces, objects, letters, and false fonts), with each category containing 20 unique identities shown in three orientations (front, left, and right) and for three durations (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 seconds).
procedureThe researchers tested neurobiological theories of consciousness by evaluating the decoding accuracy of stimulus categories (faces–objects and letters–false fonts) and stimulus orientation (left, right, and front-facing) in theory-relevant brain regions.
claimAcross all modalities, orientation decoding was observed for letters and false fonts—but not objects—in posterior, but not prefrontal, regions of interest.

Dualism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Winter 2016 Edition) plato.stanford.edu Aug 19, 2003 1 fact
claimBundle dualism is a position where the mind is viewed as a bundle of impressions and ideas, and it is a special case of the general bundle theory of substance, which posits that objects are organized collections of properties.
Panpsychism - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy plato.stanford.edu Jul 18, 2017 1 fact
claimPanpsychists do not necessarily hold that every object has a mind; rather, they argue that the fundamental parts of objects, such as the parts of a rock, possess mental properties.
