An implementation of integrated information theory in resting-state fMRI.

Communications Biology July 5, 2023 Idan E Nemirovsky, Nicholas J M Popiel, Jorge Rudas et al.

Integrated Information Theory was developed to explain and quantify consciousness, arguing that conscious systems consist of elements that are integrated through their causal properties. This study presents an implementation of Integrated Information Theory 3.0, the latest version of this framework, to functional MRI data. Data were acquired from 17 healthy subjects who underwent sedation with...

The Emergence of Integrated Information, Complexity, and 'Consciousness' at Criticality.

Entropy (Basel, Switzerland) March 16, 2020 Nicholas J M Popiel, Sina Khajehabdollahi, Pubuditha M. Abeyasinghe et al.

Integrated Information Theory (IIT) posits that integrated information ( Φ ) represents the quantity of a conscious experience. Here, the generalized Ising model was used to calculate Φ as a function of temperature in toy models of fully connected neural networks. A Monte-Carlo simulation was run on 159 normalized, random, positively weighted networks analogous to small five-node excitatory...
