Functional Self-Modeling Without Phenomenal Consciousness: Architectural Conditions and Challenges for Self-Aware Agency in AI Systems with Environment Interfaces

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) June 27, 2026 Yu Hu

This position paper advances a conceptual analysis of functional self-modeling---a form of self-aware agency distinct from phenomenal consciousness---drawing on insights from global workspace theory (GWT), predictive processing (PP), and embodied sensorimotor theory. As a position paper, we do not present a validated theory or an implemented system; rather, we articulate a structured conceptual...

Esketamine reduces postoperative depression in breast cancer through TREK-1 channel inhibition and neurotransmitter modulation.

Cancer cell international February 18, 2025 Jiachi Xu, Mingcan Li, Yu Hu et al. 6 citations

Postoperative depression significantly affects the quality of life of breast cancer patients. This study explores the potential therapeutic effects of esketamine on postoperative depression through modulation of the TREK-1 two-pore domain potassium channel. We analyzed data from 54 female breast cancer patients who underwent surgery at our hospital between 2019 and 2023, dividing them into...
