Amid growing concern about whether frontier artificial intelligence could instantiate consciousness-relevant capacities, we argue that attention self-modelling provides a uniquely tractable target for empirical research in current and future systems. Recent findings in multi-agent and control settings lend fresh support to this approach, demonstrating that attention self-modelling enables both...
Psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD, and MDMA have shown promise in treating mental health conditions (e.g., depression, post-traumatic stress disorder) among neurotypical individuals, i.e., typically developing individuals without a diagnosed neurodevelopmental condition. However, their therapeutic potential for treating co-occurring mental-health conditions in autistic individuals remains...
