My thoughts on how consciousness should be tackled from a representationalist perspective based on ideas from phenomenal structuralism. Includes an ML-based experiment of how I think one could go about decoding conscious content from neural systems using self-attention.

Some thoughts on the connection between neurons as physical objects, neural representations, and subjective experience.

A look at three formulations of the problem of consciousness, their metaphysical assumptions, and their implications for science.

A blog post introducing probabilistic forecasting in the Darts open source time series library, including an artificial and a real-world example.

A presentation about the meta-problem of consciousness as described by David Chalmers.
