Integrated information theory: the good, the bad and the misunderstood
Adam B. Barrett, Borjan Milinkovic, Pedro A. M. Mediano +4
The integrated information theory of consciousness (IIT) is uniquely ambitious in proposing a mathematical formula, derived from apparently fundamental properties of conscious expe…
Greater than the parts: A review of the information decomposition approach to causal emergence
Pedro A. M. Mediano, Fernando E. Rosas, Andrea I. Luppi +5
Emergence is a profound subject that straddles many scientific disciplines, including the formation of galaxies and how consciousness arises from the collective activity of neurons…
Towards an extended taxonomy of information dynamics via Integrated Information Decomposition
Pedro A. M. Mediano, Fernando E. Rosas, Andrea I Luppi +4
Complex systems, from the human brain to the global economy, are made of multiple elements that interact in such ways that the behaviour of the `whole' often seems to be more than…
Reconciling emergences: An information-theoretic approach to identify causal emergence in multivariate data
Fernando E. Rosas, Pedro A. M. Mediano, Henrik J. Jensen +4
The broad concept of emergence is instrumental in various of the most challenging open scientific questions -- yet, few quantitative theories of what constitutes emergent phenomena…
Beyond integrated information: A taxonomy of information dynamics phenomena
Pedro A. M. Mediano, Fernando Rosas, Robin L. Carhart-Harris +2
Most information dynamics and statistical causal analysis frameworks rely on the common intuition that causal interactions are intrinsically pairwise -- every 'cause' variable has…
The Phi measure of integrated information is not well-defined for general physical systems
Adam B. Barrett, Pedro A. M. Mediano
According to the Integrated Information Theory of Consciousness, consciousness is a fundamental observer-independent property of physical systems, and the measure Phi of integrated…
Measuring Integrated Information: Comparison of Candidate Measures in Theory and Simulation
Pedro A. M. Mediano, Anil K. Seth, Adam B. Barrett
Integrated Information Theory (IIT) is a prominent theory of consciousness that has at its centre measures that quantify the extent to which a system generates more information tha…
Multivariate Granger Causality and Generalized Variance
Adam B. Barrett, Lionel Barnett, Anil K. Seth
Granger causality analysis is a popular method for inference on directed interactions in complex systems of many variables. A shortcoming of the standard framework for Granger caus…
Shannon Information Capacity of Discrete Synapses
Adam B. Barrett, M. C. W. van Rossum
There is evidence that biological synapses have only a fixed number of discrete weight states. Memory storage with such synapses behaves quite differently from synapses with unboun…
Dynamics and robustness of familiarity memory
J. M. Cortes, A. Greve, A. B. Barrett +1
When one is presented with an item or a face, one can sometimes have a sense of recognition without being able to recall where or when one has encountered it before. This sense of…
