- Reposted by Jakob HohwyAnother beautiful work from @ronyhirsch.bsky.social , now with @niccolonegro.bsky.social : they find that contrary to may philosophical stands, public views do not consider consciousness to be neither necessary nor sufficient for moral status! Find this, and many other interesting results, below 👇
- New preprint! with @niccolonegro.bsky.social and @liadmudrik.bsky.social doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/ve6c5_v1 Consciousness seems central to moral status debates, from AI to animal welfare. But is consciousness necessary for moral status? Is it sufficient? We surveyed >1000 people to find out. 🧵 1/n

- Reposted by Jakob HohwyWhat if pain demands far more than trying to make it stop? Modern mindfulness gurus often claim that while pain (its sensations) is unavoidable, suffering (our emotional and cognitive responses to it) is optional. ⤵️
- Reposted by Jakob HohwySame sound, different perception: Do expectations change what you hear?👂🧠 We paired faces w topics and played the same ambiguous speech w different faces. The brain sharpened sensory signals toward predictions and showed gated prediction errors at higher levels. Read @plosbiology.org. Blueprint👇
