#ASSC28 provides a great overview of various methods, tasks and measures used to study consciousness. Yet as a result, integrating empirical studies is challenging. On 9/7, 9:40 (Philosophy session) I will present a novel task ontologies approach aiming to address this issue @assc28.bsky.social

Waarom staken we? In het kort: Het kabinet-Schoof brengt de toekomst van Nederland in gevaar. Door de bezuinigingen moet belangrijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek stoppen –onderzoek dat hard nodig om urgente maatschappelijke problemen op te lossen. Dit kunnen we niet laten gebeuren. #DoeHetNiet.

I am touched by Daniel Dennett’s obituary. My work derives its entire raison d'etre from him, and now he's gone. I will always regard his curiosity, open mind, modesty and kindness as ideals to continue to strive for, as a human being and as a scientist
