( The Development and Analysis of Conscious Machines )

Information Integration

The neural network was analyzed for information integration (Tononi and Sporns 2003) to make predictions about its consciousness (Tononi 2004), to support the analysis for Metzinger's (2003) theory of consciousness and to evaluate the integration between mental states. Details about the information integration analysis are given in Chapter 7, Section 7.4.
