Symmetries at the origin of hierarchical emergence
Many systems of interest exhibit nested emergent layers with their own rules and regularities, and our knowledge about them seems naturally organised around these levels. This paper proposes that this...

I'm reposting our new theory paper on qualia and symmetry. We used the concept of principal bundles to break down different aspects of qualia. I believe this should also provide a formal explanation of why vision feels like vision, whereas audition feels like audition.

I’m very excited about our latest results in EEG speech decoding!
Using data scaling laws, we reached 96% accuracy across 512 speech phrases (best participant). It’s incredible but non-invasive brain decoding is getting real. More soon!
