Consciousness - Coherence of Modalities

The course aims to explore the coherence definition of consciousness and its relation to Global Workspace Theory and Integrated Information Theory. It delves into the language of thought, the concept of coherence, and how it emerges within the system and interacts with the environment. Students will learn about structured nets in different cortical areas, dynamic homeomorphic mappings, and the mind's state trajectory. The course teaches the concept of stable nets and the consistency condition that defines coherence. Consciousness is presented as a series of globally coherent states. The teaching method involves presenting answers to fundamental questions and implementing the theory through concrete models of perception. This course is intended for individuals interested in consciousness studies, neuroscience, cognitive science, and mathematical concepts related to topology and category theory.
