Pretty cool, isn't it? As for chickens, I'd be v surprised if they were capable of doing anything like this. Parrots and crows are the brainy birds. Rook pie definitely off my menu!

The parrots are trained to exchange metal tokens for food through a hole. But what if the hole is covered so they can't exchange the tokens? As the video shows, they seem to spontaneously pass the tokens to their neighbours if they can use them.😀

Just came across this lovely study from Désirée Brucks and Auguste von Bayern showing African grey parrots voluntarily and spontaneously helping each other get food cell.com/current-biolog… pic.twitter.com/0QTVS9OanW

Thanks Hakwan! That's v interesting re. contrast adjustment. And I def agree we shouldn't write off bias for understanding consciousness. But if effect is only shown to be on bias you can easily see why some will deny that results show PFC involved in consciousness.

Am I right that these results are consistent w/ effect on contrast threshold exclusively resulting from response bias? AFAICT threshold is measured by % correct, and when they look explicitly at sensitivity they find no significant correlation between lesions and A’ (only Beta').

New paper from philosopher Hanna Pickard argues that experimental philosophy research on causation and counterfactuals can help us understand what goes so wrong in people's ordinary judgments about rape

Totally agree. Boredom isn't the fundamental issue. Issue is whether cognition is fully occupied with task. There is space between being busy with a task and being completely cognitively consumed by it.

My "rightly" was aimed at the Kapoor et al. paper. In Odegaard et al. you consider the worry that "an overtrained animal may still be preparing a report". But even if Mante et al. address that, cognition includes more than report prep. so decoding could still reflect that, no?

Or at least even if there is a thinner concept of POV, there is a thicker notion (along the lines you suggest) which Nagel is invoking. A nice question whether we can really cash that notion out without invoking awareness.

Impressive stuff. But from a quick look it seems they only deal with "volitional motor report" as a confound not other cognitive processes. So @De_dicto will rightly complain we need a no cognition paradigm.

If Nagel's main aim is to connect consciousness w/ having a POV, and if seeing involves having a visual POV on the world, you can reconcile what it's like talk with a fully 1st-order, seeing = conscious seeing view. (If ego = subject, not sure about doing away with that though!)

At least according to Matthew Walker in Why We Sleep the "natural" biphasic pattern is 6-7hrs at night and then a decent postprandial nap in the afternoon (just when most talks are scheduled!). He seems to suggest that two sleeps in the night was a fad.
