Let us spread the word about Integrated Information Theory (IIT) - the math used by neuroscientists to measure consciousness #44

About the author

I am a professor of neuroscience at a leading US research university.

Quick Summary

There are many slide presentations on IIT. What is missing is a well-designed 3Blue1Brown-style video explanation of the mathematics underlying Integrated Information Theory.

Target medium

An animated YouTube video of 10-20 minutes length might be ideal. Manim animations would be awesome.

More details

Here is a great summary of IIT, including all relevant equations: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Integrated_information_theory

Here is a GitHub repo where all of these equations have been transformed into readily useable algorithms: https://github.com/wmayner/pyphi
