Ryota Kanai(@kanair):After ConCon, one research direction I want to pursue is building an AI model that captures some key features of the brain and studying what is inside it. LLM is useful but sometimes it's difficult to see to what extent analogy works. It may be impossible to reproduce all the biological details of the brain, but perhaps we can capture some of its essential properties at the right level of abstraction. I think such models could become a powerful tool for consciousness research.
