Jonathan EmmesediI'm looking around for material that would provide someone without a background in neuroscience some understanding of the debate about Integrated Information Theory and the study of consciousness.
I've read Tononi and Koch's 2015 "Consciousness: here, there, and everywhere?"
https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2014.0167
I was wondering what have been the most important critiques of this theory, and where the debate now stands.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Thought provoking essay on anthropomorphism and our interpretation of animal behaviour. Make sure to read the comment section as well.
Clearly, the way in which we ascribe - or identify - animal emotions will help shape our thinking about how we ought to treat them.
Less obviously, revising our views about anthropomorphism might change our thinking about moral responsibility. What are we thinking and doing when we say "Good dog!"?
