The Guardian has just reported on our work on computational modeling, consciousness and organoids.
GN is calling for a moratorium on brain organoid research that approaches sentience and a ban on organoid transplantation in animals.
We will be presenting on the topic at the Society for Neuroscience 2019 Annual Meeting:
Monday Oct. 21, 2019, 9:30 AM – 9:45 AM
- A computational window into the problem with organoids: Approaching minimal substrates for consciousness
Nanosymposium: Learning and Decision-Making
Session location: 273.07/ Room S106
Talk at: 9:30 – 9:45 AM
E.L. Ohayon, P.W. Tsang, A. Lam
