Information integration model of consciousness (IIT) • Proposed a model of consciousness based on information theory • Defined consciousness as “the capacity to integrate information” • Model is based on entropy Guilio Tononi, University of Wisconsin, Madison Olaf Sporns, Indiana University, Bloomington

The Phi Model Node 1 Node 2 Node 3 Node 4
The Phi Model … … …
Phi is a complicated metric EI(A B) = EI(A→B) + EI(B→A) EI(A→B) = MI(AHmax:B) MI(A:B) = H(A) + H(B) - H(AB) H(A) = (1/2) ln [ (2π e) n |COV(A)| ] • 15 nodes takes about 3 hours to run • The brain has billions of neurons
A new metric: System Difference (SD) Compare the outputs from node 3 to node 4. No difference in outputs to node 2 Difference in outputs to node 1 Difference in outputs to node 3 No difference in outputs to node 4
SD is significantly faster than Phi A 1200 node system can run in under 3 minutes This would literally take many, many millennia to run with the Phi model

Graph Theory • degree-fundamental measure, complex networks have nonGaussian function with • long tails towards high degrees • assortivity-positive assortivity means high degree nodes connect to each other • density-measure of cost of a system, want to balance efficiency with cost • clustering coefficient-high clustering property of complex systems • global efficiency (maybe need local efficiency measure) high global efficiency • average path length-low average path length, inversely related to efficiency
