Frameworks (1)
framework
- A conceptual framework for understanding cognition and intelligence across diverse substrates—including evolved biological systems, artificial systems, and bioengineered systems—using empirically-grounded, gradualist approaches. TTAME enables comparative analysis of mind-like phenomena regardless of the physical or biological substrate in which it emerges, facilitating cross-disciplinary study of unconventional intelligences.
Methods (5)
method
- Voltage imaging dyesmentions
- OptogeneticsmentionsLight-gated ion channels used to control bioelectric states and dissect cellular computation.
- Gap junction blockadementionsPharmacological blockade of gap junctional communication used to alter morphological pattern memory and scaling.
- Dichloroacetate (DCA) treatmentmentionsA drug used to alter bioelectric state, mentioned as example of bioelectric manipulation.
- RNA interference (RNAi)mentionsUsed to knock down ion channel or gap junction genes to perturb bioelectric circuits.
