“…Perhaps ironically, given its well-meaning intention to help address mental-health challenges (Michel et al, 2019), mainstream conscious-experiential science itself seems to enact distorted thinking! The current-mainstream simultaneously makes these three claims: (a) conscious experience doesn't have any explicit, additional, effect on brain-dynamics (the only position consistent with insistence on conventional-physics); (b) first-person subjective reports in experiments are scientifically-reliable data about contents-of-experience [or can be made so within ingenious frameworks, e.g.…”

“…For about five years, leading figures have authored articles in prominent journals promoting the trulyscientific, completely-trustable, bound-to-eventually-succeed nature of allegedly-remarkable advances in conscious-experiential science [e.g. (Block et al, 2014;Storm et al, 2017;Koch, 2018;Michel et al, 2018Michel et al, , 2019]. A central and potentially-tragic feature of this marketing campaign is its assertion of a basic scientific-untruth: that conscious experience [or phenomenal consciousness (Block, 2005)] can be studied scientifically, within the dynamical-regime inherent in current mainstream physical-theory.…”

“…Or, « Science sans conscience n'est que ruine de l'âme » disait Rabelais dans une lettre de Gargantua à son fils Pantagruel, après lui avoir demandé d'être un « abîme de science » en maîtrisant autant de secrets des sciences naturelles qu'il en était enseigné à son époque. Par un heureux hasard ou une géniale prévoyance de Rabelais, cette citation -depuis largement exploitée par les moralistes contre ce qu'ils décrivaient comme les excès de la science et contre les scientistes -a trouvé sa concrétisation dans le développement d'une « Science de la conscience », notamment depuis la fin du siècle dernier [55,56]. Stanislas Dehaene et al [57], notamment, ont examiné les dimensions ou modes fonctionnels de la conscience humaine -classés en C1 (mode de « disponibilité globale » des informations) -et C2 (auto-évaluation ou méta-cognition, introspection et conscience de soi) -, au-delà du mode inconscient (C0) de traitement automatique de l'information familière par le cerveau humain : ce n'est qu'à ce mode C0 que correspondent, pour la reconnaissance d'images ou de sons, les algorithmes actuels d'IA, dépourvus de C1 et C2, soulignent Dehaene et al [57], qui ont également minutieusement analysé le chemin qu'il resterait à parcourir pour répondre à la question initiale que se posait Alan Turing en 1950 [58] sur sa machine informatique : peut-elle penser ?…”

“…One area that has attracted considerable attention as a modifiable risk factor for unhealthy diets and weight gain is digital marketing. The proliferation of digital food and beverage marketing has led to concerns about the influence of this type of exposure on the health and wellbeing of children [5], particularly given their cognitive and developmental vulnerabilities [6]. In recent years, there has been a substantial shift in children's media practices, from the dominance of television viewing to increasing time being spent online, including social media and content-sharing platforms (e.g., YouTube), subscription video on demand services (e.g., Netflix) and games (e.g., Fortnite) [7,8].…”
