A survey of researchers in the field found only a small minority fully endorsing the "pseudoscience" label.

Integrated information theory (IIT) proposes a mathematical model for the consciousness of a system. It comprises a framework ultimately intended to explain why some physical systems (such as human brains) are conscious, and to be capable of providing a concrete inference about whether any physical system is conscious, to what degree, and what particular experience it has; why they feel the particular way they do in particular states (e.g. why our visual field appears extended when we gaze out at the night sky), and what it would take for other physical systems to be conscious (Are other animals conscious? Might the whole universe be?). The theory inspired the development of new clinical techniques to empirically assess consciousness in unresponsive patients. According to IIT, integrated information (Φ) corresponds to the quantity of consciousness. That is, a system's consciousness (what it is like subjectively) is conjectured to be mathematically described by the system's causal structure (what it is like objectively). Therefore, it should be possible to account for the conscious experience of a physical system by unfolding its complete causal powers. IIT was proposed by neuroscientist Giulio Tononi in 2004. Despite significant interest, IIT remains controversial. In 2023, a number of scholars characterized it as unfalsifiable pseudoscience for lacking sufficient empirical su…

When Matilda shows up: The double-edged impact of women researchers' media visibility in management science.. Although the proportion of women in academic positions has increased, women researchers continue to receive less media coverage than their counterparts. To examine the implications of this underrepresentation, we investigate how different audiences respond to women researchers' increased visibility in social sciences dissemination media. We conducted two laboratory experiments, the first with a sample of non-academic individuals (N = 271) and the second with a sample of graduate students (N = 129). Results show that greater visibility of women researchers reduces the gender gap in s…
