Giulio Tononi is the neuroscientist who came up with the integrated information theory of consciousness. Hedda Hassel Mørch is a philosopher who spent a year in Tononi’s lab, developing a panpsychist version of the integrated information theory, according to which at the moment conscious entities combine to form a system in which there is more integrated information in the system as a whole than in any of its parts, those conscious entities fuse together to form a unified conscious system, ceasing to exist as separate conscious minds in the process.
