Scientists are exploring the capabilities of the DeepSeek-R1 AI model, released by a Chinese firm. This open and cost-effective model performs comparably to industry leaders in solving mathematical and scientific problems. Researchers are leveraging its accessibility to create custom models for specific disciplines, although it still struggles with some tasks.
consciousness relates to a dynamic process of self-sustained, coordinated brain-scale activity assisting the tuning to a constantly evolving environment, rather than in static descriptions of brain function (3–5). In that respect, neural signals combine, dissolve, reconfigure, and recombine over time, allowing perception, emotion, and cognition to happen (6).
