Overview

Curated abstract when available.

Building on the Ant Colony Test (ACT) introduced in 2019, this paper further develops the case for using ant colonies as model systems for consciousness research. We examine how colony-level information integration, adaptive behavior, and meta-cognitive processes in ant colonies relate to proposed criteria for consciousness.
