Carlo Annibale Tononi (1675–1730) was a luthier who trained and worked with his father in the Tononi family workshop in Bologna, Italy until his father, Johannes Tononi, died in 1713. After his father's death, Tononi moved to the more important center of music in Italy--Venice.
In the late 17th century, Bologna was a great centre for art and especially of string playing, being Arcangelo Corelli's home town. By early 18th century, Venice had become a more important cultural centre (for music and Lutherie/ Instrument Making). Carlo Tononi moved to Venice between 1713-1716, where he became one of the foremost makers of the new Venetian School.
Before his death, Tononi modified his will to provide for his funeral. He requested that the proceeds from the sale of one of his cellos be used to pay for a mass to be said for his soul. On 21 April 1730, his executors published his will after his death.
A genuine Tononi violin ranges in value from $45,000 to $450,000 depending on condition and provenance.
fqxi.org The past century in physics seems to lead in a surprising direction: away from physics as a description of objects and their interactions, and towards physics as a description of the evolution of information. Is this the correct way to think about physics and the physical world? What is information? What does the term "information" even mean? What role does information play in quantum gravity, cosmology, thermodynamics, life and consciousness, and what links does it provide between these areas? FQXi's international, interdisciplinary conference on the Physics of Information brought together leading researchers to discuss the significance, meaning, and uses of information in physics.
Giulio Tononi and Larissa Albantakis on Integrated Information Theory. This presentation was delivered as a part of a workshop: "Consciousness - here, there, everywhere? The prospects for panpsychism", held in Byron Bay, Australia on July 20 and 21, 2014. The workshop was a satellite event for the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC 18).

Giulio Tononi, University of Wisconsin, Madison "Sleep function and synaptic homeostasis" We spend a third of our lives in sleep, but we have no idea why. This, according to Dr. Tononi, "is most embarrassing for neuroscience." Slow sleep oscillations -- traveling waves -- propagate throughout the brain on the superhighways of the connectome, then they spread out through the rest of the brain; this happens a thousand times every night, but we have no idea why. Dr. Tononi proposed a theory for why we sleep, which basically states that "sleep is the price we pay for synaptic plasticity." That is, sleep exists as a sort of "offline" reset, or release valve, to renormalize synaptic strength that steadily increases during wakefulness. Dubbed the Synaptic Homeostasis Hypothesis (SHY), Tononi p...
From the world science festival - Consciousness, Explored and Explained: Giulio Tononi talks about how consciousness is both unified, yet made up of fragmented pieces at the same time.
The full lecture (1-hour) is now on vimeo at /53787308 Dr. Giulio Tononi presents his theory of Phi Integration. A system with a particular combination of high differentiation with high integration in its connectivity will exhibit dynamics with a large value of phi. This happens to be the connectivity allowing for maximal information integration. This video features fragments of a much longer lecture given at an unknown location.

Here it is! Bam!
And y'all say "oh fuck!", this be a cold cut
Show love whenever the flow bust
Mash up the whole club, people in the line try door rush
People in they rides doing donuts
Pushin' poems in the domes of groupies givin' up that 'chocha'
To the independent mommas who got they own stuff
Even white girls with no butts
I unload one in the domes of nine to fiver survivors
To the heads huggin' the corners, this is for the
Big blingin' ballers or the backpackin' purists
Who say "The Source" sucks
Whether you smoke up or hold cups
It started as a slow buzz, now we roll up
Treat the industry like they owe us
Don't front, you know who this is…
Mo-no-lith!
[CHORUS]
This is hip-hop! Yep, yep the real deal
Talkin' 'bout microphones and the wheels of steel
This is hip-hop! B-boys and graf bombin'
If you ain't up to rep then you best pass on it
This is hip-hop! Fly ladies and gents
Comin' out to the clubs and the major events
This is hip-hop! Underground and commercial
The same shit that builds us kills us…
[NISH RAAWKS]
You'll never catch Nish posin' in some flashy-ass get up
Cuz I'm fed up with people who listen to what they see and not hear
So I snear and appear looking pissed
As I breathe in the mist and as you bangin' on your chest with your fist
I insist on rollin' my own, can't wait a turn
So tell me to go to hell cuz all I wanna do is burn
I live to learn and earn the things that I need
To succeed at a successful speed, best believe in Nish
I explode like a cist on a boxer's fist
The death wish leaving whole cities dissed in this
I'm the rap yellow plague, spreading sickness
So if you sound like bitches, you gonna leave the cyph dickless
The difference is you listen while I study
I'm in the studio while you're freestyling drunk with one of your buddies
It's more than just a fashion and flashin', it's passion with tongue lashin'
You know my crew so stop askin'!
[CHORUS]
[DAN-E-O]
This is Mo-no-lith!
Definition: an unbreakable rock, no knots and no rifts
You mocked and you quipped that my flock is the pits
We watched and we hawked while you talked all your shit
Now we clockin' you with lyrics that's hotter than wires is
In stolen kinds of whips and faulty kitchen appliances
Got it down to a science it's your three royal heinesses
How petrifying this Dan, Spi and Nish alliance is
You find it crisp that you got this new identity
But since elementary school, my status was celebrity
Cuz I had this tendency: always rap offensively
And dent MC's using talent shows as my weaponry
True lyricist necessities
I got 'em covered like conspiracies and priest's sexual histories
CDs: 20 bucks, 30 for the live hypeness
Experiencing mics ripped like this: Priceless!
