The "quantitative precision (of information) and its breadth of ap- plication have come at a cost," said Terrence W. Deacon, professor of anthropology and neuroscience at the University of California-Berkeley (UC-Berkeley), at the ISIS (International Society for Information Studies) Summit Vienna 2015. "[I]t has impeded its usefulness in fields such as evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, the social sciences, and even the humanities ... in order to provide the foundation for a theory of information that is sufficiently precise and formal ... it is necessary to expand and slightly reformulate the technical concept of information in a way that accounts for these properties," Deacon concluded during his presentation, "How Information Lost Its Meaning (And How to Recover It)." The theme of the summit, which was held June 3-7 at the Austria University of Technology, was The Information Society at the Crossroads: Response and Responsibility of the Sciences of Information.
