What determines where specialisation for sensory information occurs in the cortex? We observe a spatial competition between primary sensory areas and the Default Mode Network, using our new Spatial Component Decomposition method. Work by @ulysse-klatzmann.bsky.social , with Bazin & Daniel Margulies

Hi there! I’m nearing the end of my PhD (what a journey!), and I’ve come to the terrible conclusion that we haven’t solved consciousness yet. That’s why I’m on the hunt for a postdoc! I already have a couple of very exciting options, but I’d love to broaden my horizons.

🎉 We kicked off our Winter School with an incredible session by our chair @davidchalmers.bsky.social We explored the big questions: What is consciousness? What challenges does the field face? What are the prevalent theories in the field? 🧠✨ #Consciousness @ibroorg.bsky.social

Many people are already talking about this book, and for good reason! A must-read in theoretical neuroscience from Xiao-Jing Wang.

What happens in the brain when a stimulus enters consciousness? We built a biophysical model of the cortex to zoom in to synaptic interactions and zoom out to whole-cortex neural dynamics during perception. It revealed a key mechanism for ignition🧵... www.cell.com/cell-reports...
