What makes a body feel like our own? The sense of body ownership is a core aspect of self-awareness, and it depends on the integration of multiple sensory signals. What role do visual predictions play in body ownership? Check out our new paper in Royal Society Open Science: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

An absolutely precision-oriented read from the wider team of @canalesjohnson.bsky.social and co. on the information processing of prediction errors--an already high feat. They go further, relating it to environmental stimuli across sleep stages.

Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

I'm enjoying this piece so much!

Happy to share our new and groundbreaking study on the relationship between conscious awareness and the sense of bodily self! With @brainself.bsky.social at @ki.se and out today in PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I'm happy to share our preprint "Disentangling visually-driven tactile predictions from multisensory integration in body ownership". We show that tactile predictions in the rubber hand illusion are as important as feeling touch on the hand to elicit the feeling of ownership. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Thrilled to share our new study: “Distilling the neurophenomenological signatures of pure awareness during Transcendental Meditation”, combining subjective reports with large-scale screening of neural features to investigate pure awareness. Thread below! 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Delighted to share our new publication in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, entitled: “Integrated phenomenology and brain connectivity demonstrate changes in nonlinear processing in jhana advanced meditation” 🧠🧘‍♀️🔬 🧵

Very relevant work on emergence by @neuromorphicboki.bsky.social showing an elegant way of dissociating the *amount* from the *organization* of emergent brain dynamics. Much needed distinction in the field of brain complexity

A big thank you again to Athena Demertzi and Emmanuel Stamatakis for organising a wonderful ASSC conference @assc28.bsky.social @theassc.bsky.social! See you all in Chile next year @assc2026.bsky.social !

My best ASSC so far at *ALL* levels. I had an absolute blast. Finding all possible "scientific" reasons to return to Crete asap 😇 @assc28.bsky.social #ASSC28. 🍗 🐑 🐖 ⛱️ 🌞 🧠 🍻

The one and only @svangaal.bsky.social on how fluctuations in arousal shape conscious perception. @assc28.bsky.social #ASSC28

The great @satupalva.bsky.social on brain critical oscillatory dynamics and perception @assc28.bsky.social #ASSC28

The great @neuromorphicboki.bsky.social on micro-to-macro neural dynamic relationships across sleep stages. #ASSC28 @assc28.bsky.social

Why should we care about nonlinear cortical interactions in the study conscious content? Find out tomorrow @assc28.bsky.social #ASSC28. All invited! 😎

If you are attending @assc28.bsky.social #ASSC28, on Wednesday, I will present a new principle of cortical communication during visual perception across species. All invited! 😎

Happy to share the first project of my PhD at #ASSC28, on how voluntary strategies modulate the reading response and how this relates to suggestibility and metacognitive efficiency. Appreciation to my collaborators, and to @fahrenfort.bsky.social for his support and supervision on this project.

1/ Excited to share our new paper just out in Scientific Reports! 🧠🎧 Using intracranial EEG, we show how the human brain automatically encodes patterns in random sounds– without attention or explicit awareness. 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

New preprint, w/ @predictivebrain.bsky.social ! we've found that visual cortex, even when just viewing natural scenes, predicts *higher-level* visual features The aligns with developments in ML, but challenges some assumptions about early sensory cortex www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The belief that artificial consciousness is coming crucially depends on the assumption that consciousness is a computation. In this new paper, we'll try to convince you that consciousness cannot be a computation w Albert Gidon and M.Larkum www.frontiersin.org/journals/neu... #neuroAI #consci

Very happy this is finally out 🎉. In this paper, we show that conf. reports are biased by a visual illusion, an asymmetrical base rate and a payoff scheme. Crucially, we show that only the visual illusion affects subj. experience, suggesting decision bias leaks onto confidence reports.

⚠️ Come see our new preprint, in which we (@degeelab.bsky.social, Jasper Zantvoord, @psterzer.bsky.social, @fahrenfort.bsky.social & @svangaal.bsky.social) show that phasic (task-evoked) and tonic (baseline) arousal distinctly shape human decision bias! (1/6) dx.doi.org/10.21203/rs....

To celebrate the defence of my PhD, and thanks to @ibbamsterdam.bsky.social, I will host a symposium titled "Vision as prediction: learning, action, and biases" on June 6. Program, registration and more information here: bit.ly/43reOgR
