More press on our recent Behavioral and Brain Sciences article: #philsci #cogsky #CognitiveNeuroscience @phaueis.bsky.social aktuell.uni-bielefeld.de/2025/11/24/t...

This is going to be so much fun!! Apply and come hang out in Madrid!

I am incredibly honored to have been invited as one of the keynote speakers for the XIV PBCS! This long-standing initiative is very supportive of graduate students & early-career researchers, so I encourage everyone to submit their abstracts! See you in Madrid next year! #HPS #HPbio #cogsci #philsky

The Nth reminder that "presrige" is at lwast in part a form of funding-agency-enforced mass hysteria

Abstract deadline tomorrow if anyone is interested in joining us in Exeter in February to talk all things Social AI!

I've had a thread of office whiteboard philosopher portraits going for a while on the other site. Figure I'll start a fresh one here. This is Susan Hurley.

So how can we best use museum collections for neuroanatomy research? 1. more skeletons in good quality 2. proper fixation of specimens 3. avoid long-term ethanol storage if possible. And for more information on bird brains, check out our new book: direct.mit.edu/books... #BOU2025 6/6

#philsci #cogsky #CognitiveNeuroscience @phaueis.bsky.social and I have had our paper, “Metabolic considerations for cognitive modeling,” accepted as a target article in Behavioral and Brain Sciences. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Gestapo

You come to Britain as a refugee, fleeing persecution & death, you fall in love, get married, have children, or start a business, buy a house, etc. 19 years later, the Home Office tells you the conflict in your country is over, go home, we’re deporting you. That’s the reality of Labour’s policy.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Cover of new book.

Had to share this from twitter just because

My article "When Engrams Become Exograms: Organic Data Memory and Biological Memory Extension" is now available open access from Review of Philosophy and Psychology. This is part of a special issue on "Memory and Technology: 4E Perspectives"

🚨New publication🚨: my paper 'What motivates mental fictionalism?' is part of a Philosophical Psychology symposium on Mind As Metaphor by @adamtoonphilos.bsky.social. Available at www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Huzzah! The PhilSci preprint archive for #philsci papers is finally on Bsky! Give them a follow to keep up with latest work in field ⬇️ @philsci-archive.bsky.social

My commentary on @anilseth.bsky.social's BBS article: philpapers.org/rec/MICBOF. We should bet on functionalism.

Our first keynote of ISPSM 2025 kicks off with Sabrina Coninx @sconinxphil.bsky.social media who is speaking about disruptive technologies and human niche construction! 📡

Live N O W Keynote Talk: Sabrina Coninx (UVA) - Distruptive Technology and Human Niche Construction

#PhiMiSci published a new standalone article: In “What active inference still can’t do: The (frame) problem that just won’t go away”, Darius Parvizi-Wayne argues that both new and old attempts to solve the frame problem on the basis of the active inference framework are explanatorily inadequate.

My paper on Predictive Processing and structure function mapping is finally officially out on Biology & Philosophy. Readcube here, rdcu.be/eMiw7 & abstract in the comments #philmind #philsci #philsky #philpsy #neurosky #neuroskyence

Join us for another year celebrating ISPSM! Registration still open - and still free to all.

Someone updated this meme.

Linker & Jacobs should both know better. It is not reasonable to demand, as a condition of opposing Trump's 'compact', that liberals admit - what clearly isn't true - that the Biden administration's transgender policies were a pretextual, bad faith effort to exclude conservatives from employment.

HELLO THERE, from this white-browed coucal in #Serengeti. And happy #flyday. #birds #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #nature #wildlife #nikon

Latest papers: Marco Facchin shows how Toon’s fictionalism entails a specific form of the extended mind thesis doi.org/10.1080/0951... #philsky. #philpsy

In a new paper, Keith Allen and colleagues show that people vacillate between at least two views of seeing: a) we see things themselves, and b) we see things indirectly via mental images and inference. Both are "common sense." Read the whole paper here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.” Same shit different era.

Happy to share that our BBS target article has been accepted: “Core Perception”: Re-imagining Precocious Reasoning as Sophisticated Perceiving With Alon Hafri, @veroniqueizard.bsky.social, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & Brent Strickland Read it here: doi.org/10.1017/S014... A short thread [1/5]👇

This is a big one! A 4-year writing project over many timezones, arguing for a reimagining of the influential "core knowledge" thesis. Led by @daweibai.bsky.social, we argue that much of our innate knowledge of the world is not "conceptual" in nature, but rather wired into perceptual processing. 👇

New paper on Predictive Processing is forthcoming in Biology & Philosophy. The basic gist of the paper is: Predictive processing, in its most ambitiously unificatory form, entails equipotentialism. Preprint and full abstract below #philmind #philsci #philsky #philpsy #neurosky #neuroskyence

Questa è, o era, l'ambulanza che un nostro caro amico e volontario di Bologna ha portato in Ucraina. Centrata da un drone ieri pomeriggio, i volontari stanno tutti bene, ma urge il bisogno di trovare un'altra ambulanza. Non ho più parole per descrivere questo infinito terrore.

The enemies of freedom

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated. or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities
