Thrilled to share our new paper in Nature Human Behaviour! nature.com/articles/s41... We show that combining biological 🧬 and psychosocial 📋 data offers a much stronger, more reliable path to predicting pain and diagnosis. 🧵

"... supporters of GNWT called IIT a pseudoscience. Such language has no place in a process designed to establish working relationships between competing groups" i totally agree w/ the 2nd part. but we're not part of that process, nor the said competing groups ... 🧠📈 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

i have uploaded this preprint a while back, but hadn't promoted it directly here. in this piece i explain why i can no longer recommend trainees to participate in my former home field. The End of Conscioussness - osf.io/preprints/ps... but i've learned a lot. thank you for everything. 🧠📈

Fetuses have the right signatures according to IIT for consciousness, especially if they're premature and male (apparently): www.nature.com/articles/s44... There are consequences of IIT in the real world. For real people. It clearly already has the juice to be a practical concern.

i used to have blog on consciousness. i just uploaded my final post there, in which i responded to Alex Gomez-Marin & Anil Seth's recent commentary on the scientific status of IIT. inconsciousnesswetrust.blogspot.com/2025/03/fina... so long, folks. the world is going nuts. pls take care. 🧠📈

LLMs have shown impressive performance in some reasoning tasks, but what internal mechanisms do they use to solve these tasks? In a new preprint, we find evidence that abstract reasoning in LLMs depends on an emergent form of symbol processing arxiv.org/abs/2502.20332 (1/N)

Why Tononi et al's defense of IIT fails to convince me. medium.com/@kording/86f...

New version of "the letter" in Nature Neuroscience. Like many others in the field, I signed because I believe that IIT threatens to deligitimize the scientific study of consciousness: www.nature.com/articles/s41....

🚀 Thrilled to share my first first-author paper, published in PCN ! We explore how our unique subjective experiences of the world affect mental health using a combination of psychometrics, NLP and genAI. 🔗 Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/pcn.... 🧵👇

Let's do something fun! I have access to ChatGPT Deep Research. It will give you 10-30 page reports about esoteric topics by aggregating information from a few dozen sources, with citations. What do you want to ask it?

@alexanderhuth.bsky.social - in your amazing 2016 Nature paper u showed that semantic content as triggered by spoken words is broadly represented by pretty much the entire cortex. if one did the same analysis w/ movies, would it be less widespread? 🧠📈 🧠💻 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

General ML question: If a high-dimensional model predicts the training set 100%, but generalizes to held-out data to a realistic degree (e.g. an r2 of 0.1-0.2), is it overfit? Or is it only overfitting if it fails to generalize?

My article "A comprehensive assessment of current methods for measuring metacognition" is finally out in Nature Communications 🎉 If you work on metacognition and think you know the psychometric properties of your favorite measure, you may be surprised. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

www.nature.com/articles/s41... "LLMs trained on the vast scientific literature could ... forecast novel results better than human experts. ... Like human experts, when LLMs indicated high confidence in their predictions, their responses were more likely to be correct"

Is this the post that made our paper the most read one at Imagine Neuroscience?!? We should have used that as our title :)

This was a fun new style of science communication to participate in for me. You can read the back and forth between 3 (philosophically-inclined) scientists about the definition of "non-testable" theories and what role they can play in neuroscience, moderated by me!

This is the last official week to apply to join us at NIH as a staff scientist!

An outsider's perspective: I respond to Tim Bayne’s article about whether the integrated information theory (IIT) of consciousness should be considered pseudoscience.

Heading to #sfn23 and looking for a postdoc in pain / affective neuro with outstanding resources & guaranteed funding? Check out my lab at NIH! 2-3 positions now open, happy to discuss.

In our new decoded neurofeedback study, we used a MNI-space decoder of pain (SIIPS) for the purpose of neuro-reinforcement. We showed that (1) we can modulate SIIPS independently from another decoder of pain intensity (NPS) and (2) have some influence over pain perception #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

shameless self-promotion: fear levels of people afraid of snakes decoded in the visual system (VT) of people that aren't afraid of snakes. one idea there is that these properties are statistically associated with fear while not representing fear/threat themselves. bsky.app/profile/vinc...

Yesterday was the launch of my new book. It was fun to do. As always, I learned a lot about myself and the world I live in by writing. I spend most days writing one thing or another. I couldn't ask for a better life.

Hey BlueSky community, I created a feed for NeuroAI related posts! 😃 Hope the community of people interested in 🧠-inspired AI or 🤖-related methods in neuroscience will benefit from it 👇 Link: bsky.app/profile/did:... #HiSciSky #compneurosky #neuroskyence

just SEVEN DAYS LEFT to apply to work as a postdoc with us on fmri decoding, consciousness, higher order theories, and more! big collaboration with @jorge-morales.bsky.social & Rachel Denison among others. please apply! faculty.sites.uci.edu/cnclab/job-o...

We are hiring a postdoc! We're looking for someone interested in perception, imagination & consciousness, and with experience in neuroimaging (the focus is fMRI but MEG/EEG is ok). Vision science, machine learning and philosophy nerds please apply! subjectivity.sites.northeastern.edu/research/hot...

In our new pre-print, we found that "fear profiles" can be decoded from the ventral visual stream whether participants report being afraid of the stimuli or not. It is the interaction between the prefrontal and visual cortices that seemed to support subjective fear www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Awesome opportunity to apply for a postdoctoral fellowship to come and do NeuroAI research in Montreal! If you are interested DM me: ivado.ca/en/2023/10/1...

New paper: we're getting close to showing unconscious perception with a non-biased (2IFC) visibility task, using both metacontrast masking and super fast presentations (980 micro(!!)-seconds) using a modern-day tachistoscope (shown here). Preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

from @alanlee.bsky.social "[..] Hoel argues [...] that the media have not exaggerated the empirical support for IIT. [...] The present article is a short reply [...] presenting the reality [..] with [...] a sample of 20 quotes from different articles in the media." psyarxiv.com/g35ak

Come work with us! @PrincetonNeuro and @PrincetonCS are searching for a joint faculty member in NeuroAI and intelligent systems. On the PNI side, our human cog neuro group (already v. computational) is esp keen to develop more connections with AI and CS. puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/app...
