To convince people you're not the same as the other guys, you have to be about something more than just winning the next election, which (ironically?) will help you win elections and (sarcasm loading) has the tangential benefit of actually improving the lives of those you serve.

If you're interested in auditory neuroscience and doctoral work, reach out! I'm one of the mentors listed for CSD's (@ucf.bsky.social) new PhD program and would love to recruit a kind, curious, and enthusiastic new member of the conscious audition and scene analysis (CASA) lab. tinyurl.com/m9www9rc

What is it like for a U.S. citizen to be kidnapped by CBP? What are they like, how do they talk when they speed off with you in their car? Hear it directly from this woman with extraordinary courage and presence of mind, who bravely shamed them and non-violently fought back until they released her.

Great write-up of an interesting article that traces its roots to "A modified concept of consciousness" (Sperry, 1969): psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

The cruelty is the point.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Very cool auditory no-report fMRI study!

👂🧠NCC in an auditory no-report fMRI study 🧠👂 now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social ! www.cell.com/current-biol... Using inattentional deafness, we show that awareness of task-irrelevant sounds mainly activates stimulus-specific sensory brain areas.

‘But Florida has made no such provision, telling SNAP recipients in an online message, “SNAP benefits for the month of November will not be issued until federal funding is restored.”’

Here's a glimpse at some of the people who are about to lose SNAP funding, from @msnbc.com.

Super interesting to watch Ahsan Adeel and his lab trying to develop an alternative to current LLM architectures, using pyramidal two-point neurons as their starting point

If you want to take your M/EEG interpretations farther, I can recommend this tool!

Pretty sure Minnesota might be the only place where you can look at high-field MRI images on a jumbotron.

Our review on intracranial research on consciousness is now out as a preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2510.08736. I believe that intracranial recordings provide one of the most exciting avenues for research on consciousness right now! If you agree, I think you will find the review interesting 🤓

I don't think it is OK to desk reject a paper with no comments or feedback at all. If you have time to read/skim the paper and make a judgement, then you have time to write a sentence explaining why you don't want it (and that stuff is invaluable for ECRs)

This is the way. tinyurl.com/34768ed3

This paper in @cp-iscience.bsky.social led by Laura Doll and Alexander Gutschalk @uniheidelberg.bsky.social was published last year, but I'm highlighting it again b/c I think it's really cool and has all the things: M/EEG, pupillometry, awareness ratings, SDT. #consci 🧠💻 www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

Bravo, @mit.edu ! links.mit.edu/nl3/N5Jy2cKq...

The next session of the MIT Consciousness Club is on Thursday 16, 12pm-1:30pm. Rachel Denison will present “Attentional Distortions of Subjective Perception”. More information here: sites.google.com/view/mit-con....

Look what I did this summer! I had the pleasure of writing a review paper on three kinds of multisensory-emotional experience, with Hirohito Kondo and Erin Hannon. This is submitted to a special issue of @nconsc.bsky.social on Embodied and Phenomenological Perspectives on Consciousness. 🧵:

Our #sEEG study is now published in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/eIkoG! 🧠 Key finding: We discovered neural evidence accumulation for visual perception that's independent of report preparation—recorded from >3000 channels across 3 experiments! #Neuroscience #Consciousness #OpenAccess

A big win for @neuromatch.bsky.social and for our students, TAs, and mentors! So proud of the hard work that went into making this happen and grateful to the NIH for their support!

Kudos to the original authors for doing the right thing.

What if there is no unified theory of consciousness? What if there is just a motley crew of multiple generators? Asger Kirkeby-Hinrup, Morten Overgaard and I investigate what this would mean for consciousness studies. (Thanks to both of you!) academic.oup.com/nc/article/2...

I've been waiting some years to make this joke and now it’s real: I conned somebody into giving me a faculty job! I’m starting as a W1 Tenure-Track Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt in a week (lol), in the Faculty of CS and Math and I'm recruiting PhD students 🤗
