🎊📜 NEW PAPER 📜🎊 Can we seriously build synthetic consciousness? And if so, where do we start? I’m super excited to present recent publication in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews where @jaanaru.bsky.social and I confront this challenge head on. 1/n

1/8 Do LLMs have stable personalities? We ran 2 million tests. (Spoiler: no.) 🧵 Paper accepted at AAAI 2026 - Alignment Track Safe deployment requires behavioral consistency. We found persistent instability across scales, reasoning modes, and personas. ⤵️

Heureux de participer à nouveau à "La Science, CQFD" sur @franceculture.fr Avec @giadapistilli.com, nous parlons d'#IA génératives devenues confidents ou substituts émotionnels, et des risques liés à la solitude et à la dépendance affective. 🎧 www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

New study led by @quentinmoreau.bsky.social & @vchamberland.bsky.social and @ppsp-team.bsky.social 👏 We show how brain stim can shape social inference in human–machine interaction 🧠🤖⚡ New causal evidence linking rTPJ to Theory-of-Mind & Self–Other distinction, & path towards social #neuromodulation!

Thrilled to see this beautiful work out! Immense kudos to @ryssamoffat.bsky.social for leading this ambitious project and to @escross.bsky.social for the inspiring collaboration. Glad to explore together how inter-brain synchrony reflects our social bonds and their evolution across generations 🧠🤝🧠

Et demain, on consacrera notre émission aux conséquences potentiellement délétères des IA sur la santé mentale 🤖 Ce sera à 16h sur @franceculture.fr ! #ScienceCQFD

🌐 Our submission "Reclaiming #Creativity: Cultural Rights, #AI, and the Future of Human Expression", with Antoine Bellemare, Suzanne Kite, @karimjerbi.bsky.social, has been positively received by the #UN Human Rights Office and cited their report for the UN General Assembly!

🫁❤️New preprint out: The social, decoupled self We show effects of interpersonal synchronization of physiological rhythms on intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling: when we sync our breathing, our breathing–heart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Honored to be awarded the FRQ–IVADO Research Chair in "Social Neuro-AI & Inter-Personalized Psychiatry"! Grateful to my team & colleagues at @cra-chusj.bsky.social & @mila-quebec.bsky.social, and my family for their support 🙏 Excited to keep bridging social neuroscience, AI & precision psychiatry🚀

Having fun facilitating this amazing group of young Profs at the #Neuro4Pros workshop with @kordinglab.bsky.social and @meganakpeters.bsky.social, @yaelniv.bsky.social, and Hannah Bayer. Watch out world: this is the next generation of leaders! compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i...

🗺️ Pathfinding: a neurodynamical account of intuition 📔 We #review the neuroscience of #intuition, and present it as a predictive embodied process, emergent from hippocampal replay & brain metastability 🤝 with S. Kotler, M. Mannino, K. Friston, G. Buzsáki & J.A.S Kelso 🔗 nature.com/articles/s42...

🤔 How can we study #consciousness between people, at the social level? 🧠✨ New #preprint co-led by Anne Monnier & Lena Adel: “Now is the Time: Operationalizing Generative Neurophenomenology through Interpersonal Methods” 🧵(1/3)

[RDV 16h !] L’activité des cerveaux peut se synchroniser lors d’une interaction. Les mécanismes sous-jacents restent méconnus. Comment la technique de l’hyperscanning permet-elle d’étudier cette synchronie ? Comment l'interpréter ? avec Guillaume Dumas et François-Xavier Alario

♥️🔄♥️ Interpersonal Cardiac Synchrony During Emotional Sharing Between Strangers 🔎 Even brief emotional exchanges can align heart rhythms between strangers 📄 A new preprint led by the outstanding Lena Adel & Viktoriya Manova osf.io/preprints/ps... #Social #Embodiment #AffectiveScience #Physiology

Proud of Pascal Notsawo, presenting at #ICML2025 about our research on #Grokking. He demonstrated how this phase transition to generalization depends on training objectives and regularization, and how standard metrics may overlook the key dynamics. 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2506.05718 📍 Poster W-811, July 16

🧠💬 New #review on #hyperscanning & therapeutic alliance! After >15 years of developing this tech, I'm glad to see how brain-to-brain sync may explain some mechanisms of psychotherapy, but we're just getting started. Future: more data, multimodal & groups www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Not all #empathy is the same. In this new study led by the brilliant Julia Ayache, we unpack how psychopathic, autistic, and alexithymic traits relate differently to affective, cognitive, and motor empathy—using self-reports and a Social #NeuroAI agent 👉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📝New preprint! ⚡️Kudos to @quentinmoreau.bsky.social & @vchamberland.bsky.social for co-leading this work combining elegantly neuromodulation and social interaction with an artificial agent in real-time! Excited about our @PPSP_team starting to release empirical works in #Social #NeuroAI 🧠~🤖

👏 Congrats to Adrien on his 1st first-author PhD paper! Great collaborative effort with Sarah Lippé & Seb Jacquemont teams at @chusaintejustine.bsky.social where we show how computational methods can uncover multiscale relationships in the brain and their role in understanding neurodevelopment 🧬🧠

New paper in @pnasnexus.org: we study how collective decisions emerge via sensorimotor coordination between multiple neuroinspired artificial agents. Successful consensus requires balanced internal neural dynamics, environmental coupling & social interactions. #SocialNeuroAI #Alignment #MultiAgents

🥳 Just got tenure !!! 🍾 🙏 Incredibly grateful for the support of my colleagues at @umontreal.ca, CHUSJ & @mila-quebec.bsky.social —especially the amazing members of our team! Huge thanks to my collaborators & mentors. But most importantly, endless gratitude to my family and my amazing wife ❤️
