💬 Our new #model for #neardeathexperience has sparked reactions —as is often the case with this fascinating topic. A series of exchange letters will be published, here’s the first. Rather than considering #NDEs as "mere" #hallucinations, our model dignifies them as complex, #adaptiveresponse

“Cuando nos acercamos al final, el materialismo ya no aplica”. Para el psicólogo Alexander Batthyány, los momentos de lucidez antes de morir desafían la concepción de que cuando la mente se daña la consciencia desaparece para siempre

🤩 Didn't see that coming! Our article on #neardeathexperience has been featured on the cover of the June issue! 🙏 Thanks to the editorial team for this highlight 📢 Thrilled that our work is gaining visibility, helping to raise awareness, recognition and inspire new thinking in this field

😌 Relieved to see that Europe continues to choose #science, and with it, #openness, #reason, and #progress. In a world where some major powers like the USA under Trump seem to head in the opposite direction, this brings a sense of hope

Thanks Illumine for bringing our scientific figures to life! 🤩

📢Thrilled to share this new framework convincingly explaining how such vivid experiences, #NDE, can arise during severe acute physiological crises 🙏Seeing this topic featured in this journal —first time ever as a full article— is meaningful, hopefully raising their awareness in #clinicalsettings

1/ "A science of consciousness beyond pseudo-science and pseudo-consciousness" is out now! it was a joy to coauthor this commentary with Àlex Gómez-Marin @behaviOrganisms for @NatureNeuro, in which we try find some positive lessons in the clash over IIT www.nature.com/articles/s41...

⚠️ Censorship may look different today, but its impact is just as dangerous 🧨 Still can’t believe this is happening... "We see this as the 🇺🇸 government playing with truth, a 2025 digital equivalent of book burning."

✨️ Happy International Day of #WomenInScience 🏔 Being a woman in science comes with its challenges, especially when working on topics that some still see as 'unconventional' 💪 But curiosity, rigor, and perseverance always push the boundaries

📢New study out, pioneering the first-ever trial of an atypical #psychedelic in patients with #DisorderOfConsciousness 📊The results suggest increased #braincomplexity and reduced #spasticity, though no new signs of consciousness were observed 🍄Looking forward to seeing this applied to more patients

🎉 I've always been impatient to attend the #ASSC, but especially this year since our symposium on neurophenomenology in non-ordinary states of consciousness got accepted 🤩 Can't wait to reconnect with colleagues !

✅️ Kicking off the year by giving Elon Musk slightly less power —I’ve left X and joined Bluesky. ✨️ Happy 2025 everyone ! 🧠 Can’t wait to share news on #NDE and #disorderofconsciousness research here soon!
