Thrilled to join the Steering Committee of the Society for Philosophy and Neuroscience ‪‪@socphilneuro.bsky.social I’ll contribute to shaping next year's conference with a fantastic team led by Danielle J. Williams @okaydaniellle.bsky.social and David Barack @dlbarack.bsky.social #neuroskyence

ECSU's @nicohinrichs.bsky.social just posted an update on his paper on 'Geometric Hyperscanning of Affect under Active Inference' on Arxiv! Make sure to check out his collabo. with @mahault.bsky.social @dimitrisbolis.bsky.social Yuyue Jiang, Leonardo Christov-Moore, and @leoschilbach.bsky.social

Hello, world! At the Embodied Cognitive Science Unit @oistedu.bsky.social in gorgeous Okinawa, we explore life and mind in terms of agent-environment interactions and do so via haptics, hyperscanning, and artificial life.

Our latest work, "Investigating short windows of interbrain synchrony: A step toward fNIRS-based hyperfeedback", is now out in @imagingneurosci.bsky.social 🧠💡🎉 doi.org/10.1162/IMAG... We've taken a key first step toward hyperfeedback - i.e. neurofeedback based on interbrain synchrony with fNIRS 🧠🔄🧠

Sam Gershman writes beautifully about how theory-free neuroscience prevents the field from reaching its promise. Beautiful and true. Most folks do not test hypotheses. Running a NHST does not a hypothesis make. www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...

If you fancy the idea that emotions are inferences we make together, have a read and fire back with critiques, questions, or priors of your own. arxiv.org/abs/2506.08599 #neuroskyence #hyperscanning

@jrbneuropsiq.bsky.social at @socphilneuro.bsky.social on the need of a psychopathological turn past the pre-paradigmatic heterogeneity of explanations of mental health disorders via a metatheoretic analysis towards a coherent and integrated framework built atop a taxonomic space of theories.

John Krakauer killing off Simulation Ideology for the 1st annual meeting of @socphilneuro.bsky.social! @pessoabrain.bsky.social seems to be a fan? Looking forward to the #DSPNW session later today. Stoked to share my epistemic take on hyperscanning and some of the empiric work it stems from ;-)
