Excited to announce our symposium on how AI and humans shape each other “Humans and Artificial Minds: Mutual Influences” 9 Jan at ENS Paris. Talks by @smfleming.bsky.social, Valeria Giardino, Silvia Tulli, @thecharleywu.bsky.social, Laurence Devillers & @summerfieldlab.bsky.social . Program ↓

Only one more week until the Brain and Cognition conference @brain-cognition-nl.bsky.social starts in Egmond aan Zee with @smfleming.bsky.social and Maryam Alimardhani as keynote speakers! www.societyforbrainandcognition.nl

When we see something that's moving, our memories about it end up projected forward in time: We remember it further along than it was. In a new paper in 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, out today and led by @dillonplunkett.bsky.social, we demonstrate that this happens even when there is 𝙣𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙤𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧.🧵

Happy to share our new and groundbreaking study on the relationship between conscious awareness and the sense of bodily self! With @brainself.bsky.social at @ki.se and out today in PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Recording of a talk on "Sensory Horizons and Visual Consciousness in Non-human Animals" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Pz...) at the University of Michigan. Based on the recent BBS paper on sensory horizons and consciousness w/ @smfleming.bsky.social.

We are excited to announce that the Cognitive Computational Neuroscience meeting (CCN 2026) will be held at New York University from August 3–6, 2026. 2026.ccneuro.org

Very good indeed. @stevefleming.bsky.social thinks consciousness is a process - what something does. In that case he says it’s theoretically possible for AI to be conscious. Not so, says @anilseth.bsky.social.

Perceptual Dysregulation in Psychiatric Nosology has been released! I'm pleased to see that the cover is pretty close to my initial mockup. You can find the entire collection here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Entertaining and wide-ranging panel discussion on consciousness at the @crick.ac.uk hosted by @profbriancox.bsky.social and featuring me, @anilseth.bsky.social @kathaschmack.bsky.social and @cosmicskeptic.bsky.social Check it out, let us know what you think! www.lnk.to/AQOSConsciou...

Wonderful news and hugely well deserved, Nadine is knocking it out of the park! 👏👏👏

Thanks so much @thetransmitter.bsky.social for this Rising Stars of Neuroscience award! 🤩 And a big thank you to @smfleming.bsky.social for the nomination!!

Meet the Team: @ogulyurdakul.bsky.social is a PhD student at UCI. He's interested in how statistical signal processing methods can be applied in consciousness science and how different theories of consciousness intersect and differentiate. See www.arc-ethos.org/news, ogulyurdakul.github.io for more.

Happy to be on this new paper: "Identifying indicators of consciousness in AI systems" - www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... The paper expands on some of the methodological points made in the Butlin et al. 2023 report on AI Consciousness.

Join us Thursday Nov. 20 at 12pm (EST), Earl Miller will present at the MIT Consciousness Club: "Consciousness emerges from neural dynamics". Details available on the MIT Consciousness Club website: sites.google.com/view/mit-con....

1/2 if you found the Butlin et al report on consciousness in AI interesting, we hope you will enjoy this TiCS paper! We explain more about the indicators approach and how it can be applied when assessing C in AI.>> www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New preprint! What happens in the brain when people offload memories into external reminders? Using fMRI decoding, we found that the corresponding neural trace fades until it becomes statistically absent. osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵...

My commentary on @anilseth.bsky.social's BBS article: philpapers.org/rec/MICBOF. We should bet on functionalism.

Consciousness science as a marketplace of rationalizations my commentary on @smfleming.bsky.social and @matthiasmichel.bsky.social's thought-provoking BBS paper, and more generally about the field. osf.io/preprints/ps...

This is a big one! A 4-year writing project over many timezones, arguing for a reimagining of the influential "core knowledge" thesis. Led by @daweibai.bsky.social, we argue that much of our innate knowledge of the world is not "conceptual" in nature, but rather wired into perceptual processing. 👇

New post in @jocnforum.bsky.social by Early Miller @earlkmiller.bsky.social: "Principles for proper peer review" doi.org/10.21428/8e6...

What a lovely 'spotlight' of @talboger.bsky.social's work on style perception! Written by @aennebrielmann.bsky.social in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social. See Aenne's paper below, as well as Tal's original work here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It was a pleasure publishing with CommsPsychol in the RR format. Highly recommended! 🌟
