New preprint! We are pleased to share our Hierarchical Bayesian framework for Interoceptive Psychophysics! Implemented in rstan, we provide a complete suite of tools spanning model comparison, parameter recovery, multifactor designs, power analysis, and more! 🎯 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Every time I go somewhere, one song that reminds me the place keeps playing in loop in my mind. This time, Lisbon (by Angra) in Lisbon 😁 #satisfaction

It's a pity we have to write conclusions for papers and can't just fade them out, like musicians do.

Neuroscientist @nicolecrust.bsky.social argues here that by treating brains as complex systems, neuroscientists are finally making progress on mental health treatment, including utilising psychedelics to enhance brain plasticity as part of therapy - bit.ly/4lkS0pR #philmind #neuroskyence #NeuroSky

We are very excited to share the conference schedule and book of abstracts for this year’s ISPSM! 💫 Link to schedule: tiny.cc/ISPSM2025sch... Link to book of abstracts: tiny.cc/ISPSM2025boo... #philmind #philsky

BIG DAY 👍

🧠 New paper on breathing and the brain, out now @plos.org Computational Biology! 🫁 "The respiratory cycle modulates distinct dynamics of affective and perceptual decision-making" doi.org/10.1371/jour... We show how respiratory 'tidal computations' alter our decisons!

A good reminder that THE BRAIN 👏🏼 IS CONNECTED 👏🏼 TO THE BODY 👏🏼 100% OF THE TIME 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 (please repeat loudly for the people in the back) #medsky #neuroskyence 🧠🧪

Living in Europe for 6 months now has made me slightly forget how difficult things are for Latin Americans. I was so excited about ASSC being in Chile, only to realize how expensive it would be for Brazilians to go. I truly hope they consider this on the value of the "low-income countries" fees.

Hoje abrem as inscrições para nosso curso de inverno, não percam!! #consciência #fflch #usp #neurociência

Ok, I finished my series of conferences (ICCS, ASSC, Intrepid, CPConf, and ISH). It was incredibly intense and wonderful! Now it is time to organize my thoughts, my reading lists, and my projects.

Tenho o prazer de anunciar nosso Curso de inverno da FFLCH-USP 2025: Teorias Contemporâneas da Consciência 🧠🗣✨ O curso é introdutório, online e gratuito. Ocorrerá entre os dias 12/08 e 04/09. O período de inscrição é do dia 30/07 ao dia 31/07! Mais informações aqui: sce.fflch.usp.br/node/6277

How to think about the mind starting from biology? Our workshop with Eva Jablonka, Denis Walsh, Carl Craver and Hugh Desmond was incredible. I am honored and pleased to exchange ideas with brilliant minds now from the Biology field.

Cambridge Elements are free to download until 7/25-check out my little book How To Study Animal Minds. I had fun writing this one, and I'll never forget how nervous I was in front of a bunch of scientist friends, including Sara Shettleworth, hearing their thoughts on the draft! tinyurl.com/3yy6a52c

If you are interested in pursuing a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, specially targeting conscious vs. unconscious processing, contact me. We are recruiting 🙏🧠 please RT

Here's your chance to download not only my book 'Slime Mould and Philosophy' , but download ALL the books in Cambridge Elements Philosophy of Biology series from the 20th to the 25th of July for FREE! I highly recommend Jan Baedke's (2025) book 'The Organism'. cup.org/4kEgivL #ISHPSSB #philosophy

I'm happy with the feedback on my poster at the Computational Psychiatry Conf. I felt that people enjoyed having someone looking at the broader implications of predictive models. I also felt that I made scientists critically think about their work today so my job is done.

If you're at my talk at UCL shortly, you'll hear all about my "AI consciousness centrism". But if not, maybe you'd like the slides, which are here: drive.google.com/file/d/1GerN...

O projeto de lei que proíbe o uso de animais vertebrados vivos em testes de cosméticos e perfumes, ingredientes ou produtos de higiene pessoal foi aprovado pela Câmara dos Deputados. Como o mesmo texto já havia sido aprovado pelo Senado em 2022, o projeto segue para a sanção tiny.cc/0b5p001

The illusionists @keithfrankish.bsky.social

We just launched "Are Ant Colonies Conscious? Collective Minds and Philosophical Implications". First book fully focused on collective consciousness -with bold chapters by Luke Roelofs, E. Schwitzgebel, Rupert, Maria Iennaco, José Camilo, and more. Free access here: www.editorafi.org/ebook/c128-c...

😍

Andy suggested escaping the Cartesian theater. I suggested burning it with illusionism in 2022. Funny contrasts Also funny that we are finding out the power of philosophical language games in our own minds, and I've written about it in my masters. Good to keep close to Dennett's point of view

Bought myself a surprisingly good tourist-trap cheese called "Cretan White" in English. In my home state, we have a very similar cheese called "Frescal" or "Queijo Minas", but it is usually made of cow milk. I think this one here is made of goat milk.

We are looking for early carrer researchers who want to share their fascination for Neuroethology by introducing their work.

Muito feliz de compartilhar o lançamento deste belíssimo livro, organizado por Anderson e Luiz Paulo. Também fico feliz de ter contribuído com um capítulo, em co-autoria com Daniel Friedman. O livro é gratuito e está aqui: www.editorafi.org/ebook/c128-c...

Every time I need to explain my research ideas or active inference to someone, I feel like doing this:

My student sent me this. I am not prepared for Gen Z studying neuroscience 💀.

Does the culture you grow up in shape the way you see the world? In a new Psych Review paper, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I tackle this centuries-old question using the Müller-Lyer illusion as a case study. Come think through one of history's mysteries with us🧵(1/13):
