Congrats to @ZhangChuyin ! This is our latest PREPRINT from our lab. While it originated as a reply to a critical paper, it ended up with a nice paper with philosophical claim on how to (and how not to) measure experience and new analysis methods of free-report based data! bsky.app/profile/zhan...

New #preprint out! In this paper @naotsuchiya.bsky.social and I take a look at the current debate on theories of #consciousness from a #meta-theoretical standpoint, and we argue that there is an ongoing process of #schismogenesis in consciousness science. [1/n] www.researchgate.net/publication/...

This paper would not have been possible without - the vision and commitment of Nao Tsuchiya for open science (@qualiastructure.bsky.social)! - the tenacity of William Wong and the rest of the core team! - the generosity of all the researchers who could contribute their data!

💤🧠🧪 New article! 🧪🧠💤 After years of effort led by @qualiastructure.bsky.social (Nao Tsuchiya and William Wong), Jenny Windt, Katja Valli, Valdas Noreika and @rherzoga.bsky.social, the Dream database is now published in @natcomms.nature.com **A dream EEG and mentation database** rdcu.be/eAwni

only less than 7% of data marked as “available upon request” is actually accessible upon reasonable request by researchers, according to a recent estimate Gabelica et al "Many researchers were not compliant with their published data sharing statement". J Clin Epi 2022

Dream start for database that aims to improve our understanding of conscious experience in sleep Free link to the paper in Nature Communication is rdcu.be/eAwni !
