How individual consciousness works – and makes us unique A "The Conversation" article (with Peter Coppola) on a Communications Biology article we wrote recently. theconversation.com/how-individu... #Consciousness @cneurodept.bsky.social @medcambridge.bsky.social

How does the thalamus support consciousness? Our new study uses resting‑state fMRI to show nucleus‑specific thalamocortical connectivity changes during anaesthesia and in disorders of consciousness. #Neuroscience #Consciousness #fMRI #Thalamus academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...

What makes brains (un)conscious? We provide new answers—and a universal mammalian blueprint for information processing—in a cross-species study of humans, macaques, marmosets & mice. Exploring convergent breakdown of integration in: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Led by @loopyluppi.bsky.social

Everything you ever wanted to know about anaesthesia but were too afraid to ask. Presented by the always amazing @claudiahammond.bsky.social feat. @brucebiccard.bsky.social @estamatakis.bsky.social, Jennifer Hunter & me! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

A pleasure to join a BBC world service The Evidence panel at @wellcomecollection.bsky.social on anaesthesia & consciousness. Great discussion with @drkevinfong.bsky.social @brucebiccard.bsky.social & Jennifer Hunter, expertly chaired by @claudiahammond.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Consciousness is personal. Awake story listening fMRI shows that default mode network dynamics diverge across individuals, supporting personal experience, while auditory & attention networks stay aligned, underpinning shared experience. #Neuroscience #Consciousness www.nature.com/articles/s42...

In an article for Frontiers in Science that ended up taking almost five years to compose, @anilseth.bsky.social @liadmudrik.bsky.social and I take stock of consciousness science, consider avenues of progress, and ask “what if we succeed?” www.frontiersin.org/journals/sci...

We are happy to announce the full programme for #ASSC28 #ASSC2025 is now live at: assc2025.gr/programme/fu...

Congratulations to the winners

Just one month to go until ASSC 2025 @assc28.bsky.social. @ademertzi.bsky.social, Eleni Vasilaki, Symvoli.com and I are excited to welcome everyone to cccc.gr/en. Pictures below are from the conference dinner venue at lyrarakis.com/en/home. #consciousness

In addition to causing unconsciousness, anaesthetics temporarily disrupt memory formation in a reversible manner. We explored the hippocampus’ role in this process. www.bjanaesthesia.org/article/S000...

For those interested in registering in tutorials, tomorrow the registration page will contain information about which tutorials will take place in the morning and which in the afternoon.

We aim to begin sending acceptance letters for oral and poster presentations on Wednesday, March 26. Nearly there! #ASSC28 #ASSC2025.

10 days left for abstract submission @assc2025 #consciousness assc2025.gr

#ASSC2025 #consciousness #ASSC Following a number of requests, we are announcing a deadline extension for paper submission. You can now submit your abstract for ASSC 2025 here: assc2025.gr/submission

First thing of 2025 is to make sure that the #ASSC2025 this July is in its best shape! Together with Emmanuel Stamatakis, Eleni Vasilaki, and, from the SYMVOLI Conference Management team, Vicky Papadimitriou and Anneta Pavloudi. Stay tuned for an exciting scientific and social program! #consci
