My translation (EN - PT) for the Renewing Phenomenological Psychopathology project is finally out // Minha tradução saiu, oh glória. @matthewbroome.bsky.social @ljspencer.bsky.social many many thanks 🙏🏻 periodicos.ufsm.br/voluntas/art...

This is how democracies defend themselves. Le pen in France, bolsonaro in Brazil a lesson for the USA. Trump should never have been allowed to run again.

Such a readable and fascinating argument by @jessiemunton.bsky.social of @cambridgephilos.bsky.social To see a visual object is to see how it could be, not just how it is. #openaccess #philsky

“Traits” are central units of biological analysis—but how should they be individuated, and relative to which ontogenetic frame of reference? In my new paper, I argue that answering this isn’t easy—and matters more than it seems. 📃👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #HPBio #evosky #evodevo

Two nice things happened to me recently: 1. Last Thursday, I successfully defended my Ph.D. thesis. I would like to thank mainly Professor Ghisoni and @openshaw.bsky.social, who supervised my research. The members of my committee and the friends I made along the way were also crucial.

The paper is now out: doi.org/10.1007/s112...

Every biological entity is unique; no two are exactly alike. Is this a trivial observation, or a profound metaphysical claim about the living world? Read my new paper & find out! It deals with Mayr's "Population Thinking"; one of the most familiar yet tragically misunderstood ideas in all of biology

Excited to share this project specifying a research direction I think will be particularly fruitful for theory-driven cognitive science that aims to explain natural behavior! We're calling this direction "Naturalistic Computational Cognitive Science"

My paper "Success atomism: the accuracy of episodic memory and its relevant elements" has been accepted for publication in Synthese. Please, check it out on my website. (1/4) josecarloscamillo.weebly.com/research.html

ej green and i wrote a paper, which has been accepted for publication in nous! i won't lie to you, the paper is quite long and i'd say a bit dense, but here's a link to the full paper and a (...long, sorry) thread to give you a feel for the thing philpapers.org/rec/WESPAO-2

Get it while it's hot: BJPS Associate Editor Dana Tulodziecki's (@193.bsky.social) addition to the Cambridge Elements series, Underdetermination and Theoretical Virtues, is out now and free #philsci #philsky #hps

📣 My latest coauthored paper with Wendy Parker "Understanding Data Uncertainty" is finally forthcoming in /Studies in History & Philosophy of Science/: philarchive.org/rec/BOKUDU #philsci #philsky 🧪 #Data

Thrilled to see a news piece by @science.org on my recent paper. By analyzing p-values across >240k papers, the study suggests that the rate of statistically questionable findings in psychology has declined since the replication crisis began www.science.org/content/arti...

muito bom! todo filósofo que trabalha com psico ou outras áreas das ciências socias deveria ouvir.

I'm involved in this exciting new project. There will be 2 postdocs, one in Liverpool and one in Luxembourg. The Liverpool ad will be posted soonish. The Luxembourg one is here: recruitment.uni.lu/en/details.h...

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):

What does it mean to relive past experiences? How should the feeling of episodic memory be studied? Francesca Righetti is at The Memory Palace with some thoughts on how to use phenomenology to move forward on these questions. Check it out! #philsky #philscisky

Amazing!

I decided to make a youtube channel in which I introduce key concepts from causal inference in videos of roughly 10 minutes. The first episode "Correlation Does Imply Causation" is now online. Feedback would be very welcome. youtu.be/uIUKXY8_G-M

Out now in TiCS, something i've been thinking about a lot: "Physics vs. graphics as an organizing dichotomy in cognition" (by Balaban & me) relevant for many people, related to imagination, intuitive physics, mental simulation, aphantasia, and more authors.elsevier.com/a/1lBaC4sIRv...

Can't believe it's been a whole year since I made this. Thank you to everyone who's shared what it means to them seeing Pride represented with images from near and far, all across the universe. The original page was taken down, but can still be found on archive.org: web.archive.org/web/20250129...

O @pirulla25.bsky.social é uma das pessoas mais íntegras que conheço. É terrível que esteja passando por isso, ainda mais com a família dependendo dele. A recuperação deve demorar. Quem quiser entender ou puder ajudar financeiramente, segue abaixo. Quem não puder, a torcida por melhoras tb ajuda.

Douglas et al. shows that up to 99% of evolutionary change occur at branching points across genes, morphology, and language. A major step for punctuated evolution, aligning with our goal of a unified framework. @nilese.bsky.social @andrejpaleo.bsky.social #EvoBio #CultEvo doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

"Homem com H" vem mostrando uma sustentação melhor nas bilheterias brasileiras que "Karatê Kid: Lendas". Na última semana, o brasileiro teve queda de 46% de bilheteria e o americano teve 74%. Só que o brasileiro perdeu 60% das salas. E o americano apenas 20%.

When we communicate science, we often don't say where the resources for it come from. This is clearly a mistake: people consuming science should know who is funding it--and if that funding is being taken away. So, I decided to document the funding sources of every scientist mentioned in my book.

sometimes people get told their stuff 'feels grad student-y', which could mean lots of things obviously. here's one thing i think it often means, and something i think it's good to get a bit more thoughtful about as you move from writing seminar papers to writing things you want to publish (thread)

When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The belief that artificial consciousness is coming crucially depends on the assumption that consciousness is a computation. In this new paper, we'll try to convince you that consciousness cannot be a computation w Albert Gidon and M.Larkum www.frontiersin.org/journals/neu... #neuroAI #consci

Here's why he ranks among the greatest of all time.

The first of many papers from the Memory and Forgiveness project is now out at the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. Led by the indefatigable Gabriela Fernández Miranda, and with Matt Stanley, Sam Murray, and Leonard Faul, we systematically explored differences (1/n)

Latest papers: Arata Matsuda & Masashi Takeshita argue that restrictionism in intuition pumps faces the problem of over-restriction, and propose reformism as an alternative to deal with the deception doi.org/10.1080/0951...

Pessoal, venho mais uma vez pedir ajuda para bancar os gastos do tratamento oncológico do Bô. Ele tem mais 6 meses de quimioterapia pela frente e os gastos extras, sobretudo com transporte, estão muito altos. Quer nos ajudar? Qualquer valor conta! (e um RT também) 🍀 www.vakinha.com.br/5515311

super excited that the first paper from my PhD is now out! we develop a "philosophical toolkit" for computational cognitive modeling & use it to conceptually re-analyze a long-standing debate about evidence accumulation models of decision making 🧠📈 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

New article! How do biologists pursue generalizations given the heterogeneity of living systems? This paper examines diagrams and tables in review articles and discusses visual practices for generalizing while embracing differences. Forthcoming in Synthese philsci-archive.pitt.edu/25344/

Start of some nice info on macaque-mouse differences. This is why it's good advice to pick a species and stick with it when modeling.

A wonderful piece in the naturalistic section of philosophy compass, which I edit.

A tiny dose of neuroscience context: It's been shown that even the ventral visual pathway contains both object category information and category-orthogonal information (www.nature.com/articles/nn....), such as location, rotation, etc. How these coexist in one system was unclear (2/4) 🧠📈

New paper! @rewaniw.bsky.social, Clay Curtis, and I show that the way visual representations are routed through cortex when seeing vs. remembering affects their precision. We link this to behavior & show how task demand matters (👀 cool animation in 🧵) #neuroscience #visionscience #PhDSky 1/15
