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/...

Have you ever felt like your surroundings look unreal? Our new Registered Report (accepted in Neuroscience of Consciousness) studied derealisation and shows that altered visual experiences don’t change how we assess vividness. To find our more: doi.org/10.31219/osf...

Thank you so much for having me!! I always have a blast chatting with @bethfisher.bsky.social and this time was no different! 💕 Also I loved your reflections in the end and how both of you have change your mind perhaps a bit through sharing your experiences with each other. So cool and precious!

We had a really cool chat about the Olo color and its implications for consciousness research. If you’re after an excellent summary of this paper, look no further! Angus did an excellent job 😎

Very happy to see this paper out in @pnas.org! 🧠This project was a result of collaboration with Charles de Dampierre, now CEO at Bunka.ai, and Catherine Tallon-Baudry, my PhD co-supervisor at @lsp-ens.bsky.social and LNC (ENS Paris). doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence

Last year IIT was branded as pseudoscience. Not with arguments or evidence, but with a now infamous letter. I believe that IIT is an important research program, but everyone can judge by themselves: Consciousness or pseudo-consciousness? By Tononi et al. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

⚠️🚨New @qualiastructure.bsky.social publication, by @gen21ka.bsky.social @arielzj.bsky.social @takeda @naotsuchiya.bsky.social and @oizumi! I think that the intuition to apply GWOT to Qualia will have significant and impactful consequences! Please share and follow the authors!

🗣️ Language is widely distributed throughout the brain 🧠 In a recent correspondence in @natrevneurosci.bsky.social, we suggest that there is no 'language network' in the brain. What appears as such is an inevitable illusion created in part by the methods we use. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Really amazing work from the wonderful @bethfisher.bsky.social et al !!

Check out this fabulous paper led by @bethfisher.bsky.social with @christopherjwhyte.bsky.social on optimism bias! @monash-m3cs.bsky.social

Ohh i have my fun fact tor the day! 😎

New preprint! ⬇️🤩 We find a reduced self-other distinction in psychosis 😶‍🌫️, including increased neural activity during self-touch 🧠, reduced latency differences already at the *spinal cord* level 😲, and diminished interoceptive accuracy 🫀. #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky

It’s so great to see Ariel giving this talk at the Royal Institution! He’s put so much thought and effort into writing his book and now it’s getting out there. Incredibly cool stuff

I understand there’s been a surge in Russian bot activity on Bluesky. A telltale sign of Russian bots is that they ignore the punchline of joke posts and write an earnest response to the joke setup. Please block anyone you see doing this on sight

It really was a pleasure to work with Will on this. Fascinating stuff, and I can only hope it keeps developing! So many more questions yet to be answered, and the ones we touched on here can surely be improved further. Can't wait to see where it leads 😊 Happy new year!

Research on infraslow oscillations during NREM sleep is definitely a hot topic ! 🔥 New paper making the link between norepinephrine oscillations and glymphatic clearance 🧠🚿 @cellcellpress.bsky.social @nataliehauglund.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Human cortical pyramidal neurons are larger, with more elaborate branching, and distinct nonlinear biophysical properties compared to rat cortical pyramidal neurons. Are they more functionally complex? Could that boost the human brain’s computational power? and is that what makes us human? (1/11)

Sample sizes in most studies are at least in part based on resource constraints, and this should be acknowledged. The next step is to evaluate the informational value, given resource constraints. Will we learn enough? The answer sometimes should be 'no'. online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

🎉 Our paper "Criterion placement threatens the construct validity of neural measures of consciousness" is now out in eLife! 🎉 TL;DR: Both simulations and empirical data show that you should not post-hoc sort neural data based on subjective measures of consciousness. elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

I made this for a 2nd-year cognition guest lecture at MAC and asked the class "How many of you see the dog?" and half the students raised their hands. I can't claim the idea as my own as I swear I had heard someone else had done it before but couldn't locate the image in 2002.

I really enjoyed reading this world view in Nature about the importance of exploratory research in the social sciences by @balazsaczel.bsky.social and am wondering what people think. Do you generally agree with his point? 🧪@natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

@christopherjwhyte.bsky.social 👇

Our account over here is still quite small but has been active >1 year. In the last couple of months, we appear to have seen about 10x more views from Bluesky than Threads, but Twitter still generates about 15-20x that again. However, we've really enjoyed seeing the quality engagement over here!

Amazing work from Brendan! Congrats @bendfulcher.bsky.social et al

This is fun. More of this please!

Inspired by @mariaa.bsky.social's custom feed for NLP papers, I created a custom feed for philosophy papers posted on BlueSky. It's not perfect, but it works decently well: bsky.app/profile/did:...
