New paper with Azenet Lopez in C&C: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #PhilMind #PhilConsc #Consciousness

I'm back from the dead to announce a paper that was published a couple of days ago and that I worked on. We're all very proud of this one. We elaborate on Varela’s neurophenomenology, proposing Bayesian mechanics as a generative passage between phenomenology and neurobiology.

Great to work with @franciscorr25.bsky.social and the Transmitter folks on this piece about markers of consciousness www.thetransmitter.org/consciousnes...

🚨 New article in #NCONSC! Deep computational neurophenomenology: a methodological framework for investigating the how of experience academic.oup.com/nc/article/2... A Bayesian computational framework to bridge first-person experience and brain activity @antoinelutz.bsky.social @hohwy.bsky.social

When you mind goes blank! 🧠🧪 Our review on mind blanking featured in Live Science! With the fantastic @ademertzi.bsky.social! www.livescience.com/health/neuro...

Does meditation just happen to address multiple types of suffering, or does its broad effectiveness hint at something deeper about the mechanisms of suffering or well-being itself? We address this in our new preprint! @rubenlaukkonen.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

My paper 'On the Explanation of Intentionality' has just been published in the Australasian Philosophical Review www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Ever wonder why a ventriloquist's dummy seems to talk, or why a rubber hand can feel like your own? 🤔 Our brains perform an amazing trick, merging what we see, hear, and feel into a single reality. But this process isn't always stable. A new theory on why. 🧵 1/7

📜🪇[PUBLISHED]: NEW PREPRINT!🪇📜 I am incredibly excited to announce that we have published our paper on how "Dynamical independence reveals anaesthetic specific fragmentation of emergent structure in neural dynamics" [email protected] @anilseth.bsky.social Barnett, Carter Strap in! 1/n

Contribute to #NCONSC, the journal of the @theassc.bsky.social, by becoming a reviewer! Our topic is wide (wider than the sky) so knowing all of you is impossible. To make things simpler, fill in this quick form to register your interest in reviewing for #NCONSC!

New MEG paper by @jhaarsma.bsky.social and @dotproduct.bsky.social‬! Same design and behavioural results as our 7T layer fMRI study (www.jneurosci.org/content/43/4...), but now shedding light on the temporal dynamics of the sensory signals underlying false percepts. #neuroskyence

New preprint modelling suppression depth in binocular rivalry and continuous flash suppression with Hugh Wilson, @macshine.bsky.social, & David Alais

New Episode! What is addiction, and how does it show up in everyday habits? Dr. Keanan Joyner (@keananjoyner.bsky.social‬ ) joins Ava & Beth to talk dopamine, disinhibition, and why addiction isn't just about choice. Plus: EEG bias, screen use & science with compassion. 🎧 Links below!

Our study using layer fMRI to study the direction of communication between the hippocampus and cortex during perceptual predictions is finally out in Science Advances! Predicted-but-omitted shapes are represented in CA2/3 and correlate specifically with deep layers of PHC, suggesting feedback. 🧠🟦

@monash-m3cs.bsky.social #neuroskyence

My new article 'Polysemy and Philosophy' is out in Philosophy Compass. It explores the signicance of polysemy in four strands of discussion in philosophy dx.doi.org/10.1111/phc3...

🎉 FINALLY PUBLISHED! 🎉 We outline how to capture the #emergent dynamical structure in #biophysical neural models. coauthored with a team dear to my heart; @thomasandrillon.bsky.social, @anilseth.bsky.social, Lionel Barnett, and Olivia Carter. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

Pleased to announce that @sdpbht.bsky.social, @lukaszwalasek.bsky.social, Feiyi Wang and I published this work in @pnas.org last month. A particularly intricate project I'm thankful to have been part of! Going from unstructured text to an attribute repr. of decisions. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

On this note, together with @hohwy.bsky.social, @corcorana.bsky.social, and @liadmudrik.bsky.social we wrote a chapter on some of the ways phil of science intersects with consciousness studies: philsci-archive.pitt.edu/23829/ It doesn't want to be comprehensive, there's much more to explore here

New systematic review just published from our lab, led by @joshkugel.bsky.social ! First review on psychedelic-catalysed insight — central yet under-researched process within PAT. In addition to comprehensively collating all research on the topic, this review provides fascinating new discoveries!

The first paper from my PhD has been published! Insights on Psychedelics: A Systematic Review of Therapeutic Effects www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

so, so excited to share our new theory which endeavours to answer why depression and poor metabolic health go hand-in-hand: "An interoceptive model of energy allostasis linking metabolic and mental health" 💪🧠🔋 @saramehrhof.bsky.social @hugofleming.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

Great piece by antipodean philosopher extraordinaire @timbayne.bsky.social - including lines such as "the scrotumtightening sea" (though to be fair that's a quote from Joyce)

Top-down prediction signals from the medial prefrontal cortex govern auditory cortex prediction errors doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... #neuroscience

This paper is pretty incredible! Simultaneous invasive recordings of cortex and thalamus *in humans* during a visual awareness task strongly suggest that HO thalamus plays a gating role in awareness. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
