Excited to share my first doctoral paper which was just published at Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences!
doi.org/10.1111/pcn....
In this research letter, we showcase our take on the "Synthetic Image Evolution" method, in which we use genAI and evolutionary algorithms to...

1/ I'm excited to share recent results from my first collaboration with the amazing
@anayebi.bsky.social
and
@leokoz8.bsky.social
! We show how autonomous behavior and whole-brain dynamics emerge in embodied agents with intrinsic motivation driven by world models.

My perspective in
@thetransmitter.bsky.social
on why emotion research feels stuck and how we might move forward—by focusing on how the brain uses internal brain models to shape emotional processing across species.

Why emotion research is stuck—and how to move it forward
Studying how organisms infer indirect threats and understand changing contexts can establish a common framework that bridges species and levels of analysis.

Super proud of this collaboration with rockstar Ryan Raut - born out of playing in the sandbox in our last year of grad school! Multi-scale brain activity can be predicted from a simple measure of arousal like pupil diameter. Out with linear causality, in with dynamic systems to explain neurobiology

Arousal as a universal embedding for spatiotemporal brain dynamics - Nature
Reframing of arousal as a latent dynamical system can reconstruct multidimensional measurements of large-scale spatiotemporal brain dynamics on the timescale of seconds in mice.

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection.

Interoceptive Ability is Unrelated to Mental Health Symptoms: Evidence From a Large Scale Multi-Domain Psychophysical Investigation
Interoception-the sensing and perception of the internal viscera-is widely cast as a transdiagnostic mechanism linking brain-body interaction to mental illness. Prevailing models propose that altered ...

Emotions are reactions to situations we encounter in daily life. In our new paper in Psych Review (
psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...
; with
@oisinryan.bsky.social
and
@fdabl.bsky.social
), we take a first step towards building a generative model for emotion dynamics based on this simple principle 1/4
