New article with @oudietted.bsky.social and the @dreamteamicm.bsky.social Dream-like mental states can occur during wakefulness Published now in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports... Congrats to Nicolas Decat!

New paper (with lots of cute animal videos!) Ever watch your dog "run" while asleep and wonder what’s going on in their brain? In Current Bio we suggest that those twitches aren't just leaky dreams—they’re a vital maintenance system for the most precise movements www.cell.com/current-biol...

Our paper is out today!!! (not an April fool's day joke) Congrats to authors @azulsilva.bsky.social, @belalima-paiva.bsky.social, Ele Pronier, and mostly to the amazing scientist and human being who led this project @facuumm.bsky.social #neuroskyence #hippocampus www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"I dream therefore I sleep"

Perceived #sleep depth is generally thought to reflect reduced brain activity. @giuliobernardi.bsky.social &co show this relationship weakens during #dreaming, suggesting that dreaming helps sustain the subjective experience of deep sleep @spacelabimt.bsky.social @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4v8OxkH

Join us in Paris Sleep Day, 19th of May, a free one-day symposium dedicated to connect early-career researchers working on sleep in Paris and build a long-term local support network. Registration and submission details are available here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Hope to see you there! ✨

New preprint! with @niccolonegro.bsky.social and @liadmudrik.bsky.social doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/ve6c5_v1 Consciousness seems central to moral status debates, from AI to animal welfare. But is consciousness necessary for moral status? Is it sufficient? We surveyed >1000 people to find out. 🧵 1/n

57 days, 21 hours and 20 minutes. They did it! They just popped the loop. What an adventure!

Happy to share new preprint on wake slow waves in older adults with subjective cognitive decline, with my awesome postdoc mentors @thomasandrillon.bsky.social & @oudietted.bsky.social at @institutducerveau.bsky.social Thanks @alzheimer-recherche.org for support! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Check out this new model from @ivanmindlin.bsky.social, @rherzoga.bsky.social and friends showing that a local homeostatic inhibition allows for a broader repertoire of states, including spatial mosaics of wake and sleep-like activity. Could this be the basis of the phenomenon of local sleep? 🧠🧪💤

📄Very happy to share our new pre-print!! 🧠 We introduce a homeostatic inhibitory plasticity rule into the Dynamic Mean Field (DMF) model which stabilizes firing rates and expands the model’s dynamical repertoire—for example, enabling slow-wave activity. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 1/5

After 35 days at sea, Alexia and her team are passing Cape Horn! Looping the loop!!!

This is the first article I read after my wife gave birth. It goes without saying it resonated deeply with what she told me of her experience and what I witnessed. A beautiful and important piece. Have a look!

Ever had someone ask "What are you thinking about?" and your honest answer was "Actually, nothing"? In this essay for @psyche.co, I explain why "mind blanking" is more than just a glitch: it’s a window into how our brains toggle between being awake and asleep. 🧠🧪💤 psyche.co/ideas/what-y...

Infra-slow brain rhythms found in sleep in lizards, humans, rats and pigeons! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Congrats @antbergel.bsky.social!

That's just amazing! Very neat analysis of the current debate and a strong proposal to overcome the apparent aporia. Well done!

🎊📜 NEW PAPER 📜🎊 Can we seriously build synthetic consciousness? And if so, where do we start? I’m super excited to present recent publication in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews where @jaanaru.bsky.social and I confront this challenge head on. 1/n

A hippocampal ‘sharp-wave sleep’ state that is dissociable from cortical sleep www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you analyse time-resolved data (M/EEG, iEEG, pupillometry, force recordings…) and feel limited by cluster-based permutation tests (CBPTs); especially when trying to determine when an effect starts or ends; you may want to try our new R package: lnalborczyk.github.io/neurogam/ #rstats #brms #EEG

"Research will be shared exclusively outside traditional journals" This is quite a statement!

Not even a week after departure, they are already at the equator! What a team!

Very excited to share the first preprint of my PhD thesis! Together with @tschreiner.bsky.social, we investigated how respiration coordinates signature neural expressions of successful remembering during memory retrieval. 🫁🧠 🧵(1/8)
