Last month Dawkins declared Claude conscious and was mocked. @garymarcus.bsky.social cleverly called it The Claude Delusion. My (and Nagel's?) take: Both are wrong for the same reason. Here's why the question of machine consciousness will never be settled scientifically. arxiv.org/abs/2606.00226

Beta rhythms sending top-down feedback to refine perception. Olfactory bulb-cortex oscillations encode perceived odor intensity rather than concentration journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... #neuroscience

Scientists at Firmenich buff.ly/jq1TyYa and now Givaudan buff.ly/u2gP5Ow report several olfactory receptors that appear to map cleanly onto specific odor notes (earthy, grapefruit, woody, etc.). 🧪

New year, new preprint out! 🧨 'Respiration facilitates behaviour during multisensory integration' www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Great team effort w/ Andrea Zaccaro, Mauro Gianni Perrucci, Marcello Costantini, @danlikesbrains.bsky.social @fraferri.bsky.social #Neuroskyence #Interoception

Just a whiff of certain smells can instantly take me back to my childhood... Read a new Q&A with Joan Tarrida Vidal about the lasting cognitive effects of smell: #scicomm #neuroscience #science

I recorded a step-by-step tutorial of programming experiments in PsychoPy for undergrad thesis students in my lab. Sharing it here for anyone new to programming in psychology, or those transitioning to PsychoPy from other software. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMJX...

🧠👃 Can a _brief smell_ change how we remember something seconds later? We used EEG + memory testing to show that odors trigger sustained brain activity—and shape memory for events happening after the smell disappears. #Neuroscience #Olfaction 🧵Thread (1/6)

🚨 New preprint alert! Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory. Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory. 👇 Highlights (1/7):

🧠🚨 How does the brain represent what we see? Is visual input transformed to form these representations in similar ways across people and even AI models like DNNs? We explore these questions using fMRI and large-scale representational alignment analyses. 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2507.13941 Thread👇 (1/8)

Very happy to announce that the latest work "Anticipating multisensory environments: Evidence for a supra-modal predictive system" from @alepebel.bsky.social @fuentemilla.bsky.social and myself has been published in Cognition! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I am excited to share the findings from our lab's first-ever study on odor, titled 'Odor-induced persistent neural activity in associative encoding in humans.' biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Very excited to share the “The Segregation-To-Integration Transformation (SIT) Model of Memory Evolution”, with @fuentemilla.bsky.social
