ETHOS had our first in-person meeting on Friday, September 12th in Brussels. It was exciting to see all the experiments coming together! www.arc-ethos.org/news

Xueyi Huang (working with @jorge-morales.bsky.social at Northeastern) presented her work on Experiment 2A at the Vision Sciences Society meeting in Florida. Read the abstract here: jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx...

I'm looking forward to "What is consciousness?" tomorrow 9/9, 2:45pm @crick.ac.uk, w/ @profbriancox.bsky.social @smfleming.bsky.social @kathaschmack.bsky.social & Alex O'Connor @cosmicskeptic.bsky.social www.crick.ac.uk/whats-on/a-q...

[email protected] @onemorebrown.bsky.social and @axc.bsky.social have published a theoretical paper titled “Computational higher-order theories of consciousness” as a book chapter. See the preprint here. philarchive.org/archive/FLECHT

📢 Job announcement: Two (!) 3-year postdoc jobs in our lab at UCL 📢 🧠💫🔊 We are looking for postdocs interested in the abstract mechanisms underlying social cognition. Modelling, fMRI and non-invasive ultrasound, a new deep-brain stimulation method. Please RT www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

🚨Amazing opportunity: position available for a new associate/full professor at the FIL @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social @uclbrainscience.bsky.social! Do you have a neuroimaging-focused research program? Get applying! 🚨 www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Our funders @templetonworld.bsky.social‬, have highlighted ETHOS on their website. See their article here: www.templetonworldcharity.org/blog/how-eth...

Meet the Team - Ataol Burak Ozsu Ataol recently joined @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social's Imagine Reality Lab as a research assistant. He will study higher-order representations of imagined, perceived, and unconscious stimuli using MEG. See the ETHOS website for more: www.arc-ethos.org/news

Meet the Team - Michaela Klímová Michaela is a postdoctoral researcher at Northeastern working on Experiment 2. She is interested in how the visual system transforms the basic building blocks of vision into complex representations. For more information see: www.arc-ethos.org/news

Meet the Team - @angelashen.bsky.social Angela is a PhD candidate at the University of California, Irvine. She's broadly interested in investigating the behavioral and neural relationships among visual perception, metacognition, and visual attention. For more info: www.arc-ethos.org/news

Meet the Team: Karen Tian Karen is a Ph.D. student at Boston University working on Experiment 1. She studies visual perception, with a special interest in its interplay with visual attention and their dynamics. For more details, see www.arc-ethos.org/news or www.karentian.com

Meet the team: @aliekhlasi.bsky.social is a post-doc working on Experiment 2 at UCI. His current research focuses on applying machine learning to evaluate theories of consciousness using fMRI data. For more, see www.arc-ethos.org/news or his website aliekhlasi.com

Meet the Team: Peter Lush Peter is currently a Senior Research Fellow at Sussex, where he is testing imaginative suggestion for changes in visual experience with Zoltan Dienes for ETHOS Experiment 3. www.arc-ethos.org/news

Meet the Team - Xueyi Huang Xueyi is a PhD student at Northeastern. Her research focuses on visual mental imagery, perception, and the shared mechanisms between them. She is currently working on ETHOS Experiment 2 and investigating the visual properties of mental images. www.arc-ethos.org/news

Applications close Friday 28th!!

Meet the Team - Kiarra Garcia Kiarra joined ETHOS in July 2024 as a research assistant. She is pursuing her B.S. in Cognitive Science at the UCI. She is currently working on behavioral and fMRI studies that decode vividness in imagery and perception.  www.arc-ethos.org/our-team

Meet the Team: @benjyb.bsky.social is working as a Postdoctoral Fellow on ETHOS. He is helping @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social test the richness of higher-order representations using MEG. See more about Benjy here www.arc-ethos.org/news and on his website benjybarnett.github.io

Announcing the 4th UCL-PSL Consciousness & Metacognition Summer School, 14th-16th July 2025 Small number of in-person places available (priority for @ucl.ac.uk and @psl-univ.bsky.social) + online participation Lots of exciting speakers in the works, more TBA soon! metacoglab.org/summer-schoo...

JOB ALERT: We are recruiting a research assistant in the Imagine Reality Lab to work on a project using MEG decoding to distinguish between different theories of consciousness 🧠 Get in touch if you have any questions about the role's scientific details. Please share! www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...
