Well, now! Nature over Nurture: Functional neuronal circuits emerge in the absence of developmental activity biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Now that I've had a chance to see peoples' questions about @eLife's new publishing model, time for a thread for a thread with some details and answers. elifesciences.org/articles/83889
Why do mental images look different to real images, and to hallucinations? Our new #preprint answers these questions by considering a simple premise: mental imagery never occurs in a vacuum. Check it out: doi.org/10.1101/2022.0… With @amandarob10 & @CompCogNeuro #mentalimagery
A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened
Very excited to share this new publication! Many thanks to all my collaborators for this work.
Very excited to share this new publication! Many thanks to all my collaborators for this work.
I'm very pleased to share that my recent work with the wonderful @Becca_Keogh_PhD, Sarah Robuck, and @ProfJoelPearson on episodic autobiographical #memory and #imagination in #aphantasia is out now in Cognition (authors.elsevier.com/a/1fHsW2Hx2pisH). Thread below!
Philosophy thought experiments illustrated with #dalle, a thread 🎨
everyone works to make figures that are easy to understand, but this one took me a minute (I thought it was a graphics mistake) and that made the point even stronger
I wrote about the very public disagreements over the recent Nature Medicine paper, and how the strong reaction to how this paper was presented in the media, and talked about by scientists is reflective of a larger critical turn in psychedelic research. vice.com/en/article/4aw…
"Eye-contact affects synchronization between brains more than within brains, demonstrating that eye-contact is an inherently social signal." —Social synchronization of brain activity increases during eye-contact nature.com/articles/s4200… Congrats to @caroluft, @Ioanna_Zioga_ & al!
We performed the same electrophysiology/behavior experiment 92 times in 9 different labs spanning multiple countries. Here's what happened. What now?

Our new series that breaks down complex brain science into relatable content for anyone to understand! Narrated by PhD Candidate @thomasjpace, Part 1 looks at the divided brain and how our conscious experience of the world is pieced together. youtu.be/qhYCTOYxLG4 #scicomm
