The call for commentaries on our BBS paper is out now (deadline October 15): shorturl.at/Hu3Yu. In the paper (shorturl.at/4Rbk6), we provide recommendations and outstanding issues about designing experimental paradigms, analyzing data, and reporting the results of studies on unconscious processing 👇

Very glad to see this paper out, beautiful work by the great @francoisstock.bsky.social , @nfaivre.bsky.social , Michael Periera et al. It’s been a pleasure to play a (very small :-)) part in this project 🙏

Our #sEEG study is now published in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/eIkoG! 🧠
Key finding: We discovered neural evidence accumulation for visual perception that's independent of report preparation—recorded from >3000 channels across 3 experiments!

It was a true pleasure to work on this piece with @niccolonegro.bsky.social. I learned A LOT about possible justifications for inferring consciousness in other systems/organisms. I hope you will enjoy it too!

@ronyhirsch.bsky.social beautifully presents her new results on tilt adaptation in the visual periphery AND outside focused attention at #iVSS (work with Walter Sinnott-Armstrong) 👏👏👏

Over 2.5 million Israelis joined today’s anti-Netanyahu protests, organisers estimate. 300,000 are now in Tel Aviv's Hostage Square. (Haaretz)

One of the biggest advances in #consciousness science is using brain scans to detect awareness in unresponsive people, researchers say. I wrote for @nature.com about these techniques and the growing efforts to test animals and AI for signs of an inner life.

The quest to detect consciousness — in all its possible forms

Insights from human brains might inform how scientists search for awareness in other animals and AI.

Proud of the Israel Young Academy, that like many others in Israeli academia sends a clear message to our government - against which many of us have been protesting for 2 years: END THE WAR. Now

@gennadiy.bsky.social is presenting his work on the @arc-cogitate.bsky.social data. And he is positioned in the shade, so it’s another motivator to come :-)))

Generally, an *excellent* symposium with @iberent.bsky.social , Clara Colombarto and @davidchalmers.bsky.social. Wonderful talks and discussions by all speakers 👏👏👏 #ASSC28

Liad Mudrik @liadmudrik.bsky.social · Jul 9

@matanmazor.bsky.social is giving now one of the best talks I’ve heard at ASSC meetings, suggesting that dualists are perceived as warmer and more ethical than physicalists, and that this might drive dualistic intuitions. Brilliant!!! #ASSC28
