Are you sure there’s no mosquito in the room?
With @matanmazor.bsky.social, Chichi Dézier, @nfaivre.bsky.social & Louise Goupil, we study how we combine multiple sensory sources to be confident in presence and absence: While detection rely on one modality, confidence requires both channels to align!

#PhiMiSci published a new article in the special issue on structuralism: “Neurophenomenal structuralism and the role of computational context” by M. Paßler and A. Doerig.
It aims to challenges local structuralist theories that overlook the content-constituting role of computational context.

🥳Our review of intracranial EEG research on the neural correlates of consciousness is out in eLife: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...! We think these methods offer a unique window on consciousness!🧠 A thread 👇

Glad to share my first paper in postdoc! This was a huge undertaking by many people over the years. I hope you read it! But the short version is this: ACC integrates evidence from self experience and observed experience, and it weighs these sources differently by aligning readout more to the self.

Are we ready to tackle perceptual segmentation of natural scenes?

Finally the review on perceptual segmentation you’ve been waiting for!

Happy New year! Warm wishes to you all.

Sharing a recent paper in which we compared bodily and external agency using behavioral & EEG data.

Behavior looked similar across conditions, but Mratio did not correlate and neural signals differed — distinct processes?

🎉 Excited to share this! Low-level, naturally formed priors influence our perceptual inferences, but do they impact our confidence in the same way? With @elifilevich.bsky.social and @mamassian.bsky.social we found: they influence confidence even more strongly! More👇 1/5

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!

New from my lab: "Priors for natural image statistics inform confidence in perceptual decisions"

We used a natural image statistics approach to investigate the computations underlying perceptual confidence. 🧵

Thrilled to share a new preprint on Neurophenomenal Structuralism (NPS) by @adriendoerig.bsky.social & myself! We show why neural structures alone aren’t enough to capture conscious contents. We must consider computational context! (arxiv.org/abs/2412.20873). A Thread (1/15):

🎉 Excited that our latest paper, on touch and agency with @elifilevich.bsky.social and Anthony Ciston is now published in JEP:Genl!! 🚀

Lots of Oliver's blood sweat and tears in this new preprint. We found BOLD signals reflecting predicted-but-omitted shapes in the CA23 and pre/para-subiculum subfields of the hippocampus, as well as the parahippocampal cortex. #neuroskyence #compneurosky 1/2

Super excited to share the very first preprint from my PhD: Pre-stimulus alpha oscillations encode stimulus-specific visual predictions. [1/8] #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #compneurosky biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

A causal manipulation of prior beliefs influences the confidence we have in our decisions! Very excited to see this paper work published in Psychological Science. Get the final paper here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38427319/

Will I see something, and if so, what will it be? I am excited to share my very first paper, in collaboration with @jhaarsma.bsky.social , @smfleming.bsky.social and @peterkok.bsky.social. 🧵https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.02.22.581334v1

New preprint!!! doi.org/10.1101/2023...
We studied the role of tactile information in forming our sense of agency. The feeling that we are the authors of our actions.

(Spoiler alert ;) we argue for a role in shaping our experience of acting voluntarily)
