Please help if you can!
If you don’t have the means to donate, even a quick share would mean the world to my pup & I. ❤️‍🩹 Ninook lost her ability to walk this weekend, but a simple (yet expensive) surgery can restore it. I got her when I started this PhD program & she motivates me to finish it. Thank you for your help.
Hi everyone. A grad in my lab (@rachaelkee.bsky.social) could use your help. Her dog needs surgery. If you can, even a little help goes a long way gofund.me/0ebf78a49

🎶 New paper 🚨: Perceiving Creativity in Novel Musical Sequences: An EEG Study.

Using a sequencer in the non-traditional Bohlen Pierce Scale, we show that perceived creativity correlates with EEG neural synchronization at the note rate and harmonics, and with sequence-level information metrics

Perceiving musical creativity involves multiple neural mechanisms underlying expectation and prediction error. Using the innovative Bohlen–Pierce Sequencer—a tool requiring no musical training—we fou...

The ‘unsayable’ isn’t metaphysical; it’s neurocognitively grounded.
It’s the domain where feeling, embodiment, and prediction become meaning, without passing through symbolic language.

Rhythmic auditory stimulation, like drumming or binaural beats, can alter consciousness. This review links isochronous rhythms to thalamo-cortical entrainment, resembling psychedelic and psychotic states.

Rhythmic auditory stimulation has been used across cultures to alter consciousness, yet its neural basis remains unclear. Our review suggests that rhythmic sounds induce absorption and relaxation. We....

The brain tracks time across multiple scales via neural dynamics, enabling mental time travel, a uniquely human capacity to recall the past and simulate future events. Coupled with language and spatial reasoning, this ability shapes cognition, culture, and beliefs in supernatural forces.
Does Anybody Really Know What Time Is?
Yes, your brain does. It created it.
