I moved to California and couldn’t help but go to Burning Man, pretend I surf, wonder about conscious robots - and start a company. This week, the team and I launched pixelblot.ai: a fast, privacy-first way to prove you’re human online. We’d love to hear your thoughts and experience. I’m human, btw!

Thanks Ben ... It was great to meet you and to learn about all the cool & important things you are doing!

I am very excited to share our new preprint together with @Isabella Goodwin, @Kelly Diederen, @Emily Hird,
@veithweilnhammer.bsky.social, and @Marta Garrido! Where does predictive processing stand in psychosis research - revisiting Sterzer et al (2018) seven years later. 🧠🔍?

This is a super exciting opening with the best mentor you could ask for!

Thanks a lot to my coauthors, Marcus Rothkirch, Deniz Yilmaz, Merve Fritsch, Lena Esther Ptasczynski, Katrin Reichenbach, Lukas Rödiger, @philcorlett.bsky.social, and Philipp Sterzer, as well as for the generous funding by @leopoldina.org!

New paper in @brain1878.bsky.social: Healthy people under S-ketamine, an NMDAR antagonist, and people living with schizophrenia, a disorder associated with NMDAR hypofunction, spend more time in an external mode of perception - where noisy sensory signals override knowledge about the world.
