First time I share a time-slot in a conf with a minister (Rachida Dati, Minister for culture in France) 🤔
Celebration day for the 200 years of the Braille system, the universal tactile reading system for blind.
I will speak about how the mind and brain process this crucial cultural invention.

I’m super excited to finally put my recent work with @behrenstimb.bsky.social on bioRxiv, where we develop a new mechanistic theory of how PFC structures adaptive behaviour using attractor dynamics in space and time!

Might focused ultrasound one day replace DBS?

UK Scientists built a 256-panel focused ultrasound helmet that can precisely target deep brain regions. Using theta-burst TUS, they stimulated the LGN and found visual cortex activity with effects lasting up to 40 minutes.

Happy our commentary of the paper of @gvallortigara.bsky.social et al. as Editor's Choice in CerCo. We agree that the number sense (NS) is indeed likely innate but not grounded in vision because the NS is supramodal and develops in congenitally blind people.

The number sense: likely innate, surely not visual. A commentary on “Is there an innate sense of number in the brain?”
Abstract. Lorenzi et al. (2025) convincingly support the idea of an innate number sense. However, in their paper, and in most of the commentaries it trigge
