The age of spiritual machines: Language quietus induces synthetic altered states of consciousness in AI Shifting CLIP/FLAVA's attention away from language simulates ego-loss & unitive & minimal phenomenal states via semantic category blurring 🍄🧘 arxiv.org/abs/2410.00257
When Abstract Becomes Concrete: Naturalistic Encoding of Concepts in the Brain 🎞️👀💬🧠: Yet more reasons to consider context, dynamics, & the whole brain in our understanding of the neurobiology of language. Amazing & beautiful work @ViktorKewenig. 👏🥂 elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…
V happy that this study is now published in @eLife with nice reviews and a wonderful editorial assessment. Quantifying multimodal context (of spoken language) in naturalistic stimuli is not an easy task, but we hope this can provide some inspiration. 🧵elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…
🧠 Exciting opportunity! Join our newly founded Social Computational Neuroscience lab @EP_UCL as research assistant! 🔬 Combine ultrasound brain stimulation, neuroimaging, computational modelling to study social decision-making. 📒 tinyurl.com/y7ua23rp ⏳ 16 July 🔁 Please RT
New paper led by @EP_UCL PhD student @MaxMa1er. We develop a JDM risky-choice task with a novel feature how decisions matter across trials. If you get unlucky, all bonus is wiped out and you cannot earn more (but still have to finish the study). #CogSci2024 @cogsci_soc
New Cogsci preprint, "Introducing the Extinction Gambling Task," with Adam Harris, David Kellen, and @HenrikSingmann. We introduce a risky choice task in which participants can lose their (entire) bonus pay when choosing the risky option and drawing the extinction event.
For the next @UCL_EP seminar on 14/05, Prof @HeleenASlagter invites us to reconsider how attention is typically approached: rather than as a mere sensory filter but as a relational process that optimizes agent-environment interactions based on priors. buff.ly/3wjdcta

For the next @UCL_EP seminar @j_greenwood presents research demonstrating how crowding in the visual scene affects peripheral and foveal vision in typical and disordered sight, and how this can be modelled by 'pooling' mechanisms for scene 'gist' encoding buff.ly/3UtiImh
We all have a blind spot in our visual field, yet, visual perception appears continuous. Returning to @EP_UCL, Sam Schwarzkopf (@sampendu) joins us to discuss how our brains 'fill in' the visual scene across this gap. 16/04, 1PM GMT 👉 buff.ly/3xk9IGH
