🙏 It's official: I got a professorship at the @UMontreal and will start my own lab at @CR_CHUSJ in September: the Precision Psychiatry and Social Physiology team @ppsp_team / ppsp.team !!!

🧠💬 New #review on #hyperscanning & therapeutic alliance! After >15 years of developing this tech, I'm glad to see how brain-to-brain sync may explain some mechanisms of psychotherapy, but we're just getting started. Future: more data, multimodal & groups sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
🧠🤖 De + en + de gens parlent à ChatGPT pour du soutien psychologique. Mais peut-on confier sa santé mentale à un chatbot ? 📺 Petit témoignage dans ce reportage TV youtube.com/watch?v=etrvaC… #SantéMentale #ChatGPT #IA #Psychologie
📚 Le livre “Le hasard: Littérature, arts, sciences, philosophie” est en #OpenAccess ➡️ books.openedition.org/editionscnrs/8… 📖 Vous pouvez lire notre Chapitre 5 sur “Créativité et contingence. Susciter le hasard à travers les arts”

♥️🔄♥️ Interpersonal Cardiac Synchrony During Emotional Sharing Between Strangers 🔎 Even brief emotional exchanges can align heart rhythms between strangers 📄 A new preprint led by the outstanding Lena Adel (@anelleda_) & Viktoriya Manova osf.io/preprints/psya…
Proud of Pascal Notsawo, presenting at #ICML2025 about our research on #Grokking. He demonstrated how this phase transition to generalization depends on training objectives & regularization, and how standard metrics may overlook key dynamics. 📍Check out Poster W-811 on July 16!

Every frontier AI system should be grounded in a core commitment: to protect human joy and endeavour. Today, we launch @LawZero_, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing safe-by-design AI. lawzero.org
🥳Nice! Our project “Towards a Quantum #NeuroIA” just got seed funding from @ai_UNIQUE! After a year in stealth w/@AnnemarieWolff, our benchmarks show #quantum speedups for brain data simulation & analysis using @qiskit + @IBM QS1 —> Next: #OpenSource tools & intl. collab 🇯🇵🔄🇨🇦

🎙️J’ai eu le plaisir de passer au What’s Up #podcast pour parler d'#IA : de la conscience artificielle aux applications concrètes en #Médecine. Une belle discussion dans une ambiance décontractée et bien québécoise ⚜️ Bonne écoute!👂📻 youtube.com/watch?v=YcyNFa…
Join us at the @CR_CHUSJ & @Mila_Quebec for harnessing the power of #AI and Electronic Health Records (#EHR) to advance Precision Medicine for mothers and children! #JobAlert linkedin.com/jobs/view/4231…
#CIFARWinterSchool applications are now open! Learn from top researchers studying the neuroscience of consciousness in a fully-funded, 3-day event for senior PhD and post-doctoral fellows, hosted by CIFAR and @TempletonWorld. Apply by June 23! cifar.ca/next-generatio…
📝New preprint! ⚡️Kudos to @Quentin_Moreau & @V_Chamberland for co-leading this work combining elegantly neuromodulation and social interaction with an artificial agent in real-time! Excited about our @PPSP_team starting to release empirical works in #Social #NeuroAI 🧠~🤖
Our latest work at @ppsp_team is now available on @biorxivpreprint! ⚡🧠~🤖 We tested whether online non-invasive brain stimulation could modulate real-time human~machine social interactions. 📄 Read the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread 🧶 ⤵️
👏 Congrats to Adrien on his 1st first-author PhD paper! Great collaborative effort with Sarah Lippé & @JacquemontSeb teams at @CR_CHUSJ where we show how computational methods can uncover multiscale relationships in the brain and their role in understanding neurodevelopment 🧬🧠
🎇 Excited to share our latest work in @Transl_Psych! 🧬 We explored how Copy Number Variations (CNVs)—genetic deletions and duplications—disrupt EEG brain dynamics in children. 📜 Read the paper: nature.com/articles/s4139… 👇 Follow the thread for more info
We are excited to share the pre-print of our work: “Cortical differences across psychiatric disorders and associated common and rare genetic variants.” doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… Huge thanks to all the participants for their data. And to the amazing co-authors. A summary 🧵
Our work out as pre-print. Cortical differences across 8 psychiatric disorders and associated common and rare variants. I will be presenting this as an oral presentation @SOBP this Thursday afternoon. Thanks to all the participants, and co-authors. A detailed 🧵 coming soon.
"Collective Decision Making by Embodied Neural Agents" — Now out in @PNASNexus More info in @CouckeNicolas' thread 🧵👇
How can agents with simple bio-inspired brains make decisions together? This is what we simulate in our new arXiv preprint: “Collective decision making by embodied neural agents”
Excited to reveal SPHERE (Social Physiology & Human-like Embodied Response Engineering) — our @PPSP_team joins @Inria through a joint team with Justine Cassell's team in France! We will cross-pollinate multibrain neuroscience, computational psychiatry & embodied AI #SocialNeuroAI
