Bringing together 2 major theories of consciousness - Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT) - in an unprecedented collaboration. Here’s the story of how we advanced theory testing in neuroscience

As a PI, most of my lab skills have deteriorated. I barely know how to do anything in the lab, but I'm pretty good at multi-factor authentication, paperwork, electronic signatures... I also tell myself that I'm good at thinking about the big picture, whatever that means.

How does information processing during sleep really changes? Brain activity might be higher but brain information is lower and redundant. Great and early discussions with @christine_blume and wonderful work from @canalesjohnson conceptual analysis. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Congratulations @Basak__TURKER for the Prix de la Chancellerie 2024 !

I am extremely proud of Dragana's work. This tour-de-force demonstrates the importance of multimodal assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness. Thanks to all the EraBrain consortium partners behind this project. @ERANET_PerMed

El @ivan_mindlin, con @ETagliazucchi... Desarrollan una herramienta informática para simular intervenciones farmacológicas en pacientes con trastornos de la conciencia conicet.gov.ar/desarrollan-he…

Amazing work! Congratulations @LeahBanellis and @micahgallen

What happens when our stream of consciousness turns inward, towards the body? Our new fMRI study of 536 individuals finds that 'body-wandering' is associated with distinct patterns of brain connectivity, physiology, affect, and mental health: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We grieve the passing of Dr. Yves Frégnac. Yves has shaped the study of cortical processing and plasticity. He heralded interdisciplinarity and was one of the founding fathers of our institute. Our thoughts go to his family and to his friends in the community and beyond.

A 1,000,000th reminder the crucial importance of basic research. Ambros and Ruvkun were looking into understanding nematode genetics and development, not looking for a drug, and ended up opening an entire new area in biology

In our new @NatureComms paper, we investigate the visual system's priorities for extracting meaningful information from faces and bringing it to conscious awareness. We use a new tachistoscope that enables visual presentations as short as 0.002 ms: nature.com/articles/s4146… (🧵👇)

❤️ El hermoso discurso de WINONA RYDER en la entrega de la estrella del paseo de la fama a TIM BURTON:

Que el fracaso total de Bibi en todos los frentes posibles no tape que Hamas es un grupo de asesinos terroristas que tiene que desaparecer. Y que le hagan una huelga general al fracasado es posible porque Israel es una verdadera democracia.
