I have no words of my own that could even come close to conveying what I have just seen and we have all just witnessed.
So I turn to the direct words of Ambassador Husam Zomlot, @hzomlot , Head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK. Listen carefully to his words:
“Israel media did not show the mass murder of Palestinian children and innocent civilians, or the mass destruction of Gaza. But Israeli media has no qualms about showing these savage images of Israeli occupation forces detaining and stripping civilians taken from a UN shelter in Gaza today. This evokes some of humanity's darkest passages of history. It is well past time that the world speaks as one and demands - and enforces - an immediate and permanent #ceasefire.”

🧵1/8 🚨 New #preprint alert! 🚨 This new study by @gershbrain and I is the first to directly test the predictions of our policy compression model, which describes how capacity-limited agents trade reward for simpler policies to reduce cognitive cost

An outsider's perspective: I respond to Tim Bayne’s article about whether the integrated information theory (IIT) of consciousness should be considered pseudoscience. doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/sjn9…

Paper is out @ScienceAdvances
Reconstructing visual illusory experiences from human brain activity | Science Advances science.org/doi/full/10.1126…
Lab's new preprint.
Can the perception of an illusion be materialized as an image from brain activity?

Excited to share that my PhD work is now published in @CellReports !
We showed that Drosophila dopaminergic neurons encode innate odor values and continuously update the values in a non-associative manner!!

As a member of ASSC and part of two TWCF-funded initiatives, I signed the IIT letter. I have some further thoughts on why I signed that I think are worth reading (apologies that this is long!) and worthy of further discussion:

📢I am looking for a postdoc to work on the cognitive neuroscience of self-beliefs at @InstitutCerveau 🤩🧠✨ - details here: marionrouault.weebly.com/upl… informal inquiries are welcome & RT is appreciated 🙏
Looking forward to this symposium! Hope to see many of you :)
To anyone at JNS meeting. I’ll be chairing a symposium on “Cross-species mechanisms of learning and adaptive behavior” tomorrow from 8:45-10:45 alongside @aure_cor. We have a fantastic selection of speakers including @BiancaASilva11, @AyakaKat0, and Ai Koizumi. Hope to see you!

Hey fellow researchers in @ArcCogitate, we @CA_Cushing @mocherkaoui have written this open letter to you psyarxiv.com/eygqk regarding the impact of financial COIs related to your project to hopefully start an open and constructive discussion with you.

beautifully written, thanks @smfleming. sums up very well the current state of consciousness research. the potential but also the issues.
This Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more

but... neither idea 'lost'! this is not what the preprint says, nor is it what was said in the event. your headline is irresponsibly inaccurate. i would hope for better in the future.

😀🎊 Woohoo! Now published in @CellReports! 🎆😀

How is ongoing visual experience represented?
Using intracranial recordings, we uncover distinct representation dynamics in the ventral stream and prefrontal cortex.

📣🥳 Thrilled to present our new preprint! 😊🎉
In this new ECoG study w\ @deouell, @edden_gerber & Bob Knight we show that sustained experiences are not represented by the magnitude of activity, but by the pattern of responses across sites!

"Every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years from 1964 until 1973, a planeload of cluster bombs was dropped on Laos by American B-52s. The bombing campaign was aimed at hemming in America’s enemies in neighboring Vietnam. The U.S. was never at war with the people of Laos, and the American people were largely oblivious to the bombing campaign in the country at the time."
80 million of these "bomblets" still litter the Laotian countryside. Over 1000 were killed from these decades old bombs in Laos between 2008 and 2022 alone!
Where's the accountability?

So you think peaceful protestors begging for action on #ClimateEmergency are annoying? Wait till what hit Zaragoza in northern Spain today, arrives on our doorstep
And yesterday, “Code Red” summer storm killed 2 in Amsterdam, shut down airport, trains
