Nice Illustration that our visual system expects certain stereotypical poses and the incoming data is fit to that internal model.

Is there something special about an artist's brain? We might be able to answer this question with the help of people with neurodegenerative diseases. Find out more about the "Unlocking the Muse" project with Matthew Pelowski, Julia Sophia Crone and Blanca T.M. Spee: youtube.com/watch?v=J-EkfC…

In collaboration with the Medical University of Vienna, we are recruiting German-speaking, healthy participants for a clinical study on ketamine, hedonic experiences, and depression in Vienna. Please distribute!

Researchers, before & after multiple comparisons correction:

Our paper is out! Thank you, Joel Frohlich and co-authors for letting me be part of this! Was a lot of fun.

Very interesting talk about depression, ketamine & the brain today. Don't miss it! vhs.at/de/k/273629643

I think this is very important to raise awareness and start a serious discussion. I am not sure pausing development is a solution though since probably not all countries would commit. Thus, there's even more need for pushing consciousness research

I totally agree! Especially considering that there are not just 2 theories out there and even if - falsifying one (which btw hasn't been done either) does not verify the other!

Great opportunity! If you are interested in working at the University of Vienna as a PhD student investigating e.g. brain complexity using ultrasonic brain stimulation, psychedelics, and neuroimaging in my lab, apply here: jobs.univie.ac.at/job/University…

Precise targeting for TUS is crucial. However, images for navigation are often acquired in a different position even though positioning of the head has considerable impact on brain shifting; a problem which has not been discussed enough in the TUS community.
