The brain information is coming to get you!

cool paper about information decomposition in visual cortex activity 👇👇👇

A must-read for all those into neural dynamics and the functional role of neural oscillations. Here, Andres Canales-Johnson et al. convincingly show that gamma oscillations may not have the functional role that many researchers in the field believe them to have.

Announcing our new study of dynamics of natural brain modes and relations to phenomenology during jhana advanced meditation Delighted to share our new paper in Cerebral Cortex entitled: “Investigating the complex cortical dynamics of an advanced concentrative absorption

Some weeks feel like months in crypto...this was one of them. From the The White House Crypto Summit to the CFTC CEO Roundtable and the sheer amount of news announced (hooray for National Cryptocurrency Association!), it’s been quite a few days. There’s been a lot of talk about what this White House

to predict V1 activity, nonlinear feature complexity is all you need

This is it – the moment we’ve been waiting for. The SEC will drop its appeal – a resounding victory for Ripple, for crypto, every way you look at it. The future is bright. Let's build.

Our scientists with over 150 collaborators have released the largest functional map and wiring diagram of the brain to date – seven years in the making. Today’s 1.6 petabyte release marks a historic day for neuroscience. This moonshot milestone will further efforts towards

Firing rates in visual cortex show representational drift, while temporal spike sequences remain stable sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Great work by Boris Sotomayor and with Francesco Battaglia

Announcing our new paper investigating brain connectivity in absorption meditation, now published in Cerebral Cortex, titled: Advanced concentrative absorption meditation reorganizes functional connectivity gradients of the brain: 7T MRI and phenomenology case study of jhana

What do Cambridge University and David Lynch have in common?🤔 Interest in #Transcendental #Meditation! 😮 Out of all the unexpected links, would you have thought that our Department's work will feature in an article on David Lynch's legacy?! 👏 Andres Canales-Johnson #Psychology #Science

Lead by the great Jérôme Lecoq, our monomental review on predictive processing is finally out. 50+ researchers, experimentalists, and theorists worldwide created a uniquely integrative, crowd-sourced, large-scale scientific review. Enjoy! arxiv.org/abs/2504.09614

I decided to use the long weekend to port my Bayesplay Bayes factor #rstats package to #python (the R package also powers the General Bayesian tests in JASP). Here’s an example of how to compute a Bayes factor with a normal likelihood and truncated normal prior.

"Psychedelics are a major factor related to risk. Our research found a 205% increase in the risk of suffering related to altered states among those who have used psychedelics."
