Many researchers claim that “the feeling that our entire ‘subjective visual world’ is richly coloured…must be an illusion” (e.g. Chater, 2018). Our just-accepted Stage 2 Registered Report results show that that’s not quite true: osf.io/yuq2v 1/n

Exciting day for me - Lars Chittka and I have been awarded a grant of around $1m by Open Philanthropy to look for markers of sentience in insects, and we are recruiting *TWO* postdocs. The ads are here, and please DM or email if you have questions: qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies…

Rapid invisible frequency above 50Hz has proven a powerful tool in MEG studies on attention and reading. @TamasMinarik has uncovered the optimal parameters when at @thechbh (manus was in review in NI before the journal changes...): doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

10 days to apply to join us in this post-doc to study visual consciousness using a combination of psychophysics, M/EEG or (real-time) fMRI, ML & Python 👇 UPDATED LINK to APPLY HERE!! shorturl.at/qGHU3🧠📈 PLEASE RT!

On my way to Marseille for #SNL2023 SNL Annual Meeting ! 📍Excited to share my work on sensorimotor integration in speech perception using EEG🧠 Come visit me at poster C81 on Wednesday📆

Great article by Simon Brown about subjective inflation and overflow debates. Perceptual experience doesn’t have to be sparse just because it’s not 100% reliable.

Excited to share our latest paper in iScience journal with Matteo Lisi, @iris_groen & TessaMarlijnDekker We found profound differences in how children and adults can use prior knowledge to perceive hidden images ... cell.com/iscience/fullt… 1/6

Our new sEEG study is out on BioRxiv: tinyurl.com/4afh3b9n! Using 3 face detection experiments and recording from >3000 channels, we found a neural code that reflected evidence accumulation for conscious perception and perceptual confidence! 👇

Congratulations to newly minted Dr Max Levinson PhD Max Levinson, The Neuro Integrated Prgrm. in Neuroscience McGill University ; onwards to his next scientific leg with stellar Biyu Jade He NYU Langone Health ! 💥👏🥇

📢We are ready to welcome the next set of talented postdocs for the 2024-25 NYU SPiNES lecture series! Come share your #neuroscience, received feedback & network with us. Applications from women and underrepresented minorities encouraged. Apply by Aug 1: bit.ly/3ZC32wz

🚨new paper! 1️⃣ We continue our journey to discovering more about our individual neurophysiological traits extracted from remarkably short brain recordings—asa 30 seconds—this time in older individuals and patients. The Neuro McGill University Short 🧵 thelancet.com/journals/ebiom…

I'm very fond of JM Coetzee's "The Lives of Animals", one of the best pieces of writing in animal ethics of the last 30 years, and freely available online too (tannerlectures.utah.edu/_resources/doc…). It has some wonderful passages, such as (1/2):

Cross-regional similarities in aperiodic dynamics? Connectivity related to cognition and age? Come see my poster, “Functional Connectivity in Aperiodic Brain Activity at Rest” (1649), tomorrow and Thursday at #OHBM2024 to learn more!

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Excited to share Max Levinson’s latest work on how pervasive sensory sampling shapes stable, detailed perception. Discover the visual illusion of filling-in and how it’s influenced by micro-saccades. Check it out! 👁️✨ The Neuro McGill University McGill Medicine and Health Sciences

Check out our new preprint w/ Sylvain Baillet 🕊️ - only certain visual features determine the impact of microsaccades on illusory perception 👇
