Happy to share our new pre-print "Attention reshapes the information dynamics of thalamic and cortical prediction-error learning" led by the great Juho Äijälä, with @happieheads, @Kai_J_Miller, @dora_hermes, @drrobinince, @ABlenkmann , @TrikBek, Max Garagnani. Thread below👇
We've just published a small opinion piece in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, arguing for the under-estimated utility of resting state neuroimaging data, given exciting new methods to analyse it. Work led by @loopyluppi

One of my PhD students got 1st prize in the #ASSC29 poster competition in Santiago, Chile! Very well deserved Julia Rathmann-Bloch!

ASSC29 starts today in Santiago, Chile!
We kick off with registration from 8:30–17:00 and four tutorials from 10:00–13:00.
Opening Ceremony begins at 15:00, followed by Lucia Melloni’s keynote, Kia Nobre’s Presidential Address, and the Welcoming Reception.
Welcome to #ASSC29!

Thrilled to share our @NatureComms article: "Broadband synergy versus oscillatory redundancy in the visual cortex", a cross-species research effort led by Louis Roberts, with @martin_a_vinck, @dora_hermes, @drrobinince, @Kai_J_Miller, @happieheads, @uran_cem. Thread below!
Our paper just out on how emergent group behaviour can solve a complex task, and make people feel more connected in the process, in Collective Intelligence: shorturl.at/xDKBv
(1st author Madalina Sas, with @PedroMediano @_fernando_rosas Hillary Leone and and others)
New preprint out, where we show that neural complexity (CSER) tracks fine-grained perceptual clarity within wakefulness: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Congrats to primary author Alberto Liardi & co-authors @PedroMediano @_fernando_rosas

Integrated information theory - the good, the bad, and the misunderstood. New preprint, a long time in the making, led by Adam Barrett alongside a terrific crew: @MilinkovBorjan @PedroMediano @_fernando_rosas @DanielBor Lionel Barnett, & me. arxiv.org/abs/2604.11482

We have a new preprint! Alzheimer's patients have a radically different neural informational signature compared to healthy controls, suggesting diminished consciousness, and a skewed cognitive profile. Mammoth, and important, work, spearheaded by @KeenanDown
Happy to announce this new preprint!
In it, we use info decomp (ΦID) on fMRI in Alzheimer's and MCI to explore how info-dynamic representations change.
AD saw big decreases in synergy ('deductive' information) and increases in redundancy.
Find it here👇

How do some people keep their minds sharp when they get older, while others experience cognitive decline? In our new paper, we examined cognitive reserve, which is the brain’s resilience in the face of challenges: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #neuroscience #cognition #aging 1/7
My friend 林居正 (Chu-Cheng) has created an amazing Lego Science Lab! And if it gets over 10,000 supporters, it actually gets sold! Please add your support to this brilliant project: beta.ideas.lego.com/product-…
Most important video to watch in 2025? ((And, for my fellow consciousness scientists, Q: is consciousness nececessary for AGI?)) youtu.be/5KVDDfAkRgc?si=Lxiz…

Exciting news! Our preprint, "Informational Complexity as a Neural Marker of Cognitive Reserve", is now available! Here, we explore how neural complexity relates to cognitive reserve. Check it out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #CognitiveReserve #Preprint #Neuroscience

(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret.
I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT.
How do you compare different types of (PID) information across complex systems (e.g. brains)? We have a new robust method to do this! See preprint, with @_fernando_rosas @RCarhartHarris @rhizoqualia and @PedroMediano arxiv.org/abs/2410.11583
