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/_res…). It has some wonderful passages, such as (1/2):

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! 👇

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.neuroimage…

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

During experimental design, IIT proponents insisted on having participants merely watch long images, without checking what they were conscious of, or for how long. This is a regression compared to many previous designs, eg nature.com/articles/nn0701_7… or nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

As a member of @ArcCogitate’s Scientific Advisory Board, I stand by the project PI’s, co-investigators and their talented trainees. No human enterprise is perfect but this one is about advancing knowledge and the scientific praxis. This past pseudo-weekend has been exhausting.
1/ I clearly have a personal stake here, but irrespective of Cogitate, I feel sad by the damaging effect this letter will have on the field - from unneeded polarization to unwarranted bad reputation to the field at large. To the colleagues (and friends) who signed it, >>
