My TED2025 talk "Inside the mind of a newborn baby" is live! I discuss new evidence of consciousness in newborns, and why this matters for medicine, ethics, and the science of consciousness. Hope you enjoy! @TEDTalks https://t.co/sFwDNwcXkN

The theater of the mind is what actually “sees” the world. The sense organs simply deliver data. In the case of images, arrive upside down and the brain reassembles and builds “reality” by using the most minimal data. When motion stops, perception stops: https://t.co/5eYpf59CoL

videos from the landmark NYU meeting on infant consciousness are now online! with @LorinaNaci, @ghisdl, tim bayne, @De_dicto, @AnnaCiaunica, @SidKouider, @joel_frohlich, @smatthewliao, @onemorebrown, many more. congrats @cpassosf for a great event! https://t.co/KAccxpqsSU

Very grateful to co-authors @FarnazDelavari @dvdevill @JoaoBiomed and @MeriBach; to @CIBM_ch for the constant support and to @snsf_ch for the funding. (3/3)

to study the functionally developing thalamus, we robustly parcellate this important brain structure to different nuclei based on the #BOLD #fMRI connectivity profile/preference of each thalamic voxel to 40 cortical and sub-cortical areas. (2/3)

LLMs aren't the only ones faking it 😂

“This suggests that the thalamus acts as a filter and controls which thoughts get through to awareness and which don’t” https://t.co/lpSaLY8SWb

an excellent @ScienceMagazine article on pre-natal consciousness, based on the recent NYU conference on infant consciousness. featuring thoughts from @cpassosf, @LorinaNaci, and others, with a cameo role for our survey of views on infant consciousness.

With the unchecked race to build smarter-than-human AI intensifying, humanity is on track to almost certainly lose control. In "Keep The Future Human", FLI Executive Director @AnthonyNAguirre explains why we must close the 'gates' to AGI - and instead develop beneficial, safe

Fantastic session on the neural correlates of infant consciousness with talks by ⁦@SidKouider⁩ Yusuke Nakashima Topun Austin ⁦@HamzaKebiri⁩ ⁦@NYU_Bioethics⁩ ⁦@nyuconscious⁩

Very much looking forward to present our work* in the MoroccoAI webinar tomorrow at 7pm GMT+1. Thank you @redouanelg and the @MoroccoAI team for the invitation! *: https://t.co/c895Mp1rka, https://t.co/Z1j8L7GclO & https://t.co/gHsF9nyIx9 @CIBM_ch @snsf_ch

Looking forward 🤩

Today, we are publishing the first-ever International AI Safety Report, backed by 30 countries and the OECD, UN, and EU. It summarises the state of the science on AI capabilities and risks, and how to mitigate those risks. 🧵 Link to full Report: https://t.co/k9ggxL7i66 1/16

This is amazing, wow @drmichaellevin

If you're hungry but too lazy to prepare healthy food, you'll consume junk food. If you're hungry for knowledge but too lazy to seek out the truth, you'll consume misinformation.

"If we create entities that are smarter than us, and have their own goals, what does that mean for humanity?... It's a race, and it's a dangerous race." In a recent interview with @CNBC, AI 'Godfather' @Yoshua_Bengio explains why governments must regulate the development of

The concrete indicator showing that we are not there yet in term of "respect of others" remain the patterns of whom interrupt whom during meetings. It is often quite bad even with otherwise very nice people.

The 2025 Gordon Research Conference on *Tissue Microstructure Imaging* program is out! This unique meeting format offers a unifying look at tissue microstructure based on #MRI, #US, #optics, #EM , #xray, #photoacoustic, etc. Join us *July 12-18*! And please RT! 🙏 More info 👇
