Lab @ ESI Frankfurt. We believe the brain is noise-free. Or mostly-noise-free-ish. And that if we stare at behaving brains long enough, it will ALL MAKE SENSE.

Now out in NatComms: Mice and monkeys spontaneously shift through comparable cognitive states - and it's written all over their faces! (1/7).

Aaand we have our final line-up for ESI-SyNC 2025! Check it out! :).Join us for two exciting days of figuring out what altered states of consciousness do in (and for) your brain!.Go register (100 Euro, free for junior researchers):.

What shifts in our brain when our consciousness shifts? On Sept 8-9, we will explore this question at ESI-SyNC 2025, with exciting talks, posters and discussions on the neural dynamics of altered consciousness, from psychedelics to near-death experiences and meditation. (1/2)

Chocolate consumption enhances cognitive function. There is powerful correlation between chocolate intake & the number of Nobel Prize recipients.

Sweet, sweet review by the awesome @AnneEUrai on the beautiful mess that is behaviour. Also, best abstract ending I've seen in a long time:.'There is probably no such thing as stable behavior.'.Check it out!.

The one clear difference we found between species? Monkeys stick to each face state more consistently, while mice bounce around between states more often and more randomly. (6/7)

This relation held on a single-trial level: Just by looking at their faces, we could predict reliably if mice and monkeys were going to succeed in the upcoming trial - and how fast they would do so (5/7)

Over time, different facial features were most predictive, forming alternating ‘face states’. Amazingly, these face states mapped neatly onto trial success, even though the model didn’t know trial outcomes! In short: Facial expressions track cognitive performance states (4/7)

We then analysed their facial expressions pre-trial to predict their reaction speed per trial. First things first: it worked! Facial expressions predicted upcoming reaction times - in monkeys and in mice! (3/7)

The way we process the world keeps spontaneously shifting - from focused, to daydreaming, to hasty, and so on. How do such spontaneous cognitive shifts operate across species? To find out, we let mice and monkeys play the same immersive VR foraging task. (2/7)
