Today, @ will examine how cardiac signals during sleep unlock insights into sensory integration, predictive coding, and embodied cognition beyond brain activity. RSVP here:

In this lecture, @TzvetanPopov challenges the premise that EEG components underpin cognition, arguing that they reflect oculomotor action. Waves beyond waveforms, enable collective behavior, ranging from neurons to animal societies.​ .RSVP:

Alpha power reduction is the most reliable neural signature of the psychedelic state. It has been found to correlate inversely with the intensity of psychedelic-induced visual hallucinations and subjective effects. But what if eye movements primarily drive these effects?.
