My UCLA work comparing entropy-based and spectral EEG markers of consciousness by challenging them with unusual EEG patterns in genetic disorders. tl;dr entropy beats spectral even when cortical dynamics are very abnormal

Here is the call for papers for a special issue on Infant Consciousness that I am co-editing with Sascha Fink and @joel_frohlich to be published in the journal Philosophy and the Mind Sciences. Submissions are due by October 15th 2025. ≠PhiMiSci https://t.co/YxkR5rXW1w

Interested in fetal and infant brain development? Join our symposium at #OHBM2025 in Brisbane! 🎙️ Speakers: Joel Frohlich @joel_frohlich Sahar Moghimi @SaharMoghimi1 Francesca Garbarini @ManibusLab James Roberts 🗓️ Friday, June 27 🕒 3:45–5:00 PM 📍 Room P2 (Plaza Level)

📰Our new research on how and when the infant human brain becomes synergistic is out now in @CommsBio! In this work, we used information theory to analyse dense EEG from preterm infants recorded during 33-45 weeks. https://t.co/RxRuDesILo Key findings are in the thread⬇️

Why is everyone seeing drones/UFOs/UAP these days? Predictive processing theories for perception may address the root cause, which we build on in a new @arxiv preprint👇 cc @MickWest @erikphoel @anilkseth @hohwy @AdamFrank4 @bsgallagher @marcwittmann https://t.co/bGqe8SJYUK

Delighted that our symposium on #infant #consciousness with @joel_frohlich @cpassosf and Topun Austin got accepted for @ASSC2025. Thank you to @estamatakis and @ADemertzi for your tremendous organizing efforts! Can't wait for Crete!🌞🏊

The second Floatation-REST study from my @IGPP_Freiburg lab as @PsyArXiv preprint, with Iraklis Pantazis. Participants report a stronger feeling of afterglow as measured with an afterglow inventory, more state mindfulness, and more interoceptive awareness https://t.co/SgmSlWQGFV

When a scientist retires, they should publish all of their unsuccessful grant applications. It is shocking how many good ideas are never funded and therefore dropped.

not this shit again

What a beautiful cover showcasing the artistic brain sculpting that takes place during pregnancy. 🤍🤍🤍

When does the first spark of human consciousness ignite? | By @joel_frohlich We can’t ask babies what they’re feeling, but ingenious new methods are shedding light on the origins of subjective awareness https://t.co/cSSR1zvxtx (via @psyche_the_mag)

Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS makes an appearance during a rare break in the clouds ... look for the comet while you still can! Getting fainter each night. #comet #CometC2023A3

Which preprint server has the fastest time from manuscript upload to DOI minting?

The FDA just rejected MDMA as a treatment to assist psychotherapy for PTSD. In my new Substack, I discuss how blinding of these trials could be improved. Hint: use a psychoactive 'placebo' to improve blinding. https://t.co/RijxxmQsuH

We are excited to announce the Maui Strong Fund of the Hawai‘i Community Foundation has granted $238,000 to the Maui Calm project to cover our operational costs for an entire year! The funds will be awarded as soon as the float facility arrives on Maui. https://t.co/kst8HYcuOS

Check this out! The #NorthernLights were even captured last night in Northern California. This timelapse video was captured up at Castle Lake with Mount Shasta there in the distance. Beautiful! #CAwx #AuroraBorealis #ShastaClouds #StormWatch12 ✨ 📹: Casey Codianne

Excited to share that our new paper on time perception and interoception with @marcwittmann and @ValdasNoreika is now published in @SfNJournals !1/9 #Neuroscience #Interoception #Timing https://t.co/aVSc8IYDkg

@PessoaBrain don't listen to chalmer! he's a fake and a charlatan who is exploiting apostrophe confusion to get credit for all my ideas!
