The new era of sensory augmentation cacm.acm.org/news/the-new... "a visual implant could convey the overall spatial structure of a scene directly to the visual cortex, while a non-invasive sensory substitution device provides complementary information about texture, contrast, or fine details"
“The greatest challenge is that perception is not simply electrical,” said @ambermaimon.bsky.social.
“It’s not enough to activate the right neurons or reproduce the correct signal patterns. The information must be organized in a way the brain can interpret+integrate”

Can you find me 😉? It was a huge honor and an awesome academic adventure to be accepted to the CIFAR neuroscience of consciousness winter school in Cancun, Mexico. I leave with new ideas, collaborations, and friends ✨
Thrilled to have had the privilege of interacting with this outstanding group of young consciousness lovers at the CIFAR winter school! Huge thanks to the great organizers, Chris Krupenye, Catherine Duclos and Guillaume Dumas. And to TWCF! In the comment, a less dignified photo
