Excited to share the call for posters & registration for the 2nd XSCAPE Workshop: "Varieties of Externalism" !

📅 Friday, April 10th, 2026 — Gallery Room, Bramber House, University of Sussex

Registration is free but places are limited. 🧵

Keynote on #Hyperscanning at INRIA Paris last Friday, 15 years after my first work on the topic, right next to where it all started.

Beyond history, I shared our next steps: Clinical translation, Multimodal dynamical/info-theory integration, and #SocialNeuroAI! ... #StayTuned

🙌 Huge kudos to the team! 🙏 Grateful for support from
@ivado.bsky.social, @fondsrechercheqc.bsky.social, NSERC, @braincanada.bsky.social, & CalculQuebec/Digital Reseach Alliance of Canada.

📝 New paper: Towards Multi-Brain Decoding in #Autism

🤨 How do we scale #hyperscanning when multi-brain datasets are small?

💡Our team introduces a self-supervised learning on large single-brain EEG data to improve multi-brain decoding.

Amazing work, congratulations Chris!

🎊📜 NEW PAPER 📜🎊

Can we seriously build synthetic consciousness?
And if so, where do we start?

I’m super excited to present recent publication in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews where @jaanaru.bsky.social and I confront this challenge head on.

Do LLMs have stable personalities? We ran 2 million tests. (Spoiler: no.) 🧵

Paper accepted at AAAI 2026 - Alignment Track

Safe deployment requires behavioral consistency. We found persistent instability across scales, reasoning modes, and personas. ⤵️

Heureux de participer à nouveau à "La Science, CQFD" sur @franceculture.fr

Avec @giadapistilli.com, nous parlons d'#IA génératives devenues confidents ou substituts émotionnels, et des risques liés à la solitude et à la dépendance affective.

Congrats to the team for unveiling an original solution for hands-free #VR interaction. CyberFinger is open for developer evaluation on scicortex.com — A wearable that augments hand tracking while staying practical for keyboard-driven creators. Excited to see what the community builds with it!

Honored to speak at Ottawa about how Canada can lead in #NeuroAI. With world-class talent, trusted institutions, & sustainable infrastructure, we can build a federated approach to AI that protects mental health & strengthens our society. Thanks @braincanada.bsky.social for the invitation!

Delighted to share our new Perspective article @natrevneuro.nature.com, led by the great @edoardochidichimo.bsky.social : "Towards an informational account of interpersonal coordination". With @loopyluppi.bsky.social, Pedro Mediano, @introspection.bsky.social, Victoria Leong and Richard Bethlehem.

New study led by @quentinmoreau.bsky.social & @vchamberland.bsky.social and @ppsp-team.bsky.social 👏 We show how brain stim can shape social inference in human–machine interaction 🧠🤖⚡ New causal evidence linking rTPJ to Theory-of-Mind & Self–Other distinction, & path towards social #neuromodulation!

Thrilled to see this beautiful work out! Immense kudos to @ryssamoffat.bsky.social for leading this ambitious project and to @escross.bsky.social for the inspiring collaboration. Glad to explore together how inter-brain synchrony reflects our social bonds and their evolution across generations 🧠🤝🧠

We show effects of interpersonal synchronization of physiological rhythms on intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling: when we sync our breathing, our breathing–heart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship
