New Perspective out in @natmentalhealth.nature.com! We consider why neuroimaging analyses struggles to predict adolescent mental health, discuss approaches for improving prediction, and provide open-source implementations and tutorials: www.nature.com/articles/s44...
can i repost this 1000x please?
learning to develop "good" research questions is so important, and so undercut by the "move fast break things" vibe coding mentality.
(yes, i also vibe code... for weekend projects!)
shameless plug for my recent paper on this: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Residents of a small Wisconsin town just passed a first-of-its-kind referendum on AI data center development.
Tax incentives for future data centers will now require voter approval.
Kudos to these residents for taking on Big Tech. Never doubt your power to change the system.
Awesome news!!! Congrats Jorge! Let<s celebrate soon I hope!
When reading a line like "the glow of the flame briefly illuminated his face", most readers tend to build an image in their mind. 🧠
People with aphantasia, however, report that they do not. We wanted to know: Does this change how they physically read stories? (1/5)
When we see something that's moving, our memories about it end up projected forward in time: We remember it further along than it was. In a new paper in 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, out today and led by @dillonplunkett.bsky.social, we demonstrate that this happens even when there is 𝙣𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙤𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧.🧵

does someone good at coding & analysis want to work remotely w/ us in the coming few months (before end of 2025), as a paid consultant? project will be on neurofeedback (fMRI, ECoG, calcium imaging). we'll work towards developing the experiments & analysis pipelines together. if so pls DM me ur CV🧠📈

Perceptual Metacognition Beyond Confidence -
a little commentary piece by Tomoya Nakayama & yours truly (on @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social, Thomas von Rein, @peterkok.bsky.social, & @smfleming.bsky.social’s recent Neuron paper)

electrical stimulation to the dlPFC can alleviate neuropathic pain, but only if we hit the exact right spot

After five years of confused staring at Greek letters, it is my absolute pleasure to finally share our (with @smfleming.bsky.social) computational model of mental imagery and reality monitoring: Perceptual Reality Monitoring as Higher-Order inference on Sensory Precision ✨

Thrilled to share our new paper in Nature Human Behaviour!

We show that combining biological 🧬 and psychosocial 📋 data offers a much stronger, more reliable path to predicting pain and diagnosis. 🧵
"... supporters of GNWT called IIT a pseudoscience. Such language has no place in a process designed to establish working relationships between competing groups"
i totally agree w/ the 2nd part. but we're not part of that process, nor the said competing groups ...

i have uploaded this preprint a while back, but hadn't promoted it directly here. in this piece i explain why i can no longer recommend trainees to participate in my former home field.

Fetuses have the right signatures according to IIT for consciousness, especially if they're premature and male (apparently): www.nature.com/articles/s44...
There are consequences of IIT in the real world. For real people. It clearly already has the juice to be a practical concern.
i used to have blog on consciousness. i just uploaded my final post there, in which i responded to Alex Gomez-Marin & Anil Seth's recent commentary on the scientific status of IIT.

so long, folks.
the world is going nuts. pls take care.

LLMs have shown impressive performance in some reasoning tasks, but what internal mechanisms do they use to solve these tasks? In a new preprint, we find evidence that abstract reasoning in LLMs depends on an emergent form of symbol processing arxiv.org/abs/2502.20332 (1/N)
New version of "the letter" in Nature Neuroscience. Like many others in the field, I signed because I believe that IIT threatens to deligitimize the scientific study of consciousness: www.nature.com/articles/s41....
🚀 Thrilled to share my first first-author paper, published in PCN !
We explore how our unique subjective experiences of the world affect mental health using a combination of psychometrics, NLP and genAI.

Let's do something fun! I have access to ChatGPT Deep Research. It will give you 10-30 page reports about esoteric topics by aggregating information from a few dozen sources, with citations. What do you want to ask it?
@alexanderhuth.bsky.social - in your amazing 2016 Nature paper u showed that semantic content as triggered by spoken words is broadly represented by pretty much the entire cortex.
if one did the same analysis w/ movies, would it be less widespread? 🧠📈 🧠💻

General ML question: If a high-dimensional model predicts the training set 100%, but generalizes to held-out data to a realistic degree (e.g. an r2 of 0.1-0.2), is it overfit? Or is it only overfitting if it fails to generalize?
My article "A comprehensive assessment of current methods for measuring metacognition" is finally out in Nature Communications 🎉 If you work on metacognition and think you know the psychometric properties of your favorite measure, you may be surprised.
