#ConSci
I am extremely proud of what Camilo, Moritz, and the whole team have put together for this year's Models of Consciousness #MoC7.
Stellar choice of topics and speakers, and an amazing social programme aimed at true exchange among participants.
Come join us! #ConSci Talk application is now open.
In parallel, new technologies, from AI-driven analyses to human brain organoids, are allowing scientists to investigate biological questions about language itself without subjecting animals to invasive experimentation.

Presentation title slide: 'Mind-body dualism as social signalling' by Matan Mazor, March 2026. Affiliated with All Souls College University of Oxford, Oxford Self-Modelling Group, and Experimental Psychology
Slide titled 'So, what is going on?' showing a diagram of the proposed model. Two inputs Attention Schema and Theory of Mind plus Intuitive Physics — feed into a central box labelled 'A private dualistic belief.' This connects bidirectionally with 'Public expressions of dualism,' which is also influenced by 'Social incentives' from above.
Thanks, @matanmazor.bsky.social, for a great talk on dualism as social signalling.
A question: can experimental methods approach moral belief neutrally, or do we always need an explicit translation framework between lived experience and measurement? Does method co-constitute what we find? #consci

Join us for an exciting cross-disciplinary experiment, which we hope will help establish a fundamental understanding of measurement in #ConSci. We look forward to an exciting and thought-provoking workshop!
A huge thank you to Alex Maier and @andrewyuanlee.bsky.social for co-organizing this!! 🙏
It's a great pleasure to announce a second workshop on questions of measurement!
While our first workshop was dedicated to questions of measurement in #ConSci, this workshop focuses on the foundations of measurement across the sciences.
Coming soon!

On Feb 23-24, I participated in the BAMΞ workshop “Towards a Measurement Theory for Consciousness Science”
Great discussions on how to relate phenomenology, measurement theory, and embodied experience in #consci research.
I shared some reflections here www.linkedin.com/posts/aleksa...
Yes.

Can there be multiple distinct mechanisms of consciousness, as some authors have recently suggested? And what would be the implications for consciousness research as a unified scientific endeavour? With Lukas Kob, we adress these questions in this freshly minted preprint

I cannot believe they keep organizing conferences in my own city. How am I supposed to justify flying somewhere, eating expensive cheese, and whispering "ah yes, ontology" in a dramatic accent? This is sabotage.

I'm very excited about the schedule of next week's workshop! 👇 Come join us via Zoom, in case of interest!

Got my first book review. This is the kind of feminism I like :)

Every time I start writing a paper, I have this idea that's gonna be a major revolutio , and then it ends up as a major revision.

In my former life, I studied linguistics and actually taught Ancient Egyptian for a decade. I have just one conclusion: hieroglyphics are waaaay easier than phenomenological papers.

I do not write papers. I slowly negotiate with footnotes.

Bummer.

My research method is thinking very hard and then adding
"however" until it looks rigorous.

In case you're interested in foundations of measurement in #ConSci, you're cordially invited to join our upcoming workshop!

A huge thank you to my co-organizers @ronyhirsch.bsky.social and @jolienfrancken.bsky.social on this occasion! #ConSci
My new favorite reaction when I read another paper about AGI today.

Was asked for a project pic, so I took a most professional one. I call this one "What is it like to be a cat" (2026). The paper is in purr review.

Academic platonic dating should be normal: I like your work. Let us emotionally coauthor something.

If only I had the same passion for writing scientific papers as I do for talking about Star Trek 😁

I have learned that after a successful career as sth like a CFO or CTO in pharma or finance, the next logical step for some men is to submit papers on consciousness directly to my inbox.
