Exciting discussions by @sarahgarf.bsky.social of heartbeat evoked potential work with Rania Iman Virjee & @mahyog.bsky.social + work on dissociation, multi-sensory integration and heart signals playing a role in our experience of the world + self by @jamoffatt.bsky.social & Sascha Woelk #selfRS2025
Day 2 of the symposium on the self @royalsociety.org has just started with @sarahgarf.bsky.social talking about interoception, heart signals and their preconscious impact!🫀🧠 Lovely to see mentions of papers which inspired me to embark on my PhD project in the first place! #selfRS2025
Robots are not conscious - even if they can pass the mirror test🤖😲 Fascinating insights from Pablo Lanillos, and examining interactions between the bodily self's plasticity + social neuroscience with Ugo Giulio Pesci bring the day 1 talks to an end. Poster session time!✨ #selfRS2025
Another excellent talk from @mtsakiris.bsky.social, discussing the origins of selfhood and the interoceptive body as the first prior. Combining exteroception and interoception to understand the sense of self - what more could you ask for? 😉 #selfRS2025
Great talk from @vhsouthgate.bsky.social on the developmental perspective on the self 👶 – fascinating to consider how selfhood arises! Also encouraging to see growing interest in interoception & the embodied self, with shout-outs to heart-brain interactions🫀🧠 #selfRS2025
From using robots to study the minimal self 🤖 to exploring the philosophical consequences of how we define the self and what it really means to do something for the plot (hello, narrative self 📖)... These talks really made me reflect on how multifaceted the self is! #selfRS2025
Great to hear @mtsakiris.bsky.social discuss his latest developmental interoceptive research, lots to understand about developmental phases of interoceptive vs expeoceptive processing #SelfRS2025
Day 1 of the symposium on the self @royalsociety.org is spoiling us with interdisciplinary discussions on the concepts and dimensions of self! Many thanks to @tonyjprescott.bsky.social @awykowska.bsky.social @sarahgarf.bsky.social & Paul Verschure for organising this illuminating event! #selfRS2025
