This is staggering, "More than 26,000 babies and toddlers were admitted to hospital last year with lung conditions probably linked to exposure to damp and mould, Panorama analysis of NHS England data has found." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excited to see this now out in the world! We identify a computational basis for how persistent underconfidence is maintained in the face of intact performance, finding that it is grounded in impaired updating of global self-beliefs from local metacognition www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/N

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

osf.io/preprints/ps... nice article, on why we may be totally wrong about aphantasia = imagery blindsight but i'm not sure i agree that for imagery representations to be perception-like, they need to be cross-decodable w/ normal perception. the brain can multiplex two sets of iconic signals 🧠📈

Quite a few studies show attractive integration between perception and imagery/VWM such that e.g. imagining a left-tilted grating makes a perceived grating seem more left-tilted. Does anybody know of any studies showing repulsion? I.e. making the perceived grating seem more right-tilted?

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. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The saga continues: significant decoding of voluntary imagery in early visual cortex during aphantasia - but a lack of cross-decoding with perception, maybe suggesting different sensory formats? www.cell.com/current-biol...

Now out in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social : We discuss how the contents of visual perception, imagery, and prediction can be decoded from rhythmic brain activity and argue that such rhythmic representations offer new insights into neural information propagation. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

As academics, we spend much of our time on data analysis, writing code that allows us to analyze complex data patterns. As we are at the brink of AI getting better at programming than us, do you still incentivize your students to learn to write complex code from scratch? Or should the focus shift?

We value things differently depending on the situation. A fascinating paper shows that the hippocampus feeds contextual information to the prefrontal cortex by altering theta wave phase alignment, enabling the PFC to adjust value judgments accordingly. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience
