Thermosensory predictive coding underpins an illusion of pain! Our new study reveals how perceptions of pain can emerge from the interplay between thermal sensations, expectations, and uncertainty. Check out our thread for all the details! 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share that on March 20th I successfully defended my PhD thesis! Grateful to my supervisor Alessandra Bertoldo and my colleagues for their support during my PhD journey, and reviewers Adeel Razi and Francesco Donnarumma for their insightful comments and recognition of my work.

Time to vote for the new OHBM leadership team!

Some compelling candidates ;-)

I decided to put myself in for the council seat too as a Program Chair. Please vote and choose whoever you think is the best candidate.

Interest in brain-body coupling is rising. Current methods typically focus on a single brain-body axis, like heart-brain, in isolation. Daniel Kluger, Joachim Gross, and I argue that the brain and body exhibit complex, multi-organ dynamics. Read more: osf.io/preprints/psya…

Excited about this work that has emerged out of brainstorming we started in the scenic Cancun, more than two years ago. Tim and Liad led this important paper and expertly shepherded the herd. Lot more is cooking!

Well now here's a topic that is ripe for reconsideration. Looks excellent from Anil Seth and others - I particularly applaud the proposal for a multidimensional classification of consciousness in other species.

2/ When does consciousness emerge in infancy? When is it retained in disorders of consciousness? Which species are conscious? How might we tell whether neural organoids, AI systems, or xenobots are conscious? Answering these questions requires tests for consciousness (C-tests).

I’m really excited to be starting a new adventure with multiple amazing friends & colleagues.
