Our review on intracranial research on consciousness is now out as a preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2510.08736. I believe that intracranial recordings provide one of the most exciting avenues for research on consciousness right now! If you agree, I think you will find the review interesting 🤓

1/Preprint Alert🔔: Across two experiments plus a computational model, we show the visual system compresses complex scenes into summary statistics that can guide behavior without conscious access to the task-defining features. We term this the Ensemble Blindsight effect.

New “version of record” in @elife.bsky.social!
We recorded neurons in the thalamus and subthalamic nucleus of humans and found both sensory- and perception-selective neurons with two distinct latencies!

Subcortical correlates of consciousness with human single neuron recordings
Subcortical brain structures contain neurons encoding subjective reports of stimulus detection in human participants, suggesting a role for conscious perception.
