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 🤓

If you attend #TRF4 in Tokyo and always wondered how humans represent durations, make sure to check out @grassocamille.bsky.social’s talk on Sunday morning!
Spoiler: Durations are mentally organised along (at least) three interpretable dimensions! More complex structure than we previously assumed.

We show that the dopamine system responds to natural breakpoints in experience, and this relates to more stretched memories of time. Blinking also increases, signaling encoding of new memories.
