Phenomenological psychopathologists have recently highlighted how people with delusions experience multiple realities (delusional and non-delusional) and have suggested this double bookkeeping cannot be explained via predictive processing. Here, we present data from Kamin blocking and extinction learning that show how predictive processing might, in principle, explain a pervasive sense of dual reality.

This study introduces a breakthrough in noninvasive brain-monitoring technology through on-scalp-printed and self-drying conductive inks for electroencephalography (EEG). These ultrathin, skin-conformable temporary e-tattoos provide a comfortable and precise way to capture brain activity, overcoming the limitations of traditional EEG systems, such as bulky equipment and manual setup. With personalized sensor layouts, distinct electrode and interconnect inks, and a hair-compatible digital printing process, these on-scalp-formed e-tattoos represent a promising tool for clinical diagnostics, brain-computer interfaces, and wearable health applications.
