🎉 Excited to share our latest preprint! 🫁 Using interoceptive psychophysics and quantitative MRI in 200+ people, we find that individual differences in respiroceptive sensitivity & precision correlate with distinct patterns of cortical microstructure.

Stunning new preprint from @francescafardo.bsky.social and her lab - they developed & validated a 2D adaptive model to estimate the thermal grill illusion - it reliably finds combinations of non-painful cold & warm stimuli that together elicit heat pain! #neuro #psych www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Lots of people know that prehistoric sea turtles got big, but it can be easy to underestimate just how huge these things got. The largest verified specimen of a modern Leatherback turtle weighed in at 1,433 lbs, but this Archelon would have been closer to 11,300 lbs. #scicomm #paleosky #paleontology

Many researchers in cognitive neuroscience and deep learning seem to assume that inference in the brain is hierarchical.
Our new Nature Reviews Neuroscience paper questions this assumption and proposes the shallow brain hypothesis.
