Cognitive neuroscientist | Views are my own
Consciousness is private - our conscious experiences are inherently subjective. To infer someone else's consciousness, we typically rely on overt behaviors like language and body gestures. But sometimes these overt expressions are unreliable or absent altogether

Sleuthing subjectivity: a review of covert measures of consciousness - Nature Reviews Neuroscience
Consciousness may be inferred in others through observable behaviours such as facial expressions and vocalizations. However, such overt reporting has limitations, leading to research on physiological ...

A concerning breach of the 1.5°C global warming threshold reminds us of the urgency to act. Let’s each play our part - big or small - in creating solutions for a sustainable future. www.newscientist.com/article/2463...
2024 confirmed as first year to breach 1.5°C warming limit
Scientists warn efforts to limit the long-term temperature rise to 1.5°C will fail as data confirms 2024 was the hottest year in human history

Congratulations to Dr. Kate Christison-Lagay and colleagues on this hard-fought publication reporting on auditory conscious perception with human intracranial recordings. Worth a look! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The neural activity of auditory conscious perception
Although recent work has made headway in understanding the neural temporospatial dynamics of conscious perception, much of that work has focused on vi…

@emilyjacobs.bsky.social delivered an inspiring talk at NIMH earlier this week, presenting her + colleagues' research on brain changes during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. I recommend exploring their latest paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Neuroanatomical changes observed over the course of a human pregnancy - Nature Neuroscience
Neural changes in pregnancy are not well understood. Here Pritschet et al. present an open-access precision brain imaging resource, mapping neuroanatomical change in an individual from preconception t...

I am very happy to share our latest pre-print on eye metrics (pupil size, blinking, and microsaccades) and conscious awareness in cerebral blindness! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Eye metrics are a marker of visual conscious awareness and neural processing in cerebral blindness
Damage to the primary visual pathway can cause vision loss. Some cerebrally blind people retain degraded vision or sensations and can perform visually guided behaviors. These cases motivate investigat...
