We've just published a small opinion piece in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, arguing for the under-estimated utility of resting state neuroimaging data, given exciting new methods to analyse it. Work led by @loopyluppi.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One of my PhD students got 1st prize in the #ASSC29 poster competition in Santiago, Chile! Very well deserved Julia Rathmann-Bloch!

#ASSC29 kicking off by @jdsitt.bsky.social in Santiago, Chile!

Our paper just out on how emergent group behaviour can solve a complex task, and make people feel more connected in the process, out now in Collective Intelligence: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... (with @frosas.bsky.social Pedro Mediano, Madalina Sas, Hillary Leone and others)

New preprint out, where we show that neural complexity (CSER) tracks fine-grained perceptual clarity during wakefulness, and ~30ms earlier than ERP results. Congrats to primary author Alberto Liardi and other co-authors @frosas.bsky.social and Pedro Mediano www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🎉 📜 NEW #PREPRINT !! 📜 🎉 Spearheaded by Adam Barrett we tried to tackle some of the challenges of IIT. We confront aspects worth delving into, with an incredible team of collaborators, inc. Pedro Mediano, @frosas.bsky.social, Daniel Bor, Lionel Barnett, and @anilseth.bsky.social.

Integrated information theory: the good, the bad and the misunderstood

The integrated information theory of consciousness (IIT) is uniquely ambitious in proposing a mathematical formula, derived from apparently fundamental properties of conscious experience, to describe ...

We have a new preprint! Alzheimer's patients have a radically different neural informational signature compared to healthy controls, suggesting diminished consciousness, and a skewed cognitive profile. Mammoth, and important, work, spearheaded by @keenandown.bsky.social

Happy to announce this new preprint! In it, we use info decomp (ΦID) on fMRI in Alzheimer's and MCI to explore how info-dynamic representations change. AD saw big decreases in synergy ('deductive' information) and increases in redundancy. Check it out here: 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
