"Sensorimotor Coupling Modulates Perceived Time and Agency Across Visual Perspectives" - out now #openaccess in @collabracialjust.bsky.social - led by Shu Imaizumi, w/ Keisuke Suzuki @ksks.bsky.social, Giuseppe Lai, and me online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

I've written a solo philosophy paper. link.springer.com/article/10.1... What is real? I argue we should understand reality through resistance — how things push back against our grasp. And smart contracts now give artifacts the kind of "outside" that once belonged only to nature. 🧵

Artificial Externality: A Three-Layer Model of Reality from Substrate to Smart Contract - Philosophy & Technology

What is real has always been something we find, not something we make—or so philosophy has assumed. This paper argues otherwise. Characterizing reality through resistance rather than substance (the wa...

New work led by Filippo out on Neurocomputing! W/ @ksks.bsky.social , @kanair.bsky.social and me. Does an agent need to be "aware" of its executed actions to learn to achieve a certain goal? In reinforcement learning, the answer is generally "yes". 1/

Ever wonder why a ventriloquist's dummy seems to talk, or why a rubber hand can feel like your own? 🤔 Our brains perform an amazing trick, merging what we see, hear, and feel into a single reality. But this process isn't always stable. A new theory on why. 🧵 1/7
