@cogcompneuro.bsky.social Satellite Event: COMPUTATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS SCIENCE Saturday, 1 August 2026 New York University Bringing computational modelling, neuroscience, and philosophy together to understand consciousness NYU Center for Mind, Brain and Consciousness #CCN2026
Congratulations to @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social for winning the @theassc.bsky.social's William James Prize for her paper A neural basis for distinguishing imagination from reality. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... Read more here: theassc.org/james-prize/
A neural basis for distinguishing imagination from reality
Dijkstra et al. show that our brain distinguishes imagination from reality by monitoring how strongly the fusiform gyrus is activated. When imagined and real images produce similar activity, people ca...

do any non-human animals have the “lying awake at 3am because the brain won’t stop” type of insomnia? Or is rumination-insomnia uniquely human? How would we even study it? thanks for any tips!
So excited to be a part of this, join us!!

Tomorrow, 10:45, talk room 2! Revisiting Iconic Memory with a New Experimental Paradigm @vssmtg.bsky.social #VSS2026
Arrived @ #VSS2026 @vssmtg.bsky.social 😎🌴 If you're here - come check out my talk on Monday! Revisiting Iconic Memory with a New Experimental Paradigm Room 2 May 18th, 10:45 (1st talk) Super fun collaboration with @johnmorrison.bsky.social & my 1st study from @michaelshadlen.bsky.social lab 🤩
Excited that our paper is finally out in @natneuro.nature.com 🎉 Huge thanks to all my co-authors, especially @jonasterlau.bsky.social & @randolph-helfrich.bsky.social for the support and great teamwork 🍀
Very excited to share our latest paper led by @nbinish.bsky.social in @natneuro.nature.com We demonstrate how a communication subspace channels higher-dimensional PFC dynamics into lower-D motor activity to enable efficient behavior using human iEEG. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence
Excited to be giving a talk at #VSS2026 tomorrow! Come by the multisensory session at 11am, Room 1. I'll be presenting our recent fMRI study examining how the human hippocampus combines visual and auditory information. preprint: doi.org/10.64898/2026.03.01.708855

My review on the "Confidence-accuracy dissociations in perceptual decision making" is now published. I think that this will be useful to both experts and newcomers to the field. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
New preprint: Confidence-accuracy dissociations in perceptual decision making. A review I was supposed to write 3 years ago for my VSS Young Investigator Award. Better late than never 😅 I tried to organize the literature and explore the likely mechanisms. Feedback welcome! osf.io/preprints/ps...
If you ever wondered how to make sure there's no mosquito in your bedroom, check out Perrine's first PhD work!
Are you sure there’s no mosquito in the room? With @matanmazor.bsky.social, Chichi Dézier, @nfaivre.bsky.social & Louise Goupil, we study how we combine multiple sensory sources to be confident in presence and absence: While detection rely on one modality, confidence requires both channels to align!
With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.
Just landed in San Francisco for #neurips 2025!! ✈️🤩 Please write me if you have any cognitive computational neuroscience recommendations!
Congrats @galchen.bsky.social !! Really cool work, and I'm really happy to see it out!
First paper is now out in Cortex! We find behavioral and neural evidence for non-conscious speech processing, using a new dual-task paradigm that creates repetitive occurrences of in attentional deafness without masking or degrading stimuli. @deouell.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Wish I could be in CCN this year, enjoy everyone!!
Super excited to kickstart our Metacognitive science satellite meeting, just before the CCN conference in Amsterdam! Organised with @dobyrahnev.bsky.social @meganakpeters.bsky.social and @stvemillertime.bsky.social
This was tons of fun to work on! Really happy to be part of this star team 🌟🤩
1/8 Happy to share our new paper—“IQ Test for LLMs”—co-authored with Aviya Maimon, Amir DN Cohen, @neurogal.bsky.social and Reut Tsarfaty. We propose to rethink how language models are evaluated by focusing on the latent capabilities that explain benchmark results. Arxiv: arxiv.org/pdf/2507.20208
Thrilled to share our new opinion piece—hot off the press—on attentional sampling, co-authored with the magnificent Flor Kusnir and Daniele Re. It captures where our thinking has landed on this topic after years of work. www.cell.com/trends/cogni...
Attentional sampling resolves competition along the visual hierarchy
Navigating the environment involves engaging with multiple objects, each activating specific neuronal populations. When objects appear together, these populations compete. Classical attention theories...

Excited to share our new research—led by @harinlee.info —using rare @researchdeezer.bsky.social data to uncover how music choices reflect both individual preferences and city-level cultural patterns. A unique collaboration between science and industry! 🎶📊 #BigData @co3lab.bsky.social
Big cities are vibrant hubs of culture, but why exactly is that? Now out in @natcomms.nature.com, we analysed music listening patterns of over 2.5 million people and demographics to examine mechanisms driving cultural diversity. With @researchdeezer.bsky.social @norijacoby.bsky.social Highlights ⬇
