Still two weeks to submit your abstract for our Beyond Neurocomputationalism workshop (Antwerp 4-5 June). Keynote Speakers include Kate Nave, Romain Brette, Vicente Raja, Matteo Mossio, Mazviita Chirimuuta & Alicia Juarrero! Info below! #philmind #philsci #philsky #philpsy #neurosky #neuroskyence

It is out and OPEN ACCESS: "The Senses: Perception and Experience" (Cambridge University Press, Elements: Philosophy of Mind, ed. by @keithfrankish.com) #PhilSky #booksky #HPBio #philosophy #cogsci www.cambridge.org/core/element...

What do people actually mean when they say cells *communicate*? That question drove my PhD. The preprint with the main findings is now live: philsci-archive.pitt.edu/30461/ 1/

We just preprinted the final version of our paper for this year's CogSci Conference: doi.org/10.31234/osf... It's a digital study on how researchers in language emergence think of linguistic structure - and how the existing theoretical accounts fail to catch up to this conceptual practice

We are super happy to announce the fifth edition of our Transatlantic Behavioural Neuroscience School, that will be held Aug 11-22nd in Poland! Join us to learn everything you need to build your behavioural setup with open source tools!

My project Theorizing the Mind has been funded by the National Science Center.

#philsci #cogsky #CognitiveNeuroscience @phaueis.bsky.social and I have had our paper, “Metabolic considerations for cognitive modeling,” accepted as a target article in Behavioral and Brain Sciences. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

"The Riddle of Organismal Agency" is now available as a paperback version! Edited by @alejandrofabregastejeda.com, Jan Baedke, Guido Prieto and Gregory Radick, the volume puts together reflections from #HistSci and #PhilSci on the topic of organismal agency. #HPBio www.routledge.com/The-Riddle-o...

What role heuristics play in model organism research? How can the DEKI capture the development of MOs? Is basal cognition introducing novel MOs for neuroscience? This is what I try to explore in the new preprint: philsci-archive.pitt.edu/27054/

School of Ideas in Neuroscience 2025 has started today with a talk by @phaueis.bsky.social!

Applications are still open!

We’ve just opened the applications for this year’s School of Ideas in Neuroscience which will happen September 8-13 in Warsaw, Poland! We have an exciting lineup of guests and all we need now is some participants, so consider joining us and sharing the invitation :) nenckiopenlab.org/the-school-o...

So exciting!! I wish I could comeeee

We are super happy to announce the third Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience! We will once again look critically at assumptions of modern neuroscience: what does it mean that the brain encodes information? Is this a useful approach, or a metaphor that blurs our vision?

Last year we met in the beautiful Dolomites to talk about “naturalistic” behaviour - now the brilliant organizers have put together a preprint which summarizes those discussions. Very much recommended! It definitely changed how I think about behaviour

Nencki Open Lab@openlab.bsky.social · last yr.

We are super happy to present our first preprint - the effect of our Rethinking Naturalistic Behaviour Workshop - where we look more critically at the term "naturalistic behaviour" and point to its vagueness and inconsistency in its use! osf.io/preprints/os...

The open access version of A Drive to Survive is now available to download for free! direct.mit.edu/books/oa-mon... (If you've already read the preprint, I'd really appreciate a download of the official version... for the *metrics*) - also it has way less typos.

Cognitive offloading and the causal structure of human action - Synthese

The hypothesis of extended cognition (HEC) casts human cognition as constitutively dependent on its bodily and environmental context. Drawing on recent empirical work on ‘cognitive offloading’, HEC’s ...

Exciting mail day! I received two new books with my contributions. In the volume on Conceptual Engineering, edited by Piotr Stalmaszczyk, I co-authored a chapter with my PhD student @wikror.bsky.social on predictive understanding, using empirical evidence from scientific writing and peer review. 1/2

A Drive to Survive now has a cover! Thanks to my friend Toby Logan saving the day with his design skills. Unfortunately the release has been delayed another two months, but the pre-print can be downloaded here osf.io/preprints/ps... or I’m happy to email a PDF to anyone interested!

I realized that there was no story in English that would explain what happened to my institute, so I decided to write up this blog entry, which shows how low-quality AI systems fail to assess research quality: marcinmilkowski.pl/2024/11/20/w...

Many thanks to @mmilkowski.bsky.social and Przemysław Nowakowski for presenting their work in progress in our Digital Methods reading group today! 👉Check out the paper by @wikror.bsky.social and @mmilkowski.bsky.social highlighting the research conducted by Marcin’s group: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

This paper, along with several other fascinating contributions, has just been published in the book “Conceptual Engineering: Methodological and Metaphilosophical Issues” edited by Piotr Stalmaszczyk. Highly recommended! And you can still view freely the final version of our chapter on Psyarxiv :)
