I'm very happy to share that this is out!! Besides their reusability in research, I hope that this carefully curated dataset, with its accompanying descriptor paper, will be a useful resource for training students in fMRI analysis.

We are pleased to share a data descriptor paper to complement the fMRI dataset (N=118) originally released alongside our 2025 Nature adversarial collaboration paper.

We’re hosting a hybrid symposium on Neurophysiological mechanisms supporting attention and prediction. 📅 11 June 2026, 09:00–14:00 ECT 📍 Psychology Department, University of Oslo + online www.uio.no/ritmo/englis... All welcome! @unioslo-ritmo.bsky.social @uio.no

New peer-reviewed paper w/ @mheilbron.bsky.social, @predictivebrain.bsky.social & Jakub Szewczyk! Pre-onset brain encoding has been taken as evidence that brains–like LLMs–predict upcoming words. We show that the same signatures arise in systems that cannot predict. (elifesciences.org) (1/8)

Something is emerging in Santiago this July. A new kind of scientific gathering. Open data. Interdisciplinary teams. A shared question that's been challenging researchers for decades. Introducing Consciousness Commons: A satellite workshop for early-career researchers @assc2026.bsky.social #ASSC29

Really nice experience being interviewed on hyperscanning together with Anne-Kristin Solbakk and Sigurd Alnes by Elise Kjørstad. When we measure brain activity from multiple people at once, the brains synchronize. 🔗 www.forskning.no/hjerneforskn... @unioslo-ritmo.bsky.social @uio.no

Når forskere måler hjerneaktiviteten til flere samtidig, skjer det noe rart

– Plutselig ser man at det skjer ting mellom mennesker som man ikke kan se, sier forsker.

Join us in beautiful Dubrovnik for the XVII Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science (21–24 May 2026)! This year’s theme focuses on adaptation and its limits across multiple timescales, individual differences, and mental health. Abstracts from all areas of cogsci welcome! Visit: ducog.cecog.eu

Next week I'll give a talk at @oxcin.bsky.social, sharing the Open Science practices that we implemented at @ArcCogitate. It will be possible to attend online. Thanks Tara Ghafari for your invitation 🧠 www.oxcin.ox.ac.uk/events/open_...

PhD position alert!!! Together with @predictivebrain.bsky.social and Sonja Kotz we are looking for a PhD candidate to join a great project on the biological foundations of perceptual decisions vacancies.maastrichtuniversity.nl/job/Maastric... Happy to answer any question you may have!

👁️💡 How much do we really see? @marco-gandolfo.bsky.social reveals how our brains process the unexpected, with surprising differences across age and gender. With over 14,000 participants at muZIEum, it’s the largest public #inattentional #blindness experiment to date. 🔗 www.ru.nl/en/donders-i...

🤔 Ever wondered what it really takes to pull off a global, preregistered, adversarial collaboration on consciousness? 🎙️ Out now @braininspired.bsky.social episode is a BTS peek into the ideas, challenges, science & team dynamics of our just-published Nature paper. 🔗 braininspired.co/podcast/211/

Co-First Authors include: 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Oscar Ferrante Urszula Gorska-Klimowska Simon Henin @ronyhirsch.bsky.social Aya Khalaf @alexlepauvre.bsky.social Ling Liu @davidrichter.bsky.social @yamilvidal.bsky.social

In this episode of “Brain Inspired,” Paul Middlebrooks talks with Oscar Ferrante, Rony Hirschhorn and Alex Lepauvre about putting integrated information and global neuronal workspace theories of consciousness to the test. Listen now: www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir...

Oscar Ferrante, Rony Hirschhorn and Alex Lepauvre discuss putting integrated information and global neuronal workspace theories of consciousness to the test

The trio is part of the adversarial collaboration launched to test various theories of consciousness, a project known as COGITATE.

I'm so happy for the friends I made working on this project, and proud of the work we have put together

Our @nature.com paper is out! Bringing together 2 major theories of consciousness - Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT) - in an unprecedented collaboration. Here’s the story of how we advanced theory testing in neuroscience www.nature.com/articles/s41...
