Abstract. This book provides a defense and an exploration of illusionism regarding phenomenal consciousness. Phenomenal consciousness supposedly encompasse

In celebration of the 100th episode of Consciousness Live! I am hosting a series of author-meets-reader sessions on my recent book Consciousness as Representing One’s Mind (OUP 2025). All ses…

The classical view of visual cortex organization as a collection of specialized modules processing distinct features like color and motion has profoundly influenced neuroscience for decades. This fram...

South Asians are a powerful, visible minority in the Trump administration. They’re also facing a racist backlash, fueled in part by the white nationalist Groyper movement.

Abstract. Cognitive responses are linked to consistent individual behavioural variation, but the potential impact of warming on this relationship remains u

And why is my experience so different to everyone else?

Most behaviors involve neural dynamics in high-dimensional activity spaces. A common approach is to extract dimensions that capture task-related variability, such as those separating stimuli or choice...

The evolution of consciousness remains a mystery as scientists grapple with defining traits, overcoming bias, and measuring subjective experience in animals.

Humans perceive a vividly colored world coherently across the visual field, even though our peripheral vision has limited color sensitivity compared t…

The synaptic connectome of most animals bears little resemblance to functional brain maps, but it can still predict neuronal activity, according to two preprints that tackle the puzzle in C. elegans.

Study challenges the textbook idea that the brain region that processes body sensations reorganizes itself after limb amputation.

How the human brain supports diverse behaviours has been debated for decades. The canonical view divides visual processing into distinct "what" and "where/how" streams – however, their origin and inde...

Brain function is inexorably shaped by the body. Embracing this will benefit computational models of real brain function and the design of ANNs.

Prendki explains how her work on large AI models shaped her views that current AI needs inspiration from living organisms.

Brain rhythms seem central to understanding the neurophysiological basis of human cognition. Yet, despite significant advances, key questions remain unresolved. In this comprehensive position paper, w...
