Excited to co-lead with @jdsitt.bsky.social the France Brain Bee 🇫🇷🧠🐝 today at the @institutducerveau.bsky.social where 60 bright high-schoolers compete for a chance to represent France at the 🌎 🧠 🐝!

Great work from Emilia exploring attentional focus. This could be an interesting avenue to explore DoC patients. The rest of the amazing work that Emilia did during her PhD will soon go out. Stay attentive!

I am happy to return to Bluesky to promote Dragana's work. Her work is a tour-de-force that demonstrates the importance of multimodal assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness. Thanks to all the EraBrain consortium partners behind this project. @ERANET_PerMed

Check out the amazing brain-body interactions event coming next March to the Paris Brain Institute. We will have awesome speakers including @roysal.bsky.social, @sarahgarf.bsky.social, Morten Kringelbach, Catherine Tallon-Baudry, and others! (1/1)

In the future, targeting these moments of favorable patterns in patients with disorders of consciousness may help us identify windows of greater receptivity to the external world, paving the way for developing individualized patient care protocols. (8/8)

Our results reveal a bidirectional influence between ongoing brain dynamics and conscious perception. Moreover, they suggest that certain brain configurations favor conscious processing of external stimuli, highlighting their functional role in shaping conscious content. (7/8)

Interestingly, the occurrence of Pattern 1 increased following the detection of a threshold stimulus, indicating that participants were more prone to transitioning to this pattern, which seems to be favorable for conscious perception, when they detected the stimulus. (6/8)

Jacobo SITT @jdsitt.bsky.social · 23/01/2024

We hypothesized that participants would be more likely to detect a stimulus at threshold if they exhibited this pattern that is most typical of conscious states (Pattern 1). As expected, detection rates were higher when Pattern 1 occurred during the stimulus presentation! (5/8)

Jacobo SITT @jdsitt.bsky.social · 23/01/2024

Using phase-based functional connectivity and k-means clustering we computed recurrent brain patterns. Our patterns closely matched those found by Demertzi et al. (2019), with Pattern 1 corresponding to the pattern typical of conscious states, decreasing with unconsciousness. (4/8)

Importantly the overall volume of the stimuli was adjusted for each participant in a staircase session prior to the task so that the middle SNR (SNR-9) would be detected in only half of the trials. (3/8)

Participants performed an auditory detection task during fMRI acquisitions. They were asked to detect a French vowel /a/ embedded in continuous background noise at different signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). (2/8)

Our new preprint is out! With Basak Turker, Claire Sergent et al we show that brain connectivity patterns typical of conscious states that diminish with loss of consciousness enhance conscious processing of auditory stimuli in wakefulness! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024 (1/8)

I'm so happy that my first relevant message here is our collaboration with Delphine Oudiette studying the limits of responsiveness in all stages of sleep. Congrats to all authors in particular one of the leading, the fresh new PhD Basak Turker.

Well hello Bluesky. For my first (proper) post, here's my take on the IIT brouhaha and some of the wider issues involved, out now in Nautilus. It's called The Worth of Wild Ideas (and The Right To Be Wrong). nautil.us/the-worth-of...

The Worth of Wild Ideas

Even if a leading theory of consciousness is wrong, it can still be useful to science.
