How do advanced meditators deconstruct experience? Happy to announce that the peer-reviewed version of Towards an Active Inference Account of Deep Meditative Deconstruction is now out open access in Neuroscience of Consciousness @nconsc.bsky.social - work with @kevinberryman.bsky.social🧵

New paper is out! 🌟 Here we consider challenges in computational psychiatry and address them drawing on ideas from philosophy of science. This paper came together during my PhD through many wonderful discussions with Noor, Laura and Jakob. No surprises that I have an optimistic take 😊

Jakob @hohwy.bsky.social unravels how we understand the mind, cognition, and existence in "The Self-Evidencing Agent," analyzing how human agents perceive and make sense of the world, decide to act, and act of their own volition: bit.ly/4sXomMq

Very excited to announce that our new paper “Are Dreams Narrative Experiences? How Assumptions About Fictional Narratives Shape Debates on Dream Experiences” is officially published in Topoi. I am truly honoured to have collaborated with my supervisor, Jennifer Windt, on this work. rdcu.be/eSXvP

New BBS article w/ @lauragwilliams.bsky.social and Hinze Hogendoorn, just accepted! We respond to a thought-provoking article by @smfleming.bsky.social & @matthiasmichel.bsky.social, and argue that it's premature to conclude that conscious perception is delayed by 350-450ms: bit.ly/4nYNTlb

It takes time for the #brain to process information, so how can we catch a flying ball? @renrutmailliw.bsky.social &co reveal a multi-stage #motion #extrapolation occurring in the #HumanBrain, shifting the represented position of moving objects closer to real time @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3Fm83Fc

Mapping the position of moving stimuli. The top three panels show the three events of interest: stimulus onset, stimulus offset, and stimulus reversal (left to right). The bottom three panels show group-level probabilistic spatio-temporal maps centered around these three events. Diagonal black lines mark the true position of the stimulus. Horizontal dashed lines mark the time of the event of interest (stimulus onset, offset, or reversal). Red indicates high probability regions and blue indicates low probability regions (‘position evidence’ gives the difference between the posterior probability and chance). Note: these maps were generated from recordings at posterior/occipital sites.

Takeaways: musicians better in SJ tasks (but may be response bias) yet show > multisensory integration in a more objective RT task (but may be just better sustained attention, motivation, etc.). SJs show rapid recalibration but RTs don't, so RR probs not due to early sensory latency changes 9/10

⚠️New paper! If you like multisensory temporal perception, this one has HEAPS for you. We looked at simultaneity perception, simple RTs, race model inequality, serial dependence (recalibration), modality shift costs, musicians, and more! Findings summarised below 1/10 psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Just realised Bluesky supports videos so here is our new visual illusion! Fix your gaze on the grey dot. How many red dots do you see within the green frames? Many people consistently see two, despite only ever being shown one! jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx... w/ @renrutmailliw.bsky.social

Excited to share my first paper: a novel visual illusion discovered by my co-authors Will Turner and Hinze Hogendoorn which we call the "Split-Stimulus Effect", in which a single flashed stimulus is perceived to be in two different locations simultaneously jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx...
