I'll be giving a talk at #ESCAN2026 on Friday to present some interesting, and sometimes unexpected, naive intuitions about pain and pleasure probed with some fun thought experiments. The last study of this series was really recently collected, I'm happy to present them for the first time in Rome ☺️

After one week at the Computational Neurophenomenology Cabin Workshop, I can say it was one of the most inspiring experience of my PhD journey - both for the quality of the work & discussions, and for the amazing people I got to meet there. 🏔️ Would 100% recommend it- huge thanks to the organisers. 🤩
