Consciousness and how it can/should/mustn't be researched is a contentious topic, as are different takes on theories of consciousness.
Two complementary Comments published today put forward views on what use theories can be to better understand consciousness.

Congrats Tyler!! That’s awesome news

Super excited to share my first preprint with Katherine Duncan and Morgan Barense (@barense.bsky.social) -- "Memory strength at reactivation, not memory age, governs prediction error driven updating of naturalistic event memory"! 🧠🎉https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/q9rkn_v1

Come check out my poster at #SfN, Wed (8am-12pm, NN1)!
"Auditory and multisensory representations in the human hippocampus"

Using high-resolution fMRI, we ask how does the human hippocampus represent sensory modalities beyond vision, and how does it integrate sense information across modalities?

Accelerated learning of a noninvasive human brain-computer interface via manifold geometry Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) promise to restore and enhance a wide range of human capabilities. However, a barrier to the adoption of BCIs is how long it can take users to learn to control them. W...

Excited to be at #SfN25! Come catch my poster “Neural dimensionality expands over the course of brain-computer interface learning” wed PM (W15) if you’re interested in non-invasive BCIs, neural manifolds, human learning, etc. Building upon our recent work (doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.29.646109)

Johns Hopkins becomes tuition-free for undergraduate students from families earning up to $200,000 New tuition promise program will offer free tuition for students from more than 85% of American households and tuition plus living expenses for families earning up to $100,000

Great news: Johns Hopkins makes tuition free for most undergraduate students. ($200k/year or less is about 85% of American households.)

What makes some melodies feel "right" and others totally "off"? We have an intuitive affinity for some musical scales over others, like Bobby McFerrin shows here (youtu.be/ne6tB2KiZuk?...). Check out @omriraccah.bsky.social's paper - a clever collision of psychology and music - to learn more.

Geometric properties of musical scales constitute a representational primitive in melodic processing Uncovering the mental representations underlying symbolic domains is a long-standing goal of cognitive science. Music, a relatively unexplored aspect …

happy to share our newly published paper in
@cp-iscience.bsky.social on the mental representation of musical scales 🎶🧠

for those interested in music, memory representations, symbolic processing, or interdisciplinary science.
