Look what I did this summer! I had the pleasure of writing a review paper on three kinds of multisensory-emotional experience, with Hirohito Kondo and Erin Hannon.

This is submitted to a special issue of @nconsc.bsky.social on Embodied and Phenomenological Perspectives on Consciousness.

The paper is not an empirical study but a theoretical article arguing that we should investigate the possibility that mind wandering persists in disorders of consciousness.

I'm back from the dead to announce a paper that was published a couple of days ago and that I worked on. We're all very proud of this one. We elaborate on Varela’s neurophenomenology, proposing Bayesian mechanics as a generative passage between phenomenology and neurobiology.
