Many people have no mental imagery. What’s going on in their brains?
People with aphantasia are offering a window into consciousness.
A feature in Nature examines the research about aphantasia, which is the experience of people with no mental imagery, and how it could offer a window into consciousness. #Neuroskyence 🧪

Manifolds, Dendrites, and the Geometry of Neural Computation
The population doctrine—the view that populations, not individual neurons, constitute the fundamental unit of computation—has been gaining ground for years.
New Journal Club: Neural manifolds are maturing from visualization trick to biological claim. But if population activity lives on low-dimensional manifolds, what constrains the geometry?

UCL launches landmark European collaboration on perception science
UCL is working with top French partners CNRS and ENS – PSL on a major European research initiative to advance understanding of human perception and consciousness.
The CNRS (@cnrs.fr) and the Ecole Normale Supérieure/PSL University (@normalesup.bsky.social) is launching a 5-year International Research Project (IRP) with University College London (@ucl.ac.uk) on human perception and consciousness.

Ever wondered how the Dalmatian Dog effect works?
The human brain can quickly learn from a single experience and generalize it to related experiences — an impressive feat so far not matched by AI.
Our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com reveals how this works.

La recherche du code neuronal qui fait de nous une espèce unique, l’« espèce symbolique », est l’une des questions les plus passionnantes des neurosciences contemporaines. Musique, langage, mathématiques, résultent sans doute de l'émergence de propriétés nouvelles dans nos circuits neuronaux.

L'imagerie cérébrale montre que le cerveau humain abrite un circuit des mathématiques, capable de composer les nombres et les formes en une infinité d'idées nouvelles. Ce qui nous distingue des autres espèces animales, c’est la faculté de composer les idées entre elles.

Les premiers humains, avant d’esquisser des dessins réalistes, n’ont cessé de tracer des motifs géométriques : carrés, rectangles, cercles ou spirales, lignes parallèles ou perpendiculaires… D’où viennent ces archétypes ? Et pourquoi l’espèce humaine est-elle la seule à maîtriser la géométrie ?

Mon nouveau livre "Le rectangle de Lascaux : et Homo sapiens inventa la géométrie" sortira en libraire le 28 janvier.
J'y aborde l'origine des mathématiques depuis la préhistoire jusqu'à nos jours ; c'est un peu la suite de mon tout premier livre, "La Bosse des Maths". Quelques explications:

La France est l’un des seuls pays à s’accrocher à la psychanalyse. C’est un fardeau souvent délétère pour les patients avec d’authentiques pathologies mentales (notamment autismes, dyslexies). Et de vraies solutions existent. Formons y nos psychologues! Et nos élèves.
