Is it weird that I don't see rotation in any of them? Just I odd 2d bouncy balls. Idk, maybe it's because I'm on a phone?

Inspiring talk at the BCI conference in Canada! Good luck at champalimaud 🤞 seems like a great fit. And such a beautiful city! Looking forward to following your work

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Remembering is quite well dealt with by immediate report (eg I never recall my dreams, outside experiments). If you meet them again, point them to the nearest ongoing dream research applying immediate reports w repeated awakening paradigms. Im sure whoever conducts them there would be interested!

Thanks for the tip!

Thinking about it now though, I tend to agree with you that "see" can be used for that purpose (but not unambiguously, I guess). For example, asking "What do you see?" To someone obviously hallucinating makes sense, even if they are clearly not responsive to photons from their environment 😊

Wholeheartedly agree 👍
Although I am not sure new technical terminology/jargon is the way to go. Perhaps there are other terms already in our language that directly, and unambiguously refer to the presence of visual-like phenomenology regardless of how it might have come about?

Really? Even if they are part of repeated awakening experiments and report their content immediately upon awakening? That's cool (and new to me)!
Anyways, the word "see" seems to trip people up because they know there is no reference "out there" triggering their experiences (with visual qualities).

I like using phrases like "visual qualities" or "contents comparable to seeing" when talking to people about this. Also, the comparison with Dreams is a good one imo. Most people understand the issue then; for most people dreams can have visual qualities even though they don't really "see" anything.

Yeah. I end up there through links sometimes. It is quite the experience...

Any lawyer, can you explain if this is against the Hatch Act? @gtconway.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social

Popup on hhs.gov - "Mission-critical activities of HHS will during this Democrat-led government shutdown. Please use this site as a resource as the Trump administration works to reopen the government for the American people.

Attention @hhsgov.govmirrors.com @seckennedy.govpeeps.us - this partisan popup at hhs.gov is a violation of the Hatch Act. You need to take it down immediately.

Rest in peace, Jane 💔

That's great!
Im sure you do already, but perhaps also emphasize that acting selfishly harms the individual themself (not just the group) in step 3. Would love to observe this exercise in action!

How often are the students able to control themselves? Do they start communicating/strategizing?

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?' President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.'"

Almost ... a glimmer ... "am I in an anti-reality bubble populated by sycophants?" ... and gone.

Philosopher John Searle has died.

I think they are considering it in Norway. At least I (perhaps delusionally?) believe I have read something about that 🙃

Having read through, I now see you have touched on it at some length. Seems like a good discussion at first glance!
Will have to read through again, and think more. Thanks for writing this up, anyways 👍

Congrats 🎊
Looking forward to resding it properly!

After skimming it, though, i feel like i may have to write a brief commentary/response in support of "inference *from* the best explanation" as another (i think essential) pillar for making valid extrapolations in consciousness science.

Kunne du tenke deg å delta, og befinner deg et sted mellom Oslo og Kongsberg, så ta kontakt for å få mer informasjon. Ikke bare får du en dagstur til Kongsberg med meg, men du får møte mine kolleger (og en unik mulighet til å snakke masse om esoteriske temaer som bevissthet, hjernen :)).

Har du lyst til å bistå i forskningen vår? Vi søker frivillige deltagere til kontrollforsøk med formål å utvikle en metode for å forstå hvorvidt pasienter som fremstår bevisstløse viser tegn til å høre og forstå folk rundt seg, eller forgjeves forsøker kommunisere.

The title is click-bait, but the content is refreshing. Have a look if you have 20 minutes to spare and want to be a fly on the wall inside the UN.

Quantifying rhythmic and arrhythmic brain activity is a hot 🥵 topic. But how independent are the two components from one another? 🤔 In my latest work with @smfleming.bsky.social & @matlandry.bsky.social, I explore the relationship between the two.

I think the US would benefit from remembering the separation of church and state.

Keep religion out of government.

(Same goes for others as well ofc: middle east, Israel, Russia. It gets ugly, fast)

Of course, we cant help but being influenced by data/knowledge from the past, but still, do what you can to avoid overfitting.

Also, stick to a single model/theory at a time; all your eggs in one basket, really stick your neck out, and come up with your best possible suggestion, before testing it.

My gut feeling is that we should use as much of it as possible for the test set, and as little as possible for the training set, so to speak. I.e. build the theory/model as independently from the data as possible, and use as much of it as you can to check if the theory/model is any good.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

These people WANTED VIOLENCE. They saw Kirk's death as an opportunity to achieve it. It was a thrilling moment for them when they could openly call for violent retaliation.
