🎊📜 NEW PAPER 📜🎊

Can we seriously build synthetic consciousness?
And if so, where do we start?

I’m super excited to present recent publication in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews where @jaanaru.bsky.social and I confront this challenge head on.

Do LLMs have stable personalities? We ran 2 million tests. (Spoiler: no.) 🧵

Paper accepted at AAAI 2026 - Alignment Track

Safe deployment requires behavioral consistency. We found persistent instability across scales, reasoning modes, and personas. ⤵️

Congrats to the team for unveiling an original solution for hands-free #VR interaction. CyberFinger is open for developer evaluation on scicortex.com — A wearable that augments hand tracking while staying practical for keyboard-driven creators. Excited to see what the community builds with it!

Honored to speak at Ottawa about how Canada can lead in #NeuroAI. With world-class talent, trusted institutions, & sustainable infrastructure, we can build a federated approach to AI that protects mental health & strengthens our society. Thanks @braincanada.bsky.social for the invitation!

Delighted to share our new Perspective article @natrevneuro.nature.com, led by the great @edoardochidichimo.bsky.social : "Towards an informational account of interpersonal coordination". With @loopyluppi.bsky.social, Pedro Mediano, @introspection.bsky.social, Victoria Leong and Richard Bethlehem.

New study led by @quentinmoreau.bsky.social & @vchamberland.bsky.social and @ppsp-team.bsky.social 👏 We show how brain stim can shape social inference in human–machine interaction 🧠🤖⚡ New causal evidence linking rTPJ to Theory-of-Mind & Self–Other distinction, & path towards social #neuromodulation!

Thrilled to see this beautiful work out! Immense kudos to @ryssamoffat.bsky.social for leading this ambitious project and to @escross.bsky.social for the inspiring collaboration. Glad to explore together how inter-brain synchrony reflects our social bonds and their evolution across generations 🧠🤝🧠

The social, decoupled self: interpersonal synchronization of breathing alters intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling People synchronize their periodic behavioural and physiological rhythms with each other during social interaction. While this interpersonal synchronization has largely been associated with positive ef...

We show effects of interpersonal synchronization of physiological rhythms on intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling: when we sync our breathing, our breathing–heart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship

We offer concrete steps to pursue Francisco Varela’s vision at the social level:
🫂 Capturing shared lived experience
🌀 Bridging phenomenology with social neuroscience
🧠 Informing mental health & neurodiversity research

📝 Check our #preprint: osf.io/preprints/os... (3/3)

📌 We lay the groundwork for a generative neurophenomenology:
→ integrating first-person experiential data (e.g. micro-phenomenology) at dyadic level
→ with third-person data at the interpersonal, physiological level
→ formalized with modern computational frameworks (2/3)

🤔 How can we study #consciousness between people, at the social level? 🧠✨ New #preprint co-led by Anne Monnier & Lena Adel: “Now is the Time: Operationalizing Generative Neurophenomenology through Interpersonal Methods” 🧵(1/3)

Synchronisation des cerveaux : branchés sur la même fréquence : épisode 4/4 du podcast Cerveau : les dessous de la mécanique L’activité des cerveaux d’individus peut se synchroniser lors d’une interaction, comme le toucher affectif chez un couple. Les mécanismes sous-jacents à ce phénomène restent encore méconnus. Comment la technique de l’hyperscanning permet-elle d’étudier cette synchronie ? Comment l'interpréter ?
