What looks like switching off may be one of the mind’s most revealing states. 💬

Delighted to give the inaugural talk of the Inferences & Capacities series — on mind blanking, mental imagery, and intrusive imagery.

A big thank you to our chair Anil Seth and all tutors for their presence and guidance.

From tutorials and presentations to career panels and informal discussions, these exchanges are invaluable for young researchers and something the MESEC is proud to foster. ⭐️🧠

Animal consciousness was the focus on Day 4 with Angelica Kaufmann.
Participants explored different perspectives and exchanged ideas around how to approach consciousness beyond humans. 🐝🦇🐙

Thrilled to share that “Temporal Cognition in Apes”, co-authored with Gerardo Viera, is now out in the Australasian Journal of Philosophy.
In the paper we develop a new way of thinking about the mental representation of time in animals. https://t.co/mmHjndS4sW

Un innovativo metodo sviluppato permette di decodificare l’immaginazione delle azioni non direttamente dal cervello, ma dai muscoli. Metodo - MultiMEP - grazie al quale si può trasferire l’informazione relativa all’immaginazione di un gesto dal cervello ai muscoli e decodificarla

Great news! The FIS3 Adv Grant from @mur_gov_ will support @CognitionIn for the next 5 years as we dig deeper into the foundations of human sociality. Big thanks to our team!

🧠 Agire insieme ≠ agire “affiancati”.
Con uno studio dual-EEG abbiamo mostrato che condividere un obiettivo implica:
⚡ costo cognitivo iniziale
✅ efficienza neurale finale (grazie alla prevedibilità del partner)
