As a hopefully welcome interruption from the riotous IIT discourse on your timeline; my FIRST preprint is out now! Let’s take a minute to think about how the brain does time : https://t.co/KUVne1SeA4 🧵 1/14
What does the earth sound like? I built a tool that lets you drag a needle across any landscape on Earth like a record player, and hear and export it as audio.

@camtology@zzzergio I’m also failing to imagine how attractor landscapes in dynamical systems relate to [de]teretorialization. Could you say more?
I’m sympathetic to mathsing 1k plateaus ideas tho. E.g modelling rhizomes under graph theory / assemblages under category theory
We're still recruiting healthy participants for psilocybin study!
If you have 3-5 lifetime psychedelic experiences, minimal meditation experience, and can commit to a 21-day prep course with visits to UCL over a 4-week period, we want to hear from you!

📢 Exciting opportunity: @UCL_CPU is hiring a postdoc for a new clinical trial exploring nitrous oxide therapy for PTSD!
Work alongside @sunjeevk in a the best lab ever...
Please share!

How can 2C-B 💊contribute to psychedelic neuroscience, an otherwise "forgotten" psychedelic? We went off with @singletonion ,@NL_Mason , @sattertt and Jan to take an initial look at this using 7T resting state fMRI. 👇

Very excited to see this out - I think this will go down as a big moment in our understanding of psychedelic neuroscience.
There's also quite a bit more cool stuff in the pipeline, so give @rhizoqualia a follow to stay in the loop. Watch this space...
Ever wondered what happens in the brain when someone takes the world’s most powerful psychedelic drug?🧐Me too! So we went and found out.
Our new preprint is now live where you can read all about it:

absolutely fizzing about the 5-MeO-DMT EEG study preprint published today. singularities/topological defect endurance reduced in cortical dynamics – very similar to the phenomenology observed by the QRI HEART team @rhizoqualia
If you prefer, a riveting podcast version of the paper. Thanks to @philomateo for generating this with #NotebookLM. 🤯

The age of spiritual machines: Language quietus induces synthetic altered states of consciousness in AI
Shifting CLIP/FLAVA's attention away from language simulates ego-loss & unitive & minimal phenomenal states via semantic category blurring 🍄🧘

V happy that this study is now published in @eLife with nice reviews and a wonderful editorial assessment. Quantifying multimodal context (of spoken language) in naturalistic stimuli is not an easy task, but we hope this can provide some inspiration. 🧵https://t.co/tLPwGgX5cm
⚡️New preprint!!
"Drugs are neither good nor evil"
A large natural language processing sentiment analysis of the PubMed literature on drugs since the Controlled Substances Act investigating how the scientific discourse evolved in the past~5.5 decades

Excited for this chapter by Ravi Das and me (yes, the reference will be Doss & Das) on pharmacology and episodic memory to be out and appear in the Encyclopedia of the Human Brain. Much love to the editor @CharanRanganath for asking me to write this.

Thank you, Japan 🇯🇵, and thank you, @ASSC27tokyo@theASSC ! 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to all the amazing souls who engaged with my poster on Reddit data mining for insights into the phenomenology of mystical experiences using BIG data. 🧠✨
This trip holds a special place in my heart. Growing up in Japan as a little girl and now returning as an adult researcher to the University of Tokyo is truly powerful. 🌸👩🔬 Linking life’s lineages and closing the circle... #ASSC #Neuroscience #Japan #Research #Phenomenology #BigData
This is what the English 'countryside', as seen from a train, looks like. Because it's green, I guess things look good. But look how empty of wildlife it is. Not a single bird visible. Not one. Massive swathes of our 'countryside' are just devoid of animals.
