Lab @ ESI Frankfurt. We believe the brain is noise-free. Or mostly-noise-free-ish. And that if we stare at behaving brains long enough, it will ALL MAKE SENSE.

Now out in NatComms: Mice and monkeys spontaneously shift through comparable cognitive states - and it's written all over their faces! (1/7)

Been using the beta version for r a while and wouldn't wanna miss it. :)

Announcing the R2 metal implantation system. A machined stainless steel replacement for the weakest link in the R2drive / R2rail workflow: the probe holder. Smaller. Stronger. Better aligned. And it comes with a proper storage-and-assembly case.🧵

@Nickyfrags @Drug_Researcher @psybalazs Also, prolonged psychedelic therapy should be considered. If the underground is anything to go by, positive effects may compound with more continued practice (e.g. sessions every 6-12 months).

@psybalazs @ZaneQarni @JAMAPsych Which may also be an argument to test prolonged psychedelic therapy (e.g. a session every 6-12 months) for best effects - after all, in the so-called underground, people seem to report continued improvement with continued practice...

I thought we would never work on gamma oscillations again but I was wrong! So happy to see this out in @Nature, truly an epic project spearheaded by @QuentinPerreno1. Gamma isn't always an oscillation, but it's critical for sensory encoding and perceptual performance. @YaleNeuro

@breath_Guy @alieninsect would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Aaand we have our final line-up for ESI-SyNC 2025! Check it out! :)
Join us for two exciting days of figuring out what altered states of consciousness do in (and for) your brain!

What shifts in our brain when our consciousness shifts? On Sept 8-9, we will explore this question at ESI-SyNC 2025, with exciting talks, posters and discussions on the neural dynamics of altered consciousness, from psychedelics to near-death experiences and meditation. (1/2)

🇩🇪 3-year universal basic income (UBI) study, in which n=120 received UBI, n=1500 did not. Website is pretty neat, check it out for core findings.

@RCarhartHarris Apart from yours ;) (snow globe etc.) , i'd describe it as a freedom from constraint: you have, say, a river that has been heavily managed with damns, shore walls... (I.e. expected thought patterns). You remove those to let the water (I.e. information) flow freely where it wants.

Chocolate consumption enhances cognitive function.

There is powerful correlation between chocolate intake & the number of Nobel Prize recipients.

@RCarhartHarris I'd just add 'and at times actively co-opted'... ;)

Sweet, sweet review by the awesome @AnneEUrai on the beautiful mess that is behaviour.
Also, best abstract ending I've seen in a long time:
'There is probably no such thing as stable behavior.'
