[Dr. Jennifer Cassidy @OxfordDiplomat]

I have no words of my own that could even come close to conveying what I have just seen and we have all just witnessed.

So I turn to the direct words of Ambassador Husam Zomlot, @hzomlot , Head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK. Listen carefully to his words:

“Israel media did not show the mass murder of Palestinian children and innocent civilians, or the mass destruction of Gaza. But Israeli media has no qualms about showing these savage images of Israeli occupation forces detaining and stripping civilians taken from a UN shelter in Gaza today. This evokes some of humanity's darkest passages of history. It is well past time that the world speaks as one and demands - and enforces - an immediate and permanent #ceasefire.”

🧵1/8 🚨 New #preprint alert! 🚨 This new study by @gershbrain and I is the first to directly test the predictions of our policy compression model, which describes how capacity-limited agents trade reward for simpler policies to reduce cognitive cost

An outsider's perspective: I respond to Tim Bayne’s article about whether the integrated information theory (IIT) of consciousness should be considered pseudoscience. https://t.co/XHwR7MAhNs

Excited to share that my PhD work is now published in @CellReports !
We showed that Drosophila dopaminergic neurons encode innate odor values and continuously update the values in a non-associative manner!!

As a member of ASSC and part of two TWCF-funded initiatives, I signed the IIT letter. I have some further thoughts on why I signed that I think are worth reading (apologies that this is long!) and worthy of further discussion:

@Anne_On_Tw @gaia_molinaro @TrendsCognSci thanks! strangely enough, when I open the link on my computer it doesn't work, but when I do on my phone it does ... i have the pdf now though, Gaia kindly shared via email

[Marion Rouault @marion_rouault]

📢I am looking for a postdoc to work on the cognitive neuroscience of self-beliefs at @InstitutCerveau 🤩🧠✨ - details here: https://t.co/ndEFImMTls informal inquiries are welcome & RT is appreciated 🙏

[aurelio cortese @aure_cor]

Looking forward to this symposium! Hope to see many of you :)

[Tom Macpherson @tom_mac_lab]

To anyone at JNS meeting. I’ll be chairing a symposium on “Cross-species mechanisms of learning and adaptive behavior” tomorrow from 8:45-10:45 alongside @aure_cor. We have a fantastic selection of speakers including @BiancaASilva11, @AyakaKat0, and Ai Koizumi. Hope to see you!

Hey fellow researchers in @ArcCogitate, we @CA_Cushing @mocherkaoui have written this open letter to you https://t.co/fRfHjbXRcn regarding the impact of financial COIs related to your project to hopefully start an open and constructive discussion with you.

[Vincent Taschereau-Dumouchel @Vincent_T_D]

Bonjour #ohbm! Looking for interesting talks this afternoon? Come to our symposium on Subjective experience and internal representations (14h45 # 211) We will cover multiple imaging modalities and approaches with the great @AthinaTzovara @aure_cor and Julia Kam Come take a look!

[Rob Mok @Rob_Mok]

Our paper "A multilevel account of hippocampal function in spatial and concept learning: Bridging models of behavior and neural assemblies" is out in Science Advances! w/ @ProfData @EP_UCL @mrccbu @ScienceAdvances

[aurelio cortese @aure_cor]

beautifully written, thanks @smfleming. sums up very well the current state of consciousness research. the potential but also the issues.

[megan peters 🧠 @meganakpeters]

@NewsfromScience but... neither idea 'lost'! this is not what the preprint says, nor is it what was said in the event. your headline is irresponsibly inaccurate. i would hope for better in the future.

How is ongoing visual experience represented?

Using intracranial recordings, we uncover distinct representation dynamics in the ventral stream and prefrontal cortex.
