I had an interesting conversation with Evan on his podcast Giant's Shoulder, talking about conscious and unconscious mental processes, fish consciousness, and the hypothesis that aphantasia is unconscious imagery.

DecNef is a powerful tool for brain modulation but remains hard to optimize; we built a simulation framework using “virtual subjs” as ML generative models to prototype protocols before exps, & showed conditions in which DecNef fails to induce learning

@MatthiasMichel_ @meganakpeters @axelcleeremans Thank you @MatthiasMichel_ your work has been a big inspirition for this project!

1/Preprint Alert🔔: Across two experiments plus a computational model, we show the visual system compresses complex scenes into summary statistics that can guide behavior without conscious access to the task-defining features. We term this the Ensemble Blindsight effect.
