Season 2 of the @netflix@voxmedia series The Mind, Explained, narrated by the formidable @_juliannemoore is streaming now! I'm thrilled to be in the episodes on 🎨#creativity (w/ @DBtodomundo) &🎭personality, discussing the #neuroscience of both!

Nice shout-out to climate scientist/friend @MichaelEMann! See #DontLookUp@dontlookupfilm not only b/c it's entertaining, but b/c its an important commentary on how ignoring #scientists/scientific consensus (on climate, vaccines...) & failing to take action has dire consequences.
How is the pandemic changing our brains? Watch screenwriter Geneva Robertson-Dworet talk with neuroscientist and Clinical Psychologist @heather_berlin on our latest #AskAScientist episode. #scicomm#COVID19
"I think the very simple fact that we have this capacity for impulse control and emotional regulation has allowed us to build civilizations and technology and buildings and societies." - @heather_berlin#neuroscience#impulsivity https://t.co/lWBxYeCkEr
We think of the cortex in terms of geographical regions, but cortex works as a whole. This holistic viewpoint is detailed in our just published paper
@FrontPsychol - Global Workspace Theory & Prefrontal Cortex: Recent Developments. (Baars, Geld & Kozma) @BernardJBaars@sbkaufman
NEW EPISODE!!! Episode 17 of the Podcast On Consciousness explores the links between cutting edge #brain evidence and how that supports or updates our understanding of #consciousness and the Global Workspace Theory (GWT).

@BernardJBaars & our CSO David Edelman @DoctorOcto suggest a comparative framework for investigating subjectivity that considers the human case as benchmark + emphasizes behavioral output as a form of report, like the language-based reports used in studies of human consciousness.
“We have discovered a fundamental property of the brain that opens the window to conceptualizing how the organ maximizes its power and optimizes its function"
I found this talk by @heather_berlin to be quite engaging and informative. In the lecture, Dr. Berlin discusses how #conscious thoughts become unconscious and vice versa, and how people are able to override their #unconscious drives by force of will. https://t.co/gFJtkM4Ydv
Recently, @DoctorOcto and I had the distinct pleasure of being guests on the 'Brain Science' podcast. Together with its host, @docartemis, we got to talk about the history of studying #consciousness and the different theories that try to explain it. https://t.co/gbETL9zxKJ
