« Il n’y a qu’une seule bonne recherche, et elle innove en permanence »  Entretien avec Maria Leptin, la présidente de l’ERC. 🖊️@MariusGilbert @leSoir « L’innovation par la quête du savoir »: lesoir.be/650946/article… 🇪🇺

Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design. But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️

The European Research Council (ERC) is simplifying funding by reducing reporting burdens for researchers & host institutions. This aligns with calls for "radical simplification" and the "Trust Researchers" petition. A trust-first approach can lead to transformative changes. aerg.eu/news/Simple%20…

Our newest article: Collective Decision Making by Embodied Neural Agents Available open-access from PNAS Nexus: doi.org/10.1093/pnasne… Congratulations and thanks to all our co-authors, especially Nicolas Coucke who initiated and led the study!!

Don’t miss it!! We are eager to discuss consciousness with you there 🙏

🧠 A key neurocognitive process for decision-making is the so-called sense of agency (SoA), which refers to the perception that we are the authors of our actions and their consequences. To assess whether the neural basis of SoA differs between the civilian and military

five excellent talks from the NYU workshop on functions of consciousness last month. speakers: dylan ludwig (who also organized), joshua shepherd (Conscious Action), Matthias Michel, marisa carrasco (The Carrasco Lab), and Axel Cleeremans. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

What an extraordinary day at #ASSC2025! So inspiring today’s presentations and meeting brilliant minds from around the world. Look out for Josh Kellie, our Senior Journal Manager, he’d love to chat about open access publishing, open science, and ways to get involved with us.

The new journal "Experimental Philosophy" is now on X. Experimental Philosophy Journal x.com/xphijournal Please retweet.

I think this thread tells you everything you need to know about JD Vance and the way he views law and order. Pathetic. He should be impeached for this tweet.

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.

My commentary on Anil Seth's BBS article: philpapers.org/rec/MICBOF. We should bet on functionalism.

1/🧵 Out today in Frontiers Frontiers in Science: “Consciousness science: where are we, where are we going, and what if we get there?" By Axel Cleeremans, Liad Mudrik, & me (a CIFAR & European Research Council (ERC) production🧠). frontiersin.org/journals/scien…

Thank you European Research Council (ERC) for supporting my work and that of Liad Mudrik and Anil Seth !
