In this work, we evaluate the theoretical status of neural oscillations and local field potentials generally. A thread... 🧵

Yesterday at 2pm the first honeybee (Apis mellifera) in this species’ evolutionary history managed to pull a string for reward. They are much harder to train than bumblebees, though!

We evaluated perceptual, emotional, and behavioral differences between visceral and somatic stimulation!

On a personal note, this is the first paper from my FWO fellowship & my first ever “basic-mechanistic” study. It will forever hold a special place in my ❤️

Is it possible to recognise the absence of a thing without first being able to detect or differentiate its presence?

What a fascinating paper - looking forward to understanding the methodology in more detail 👇🔥

This is basically my inner monologue

Derek Arnold Bettina Struff #Woke #FBPE #FBPR #NHS #RejoinEU But the ability to imagine sounds - at least to differentiate and discriminate pitch - can be *trained* which suggests that subjective metacognitive ability is a skill. I don't see how vision is any different - one can develop a better 'eye' as an artist or sportsperson...

'Self-improvising Memories: a perspective on memories as agential, dynamically-reinterpreting cognitive glue'

This draft will surely be changed a lot (shortened & sanitized) when it becomes a reviewed paper, so here's the original.

My PhD student and I try to describe our lived experiences of #Aphantasia . Loren has a deaf and blind mind. She has no pre-experience of content when she writes direct from her subconscious. She also has unusual visual experiences.

There's a moment when each of these illusions is made 'whole' like an immensely satisfying musical cadence coming to resolution
