🗣️🛜🟰🧠: Language regions are hubs that aren't fixed. They are spatiotemporally dynamic, connecting w/ 44% of peripheral brain regions at any moment. These are averaged and thresholded away, leaving 'the language network' ONLY in the aggregate over time: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New preprint led by @thelablab:
Our meta-analysis of 579 neuroimaging studies finds little evidence for a single, fixed neural core of consciousness. Instead, the findings support distributed systems that combine differently depending on context.

🆕 Neuroimaging dataset released!
I’m happy to share that our Naturalistic Neuroimaging Database (NNDb3T+) is now publicly available! NNDb3T+ captures multimodal brain activity in a naturalistic setting with 40 participants and over 160 hours of scanning!
ISC maps attached :)

Very happy that our study looking at complex hallucination proneness across the lifspan is new out in Cortex! @GeorgiaMNeuro Laura Haye @mlisi6 @j_greenwood @thelablab @TesDekker

How a multifaceted understanding of emergence can illuminate the link between consciousness and life!

A psychedelic drug disorganizes cortical traveling waves. Groovy work.

Speech as a psychedelic 'biomarker'? 🧵
In our new preprint, we analysed voice journals before & after 5-MeO-DMT using NLP + acoustic features.

Our multimodal transformer tool for automating word-concreteness ratings is published today
📝 C-ratings are used in research across Cognitive Science
💶 They take time and money to collect
⚙️ Automation solves this + we get in-context ratings for free!

New preprint! With @GeorgiaMNeuro Laura Haye @mlisi6 @j_greenwood @thelablab @TesDekker

We explored the tendency to experience complex hallucinatory imagery in older-age adults using experimental techniques (Ganzfeld/ganzflicker)
First mobile phone based study tracking longitudinal changes in language & voice around #psychedelics 📱🗣️⏲️👽🍄. We show a shift from external focus to introspection, predicting psychological transformations, e.g., in #wellbeing ❤️🩹.
Beautiful work @joanna_kuc & company 👏🎉.

"Only by losing language can we start to dismantle the scaffolding that supports our notion of the world and the self."

We think of language as a transparent tool for expressing thoughts & describing reality. Philosophers agree that “the map is not the territory”. Recent thinkers argue that language plays a fundamental role in shaping our perception of the world & of self. iai.tv/articles/language-cre…

I also see the words fall, they come from up above, as if they were little luminous objects falling from the sky, the language falls on the sacred table, falls on my body, then with me hands, I catch word after word
