Quantum computing for neuroscience: opportunities beyond classical limits — a Comment article by Annemarie Wolff, Alexandre Choquette, Georg Northoff, Atsushi Iriki & Guillaume Dumas www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience #neuroskyence @introspection.bsky.social

🧠 What happens when we stop simulating neural networks and start computing with actual living neurons? 🎙️ A short interview about biological computing, its promises, limits, and the ethical questions of consciousness with @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premie...

Why would a sleeping pill help someone recover consciousness? 🧠 Our new paper uses a multiscale #NeuroAI model to tackle the zolpidem paradox in disorders of #consciousness: from molecules → neurons → circuits → consciousness → clinic! 📝 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 💾 github.com/ppsp-team/Ph...

What mechanisms underlie health benefits of social interaction? @ryssamoffat.bsky.social @introspection.bsky.social @escross.bsky.social show that neural synchrony during a creative drawing program decreases in intergenerational dyads & increases in same-generation @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4gbafyY

During interactions with others, "there are synchronizations that appear between two nervous systems...we have this phenomenon within brains. This [also] happens between agents," said Guillaume Dumas, @introspection.bsky.social, of @mila-quebec.bsky.social at the Simons Institute.

"When we are interacting with others there is a dynamics that transcends the...people that are participating; these dynamics in return shape the people," said Guillaume Dumas, @introspection.bsky.social, of @mila-quebec.bsky.social at the Simons Institute.

The Dark Matter of Neuroscience. For ages, "neuroscience didn't have much to say about two people...in a dynamical interaction," said Guillaume Dumas, @introspection.bsky.social, of @mila-quebec.bsky.social at the Simons Institute workshop on Topics in Intelligence: World Models and Social Reasoning

"What we foresee in...cognitive science is that we move progressively from 'others' as a problem to 'others' as a form of affordances for interactions, enabling things that we aren't able to do on our own." said @introspection.bsky.social of @mila-quebec.bsky.social, at the Simons Institute.

"The question of 'other' and social cognition is kind of central in cognitive science," said Guillaume Dumas, @introspection.bsky.social, of @mila-quebec.bsky.social quebec.bsky.social, at the Simons Institute. Video: simons.berkeley.edu/talks/guilla...

The African philosophy Ubuntu — "I am because you are" — inspires Guillaume Dumas (@introspection.bsky.social) of @mila-quebec.bsky.social, in his research on social cognition and interaction. Dumas spoke at the Simons Institute workshop on Topics in Intelligence: World Models and Social Reasoning

Super excited to share new preprint from our amazing PhD student @ale-dabr.bsky.social, showing that people’s social network properties are embodied in low-level social interaction dynamics, modulating who leads, who follows, & who encodes another’s movements more! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New Extrospection #blog at @psychologytoday.com is live! We will explore the nascent #Social #NeuroAI field. My first post highlights exciting works by @honglab.bsky.social & @kanakarajanphd.bsky.social! 🔗psychologytoday.com/us/blog/extrospection/202606/social-intelligence-arises-between-minds

And here we go! With @introspection.bsky.social l

The next Models of Consciousness Conference will take place in Copenhagen! 

 We are excited to bring #MoC7 to the University of Copenhagen on October 12–16, 2026. Call for Abstracts is now open on our website (link below!)

Wow. What a project 🤩 amid a stellar lineup of other possible collaborators including @smfleming.bsky.social @introspection.bsky.social @meganakpeters.bsky.social @adeelrazi.bsky.social - these projects sound so exciting! an incredible opportunity for early career researchers #neuroskyence

🧠Peut-on parler de #conscience pour une #IA ? Réponses à l'@umontreal.ca de @introspection.bsky.social, Jonathan Simon et Alexander Heather dans une conférence de @monicmontreal.bsky.social. Verdict : le débat est plus vivant que jamais. 🤖 #IntelligenceArtificielle

1/6 Excited to share the call for posters & registration for the 2nd XSCAPE Workshop: "Varieties of Externalism" ! 📅 Friday, April 10th, 2026 — Gallery Room, Bramber House, University of Sussex Registration is free but places are limited. 🧵

Keynote on #Hyperscanning at INRIA Paris last Friday, 15 years after my first work on the topic, right next to where it all started. Beyond history, I shared our next steps: Clinical translation, Multimodal dynamical/info-theory integration, and #SocialNeuroAI! ... #StayTuned

🚨 New article in #NCONSC Now is the time: operationalizing generative neurophenomenology through interpersonal methods academic.oup.com/nc/article/2... @introspection.bsky.social #consciousness 🧠🧪

🎊📜 NEW PAPER 📜🎊 Can we seriously build synthetic consciousness? And if so, where do we start? I’m super excited to present recent publication in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews where @jaanaru.bsky.social and I confront this challenge head on. 1/n

1/8 Do LLMs have stable personalities? We ran 2 million tests. (Spoiler: no.) 🧵 Paper accepted at AAAI 2026 - Alignment Track Safe deployment requires behavioral consistency. We found persistent instability across scales, reasoning modes, and personas. ⤵️

Heureux de participer à nouveau à "La Science, CQFD" sur @franceculture.fr Avec @giadapistilli.com, nous parlons d'#IA génératives devenues confidents ou substituts émotionnels, et des risques liés à la solitude et à la dépendance affective. 🎧 www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...
