Very excited to see this work from Eyiyemis Damisah's group at Yale out in @natneuro.nature.com
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
They combined our gamified aversive learning task (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) with single unit recordings to show that claustrum neurons encode uncertainty
What if #interoception is more than accurately detecting the body?
In our super-fresh Opinion in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social w/ @micahgallen.com @leahbanellis.bsky.social and Gioia Bottesi we ask a different question: what do bodily signals mean for the self?
Excited to be launching our new PhD program in Minds and Machines at UCL with co-Directors Tali Sharot and @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social
