Our paper just out on how emergent group behaviour can solve a complex task, and make people feel more connected in the process, in Collective Intelligence: shorturl.at/xDKBv
(1st author Madalina Sas, with @PedroMediano @_fernando_rosas Hillary Leone and and others)

New preprint out, where we show that neural complexity (CSER) tracks fine-grained perceptual clarity within wakefulness: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Congrats to primary author Alberto Liardi & co-authors @PedroMediano @_fernando_rosas

We have a new preprint! Alzheimer's patients have a radically different neural informational signature compared to healthy controls, suggesting diminished consciousness, and a skewed cognitive profile. Mammoth, and important, work, spearheaded by @KeenanDown

Happy to announce this new preprint!
In it, we use info decomp (ΦID) on fMRI in Alzheimer's and MCI to explore how info-dynamic representations change.
AD saw big decreases in synergy ('deductive' information) and increases in redundancy.
Find it here👇

How do some people keep their minds sharp when they get older, while others experience cognitive decline? In our new paper, we examined cognitive reserve, which is the brain’s resilience in the face of challenges: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #neuroscience #cognition #aging 1/7

My friend 林居正 (Chu-Cheng) has created an amazing Lego Science Lab! And if it gets over 10,000 supporters, it actually gets sold! Please add your support to this brilliant project: beta.ideas.lego.com/product-…

Exciting news! Our preprint, "Informational Complexity as a Neural Marker of Cognitive Reserve", is now available! Here, we explore how neural complexity relates to cognitive reserve. Check it out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #CognitiveReserve #Preprint #Neuroscience

(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret.
I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT.

How do you compare different types of (PID) information across complex systems (e.g. brains)? We have a new robust method to do this! See preprint, with @_fernando_rosas @RCarhartHarris @rhizoqualia and @PedroMediano arxiv.org/abs/2410.11583

1/ New preprint!
Neuroscience uses advanced methods to study brain regions/neurons/genes (order 1), couples of them (order 2), triplets (order 3), etc. But haven't we lacked a clear conceptual map to organize these diverse methods and integrate findings?

Great video about emergence explaining ideas related to our recent work with extraordinary clarity!

The universe creates complexity out of simplicity, but despite many attempts at understanding how, scientists still don't understand it. One thing we do know is that it relies on emergence. A group of scientists has now made big progress on explaining it
