📢Maths in the Brain Workshop 2026 in Melbourne.
We will bring together researchers across Australia with a shared interest in understanding the brain from a quantitative perspective.
This year's keynote is delivered by Professor James Cole, University College London.

We're hiring a Program Manager to join the Meditation Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to be in the thick of our efforts. You would work closely with us to drive our current projects forward....

Interdisciplinarity Through Research Collaboration & Philosophy and Neuroscience Mentorship Program applications are due 2.28.26. Visit our website for more information.

This was a really fun conversation to have, thanks Josh! (www.linkedin.com/in/joshricha/)
Hagar did an excellent job on this and it was really fun to be involved with the project. :) Thanks to Matthew @matthewsacchet.bsky.social , Lars and Malcolm @malcolmnz.bsky.social for all their work in making this happen as well!
A lovely Christmas present: this paper led by Henrik Röhr is now out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/YCJX8T...
In this paper, we predict on a single-trial level whether someone is practising a self-boundary dissolution meditation practice on the basis of their EEG data

I'm biased, but I think Neuromatch has done a lot of good in helping make computational science education accessible. Please consider donating to help us continue!
Very excited to announce that our new paper “Are Dreams Narrative Experiences? How Assumptions About Fictional Narratives Shape Debates on Dream Experiences” is officially published in Topoi.
I am truly honoured to have collaborated with my supervisor, Jennifer Windt, on this work.

Hey all,
Thomas Metzinger has a new book out, have a look: www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B0FZ...
@metzinger.bsky.social
Looking forward!
Definitely, odds are I'll be findable beside the coffee station ;-)

The work on the self is a collaboration with @kevinberryman.bsky.social, Aviva Berkovich-Ohana, Yair Dor-Ziderman, @matthewsacchet.bsky.social and @rubenlaukkonen.bsky.social
Excited for the Australasian Society for Philosophy and Psychology (ASPP) 2025 Conference next week in Melbourne 24-25 Nov.
I'll be presenting posters on multi-dimensional selfing and affective valence with active inference.

How can lived experience be mathematically formalized, and what might computational models reveal about the depths of consciousness during advanced meditation?
As research on advanced meditation enters a new era, a powerful question emerges: Can we mathematically model meditative experience ...
If you weren't aware and are interested in active inference and predictive processing, check out the Active Inference Symposium @actinfinstitute.bsky.social (just started).
It's free, online, and has lots of great talks lined up, as well as workshops on modelling: coda.io/d/Applied-Ac...
Looking forward to visiting the Contemplative Sciences Center at the University of Virginia on Monday and having great conversations there! @mclsheehy.bsky.social @monash-m3cs.bsky.social csc.virginia.edu

Today is poster day #2 at @iscr.bsky.social
here in Chapel Hill. I'll be sharing work on how deep meditative experience challenges existing computational accounts of affective valence. Come by and pepper me with questions, 4:30-6pm :)
#ISCR2025
If attending @iscr.bsky.social, come by my poster at 4:30pm tomorrow.
I'll present work on clarifying selfing with active inference. This is collaborative work with @kevinberryman.bsky.social, @rubenlaukkonen.bsky.social, @matthewsacchet.bsky.social, Aviva Berkovich-Ohana and Yair Dor-Ziderman.
A big thanks to @matthewsacchet.bsky.social for putting it together!
