We focus on different aspects of human conscious functioning, from perception, through attention, memory, decision making, up to the concept of self.

I have many pictures of Dan Dennett - this one captures one of his many qualities: He could do serious things with humour. But there is only sadness in his passing flickr.com/photos/axc/272887…

I'm excited to share our work demonstrating how we can infer pain from harmless stimuli 🥵🥶 This is the result of more than a decade of partnership with @micahgallen, the relentless effort of everyone involved, especially the talented @EhmsenFischer 🌟Our best work so far!
Thermosensory predictive coding underpins an illusion of pain! Our new study reveals how perceptions of pain can emerge from the interplay between thermal sensations, expectations, and uncertainty. Check out our thread for all the details! 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited to share my first preprint: a novel visual illusion discovered by @renrutmailliw and @HinzeHogendoorn, which we call the "Split-Stimulus Effect", in which a single flashed stimulus is perceived to be in two different locations simultaneously. [1/5] osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/4r…
