Here's a wonderful opportunity for postdocs and senior graduate students to learn more about the science of consciousness and discuss why consciousness matters. Apply for a spot in CIFAR's Winter School, which this year will be held in Nairobi, Kenya. #consciousness 🧠🧪 #CIFAR
I thoroughly enjoyed talking about our recent work on nested control systems for action, in which ancient subcortical visuomotor pathways are embedded within more recently evolved cortical pathways. A real team effort with @brian-corneil.bsky.social, @davidmekhaiel.bsky.social, and others🧠
Visited Niagara Falls (Canada) last Saturday. Falls were partly frozen and because it was a bright and sunny day, a rainbow had formed in mist. Stunning.
The #WesternU Centre for Functional & Metabolic Mapping is pushing the boundaries in brain research with Canada's only collection of high- and ultra-high-field MRI systems + leading cutting‑edge work that is transforming how we understand the brain.

Hey @rosenlab.bsky.social . Look what was in our local paper this weekend!
Glad I took the bus. Rebooked flight delayed because “need to change the aircraft “. In the meantime the aircraft scheduled on this route yesterday and this morning C-GGOF (FIN 405) is merrily flying around with no “maintenance issues”. Such BS.
Yes, at Western’s Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping @cfmm.bsky.social , we have a lot of Tesla (34.6 T to be exact), but the most important equipment where the best ideas come from is a bit cheaper.
Building on established strength in neuroscience, #WesternU is partnering with nine European universities as part of NeurotechEU, opening new doors for student training and research collaborations across borders.

Something is emerging in Santiago this July.
A new kind of scientific gathering. Open data. Interdisciplinary teams. A shared question that's been challenging researchers for decades.

Applications for the #CIFAR Neuroscience of Consciousness Winter School open April 29!
Join us in December to discuss "why consciousness matters": why we value it, why it might matter for moral status or exist evolutionarily, & why we have to get C-science right for society & our global future.
