Just released—a brand new special issue focused entirely on interoception. More to follow, but beyond my usual excitement is the fact that this will be kickstarting 2021!!! cell.com/trends/neurosc…

AI is becoming clinically relevant for mood and anxiety care—but the evidence is uneven, and enthusiasm must be matched by guardrails. I point out that the priority now is not “AI everywhere,” but actionable, validated, clinically accountable tools that improve care.

Pleased to announce the Embodied Tech Summit, happening in London June 10: embodied.tech

We've learned a lot about the heartbeat evoked potential (HEP), but as this recent meta-analysis suggests, we have a lot more to learn when it comes to clinical applications of it. Kudos to Erica, Carolyn et al. on a monumental effort. #interoception pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42092635/

@ruimcosta @AllenInstitute Very nice Rui! Translation and acceleration in the public sphere requires connection with the community, and I love seeing how an institute with distinguished scientific excellence is leading by example. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for the @AllenInstitute

Today, we’re sharing a new brand for the @AllenInstitute that reflects our mission: accelerating science for a healthier world. This brand is not a new logo. It is a language that tells who we are, our process, our values, and our commitment to enabling others—scientists, partners, and communities—to build on the knowledge and tools we make free for all. This video captures the creative journey that led to the new brand. I invite you to watch and reflect with us.

If you are unable to join or did not receive an invitation, please sign on to the Embodied Minds interest list, please stay connected by shooting us an email: connect@embodiedminds.ai. You will be the first to hear about future events.

We have less than 1 week until the Embodied Minds Summit, and the agenda is finalized! embodiedminds.ai If you are still waiting for an invitation, the final wave for this small invite-only meeting will be going out later today, so stay tuned.

The draft agenda for the UCLA Embodied Minds Summit is now live on the website! See “Day 2 — The Conference”. It contains the workshop assignments and speaker order. embodiedminds.ai

In case anyone not attending the meeting is interested in reading along, we’re putting together a reading list from speakers and will post that. For a good entry book on the topic of consciousness, I’ve been enjoying Michael Pollan’s new book:

This meeting is sponsored by the UCLA Luskin Fund and by the wonderful folks at BrainMind and Unlikely Collaborators, without whom it would not be possible. 🙏🏻

We are also committed to extending the impact of this meeting beyond those in the room. Register your interest to receive curated insights and resources as they become available

I am pleased to announce the Embodied Minds Summit, a two-day gathering on interoception, consciousness, and the future of self-understanding in the age of artificial intelligence. May 2–3, 2026 | Los Angeles embodiedminds.ai
