Upcoming
The Internal Dynamics of Decisions: From rats and primates to AI
A poster at The Science of Consciousness 2026, Paradise Point Resort, San Diego, California, October 11 to 16, 2026. I’ll be standing at it for Poster Session 1, Tuesday, October 13, 7:30 to 9:30 pm, so come find me. It’s the same study behind the Brain, or AI model? talk below: rat cortex, primate cortex, and AI models, and whether they commit to a decision the same way. The full write-up is the preprint, so cite that, not the poster.
Retracted, but still cited: at least 44,046 times in 2024 alone
Five minutes, pre-recorded, at AIMOS 2026, the annual conference of the Association for Interdisciplinary Meta-Research and Open Science (AIMOS), at Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, November 30 to December 2, 2026. The talk joins every retraction in the Retraction Watch database against the OpenCitations Index. Of 999,842 citations pointing at a retracted paper, 330,834 were made after the retraction date. Every number comes out of a public deposit at Harvard Dataverse, CC BY 4.0.

Available for booking
The research as talks, in plain language. Both run on live demonstrations, not slides.
Brain, or AI model? The Internal Dynamics of Decisions: From rats and primates to AI
One analysis, run live on rat cortex, primate cortex, and AI models: do they commit to a decision the same way? Built on the preprint The Internal Dynamics of Decisions: From Rats and Primates to AI.
Trust me, it's cited: catching AI's invented sources live
Your AI writes a confident bibliography. Some of it doesn't exist. The audience tries to spot the fakes; then we check them live.
