Conscious active inference I: A quantum model naturally implements the path integral needed for real-time planning and control
Michael C. Wiest and Arjan Singh Puniani
A theoretical review proposing quantum dynamics as a possible implementation of path integration in temporally deep active inference. It does not demonstrate that implementation in neurons.
Conscious active inference II: Quantum orchestrated objective reduction among intraneuronal microtubules naturally accounts for discrete perceptual cycles
Michael C. Wiest and Arjan Singh Puniani
A companion theoretical review arguing that Orch OR microtubule dynamics could provide discrete perceptual cycles for conscious active inference. It does not constitute experimental proof of a quantum mechanism for consciousness.
Making routine psychophysical calibration tasks for bidirectional brain-computer interfaces more fun
Arjan Singh Puniani, Chantal Verbaarschot, Charles Greenspon, Hannah Higgins, Sliman Bensmaia, and Robert Gaunt
A comparison of a Space Invaders-like intracortical stimulation calibration task with a standard psychophysical task, focused on engagement and threshold validity.

Novel decoder helps people with paralysis click-and-drag a computer cursor using just their thoughts
A reported research feature on a brain–computer-interface decoder designed to make point-and-click and click-and-drag computer control more accessible.
