My first first-author paper is out! A slightly long thread, but what else are long weekends for?

My lab is looking for a new lab manager/research assistant! research-princeton.icims.com/jobs/18605/res… We are especially interested in computationally-oriented people who want to understand learning behavior & are thinking of grad school in the future (though ideally this is a two year job). /1

Looking forward to teaching this alongside an amazing line up of researchers!

Interested in getting some hands-on experience learning computational modeling approaches for decision-making questions across the adult lifespan? Come attend our *free* workshop, hosted by @SRNDNA, on Sat July 27, in Philly! (Deadline Apr 1) srndna.utdallas.edu/Events/computa…

Awesome work, Guillaume!! 🎉

The notion that goals are central to human cognition is intuitive, yet learning and decision-making researchers have often overlooked the topic. In this @TrendsCognSci article, @Anne_On_Tw and I propose it’s time to start studying goals in their own right authors.elsevier.com/a/1hjzw4sIRvPN…

@szorowi1 @NIMHgov Congratulations, Sam!!!! 🎉

First day at Emory and a good time to mention that I will be reviewing PhD apps this cycle! Lab website: translational-lab.com Faculty profile: psychology.emory.edu/home/people/fa… Prospective student FAQ: docs.google.com/document/d/1d7…

We are excited to announce an alpha release of our new HSSM python-based toolbox! HSSM (hierarchical sequential sampling modeling) is a completely overhauled package, replacing HDDM as a much more general and computationally efficient successor. github.com/lnccbrown/HSSM

@DemaestriC Thanks Camila!!

@AlanaJaskir Woo!!! Congrats Alana !!!

Very thankful for this recognition! Congrats to all the awardees!

@youtao_lu Thank you, Youtao!

@AlanaJaskir Congratulations!

@ShariceClough @duffalab @brownschmidt Congratulations!!!!

It has been an incredible journey and an honor and a privilege to get to do this science. I am so grateful to my mentors @duffalab and @brownschmidt. Looking forward to the next chapter! #PhDone

@amitaishenhav @psychNerdJae Thank you!!

Congratulations @psychNerdJae and @AlanaJaskir!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

@SchreinerDrew Absolutely, intriguing to think about!

@AlanaJaskir Thanks for the detailed response! Re: the relative amount of expression - no idea. Interesting to wonder if/how relative D1/D2 levels might vary (and perhaps shift!) to give you a sort of continuum of responses between pure D1 or D2.

My first first-author paper is out! A slightly long thread, but what else are long weekends for?

@SchreinerDrew We don’t make any assumptions about D1 vs D2 in the critic though! Another possibility to explore. Will need to think more about it! Thanks for the thought-provoking question!

@SchreinerDrew The actors, whose D1/D2 dynamics I show in the thread, are what contribute to action selection. The critic evaluates those choices. Looking quickly at the preprint, looks like dorsal (i.e. actors) shows a little less co-expressing than other areas.

@braindoctor84 shared on thread, thanks!!

@lauraabusta Thanks Laura!!
