Tyler Adkins

I really love giving talks. Gets me so excited about science and the awesome work folks in my lab (@tylerjadkins1, @jabrissenden, Quynh) are doing

CoCoA lab presentations at Psychonomics! Poster 1072 TODAY at 1pm Eastern Reward Accelerates the Preparation of Goal-Directed Actions @tylerjadkins1 Talk 162 Sat 10am Eastern Reward Influences the Flexible Allocation of Resources in Visual Working Memory @jabrissenden

@DemidenkoMI @EricFeczko Michael you can look up salaries of staff in our dept they make much more than we do

@EricFeczko Was waiting to see how long until one of these popped up 😂😂 Yes, there are some administrators that are overpaid. Talking avg admin/lab staff that are paid 11-19hr, whom are many. Some uni maximum for certain roles are like $20hr.. didn't have enough characters for caveats😭

I see on here a bit about how PhD students & postdocs are underpaid. But you know who deserves a raise at universities? The staff. You know, the people that keep it all together for the rest of us.

@smithbarryc @hakwanlau @BBCRadio4 Only neural activity exists

@smithbarryc @hakwanlau @BBCRadio4 Can one be both an idealist and a materialist?

‘Everything you see, taste, smell and touch isn’t real but an illusion. They are just electrical impulses.’ ?? Woeful BS from neuroscientist David Eagleman @BBCRadio4 Th Life Scientific who confuses perceptions with what they are perceptions of. Leave the philosophy to the pros

@arossotto @TarazLee Yea for sure, thanks for the invitation.

@TarazLee @tylerjadkins1 @tylerjadkins1 I think our lab would love to hear more about this work, would you be interested in guest-presenting it sometime this fall ?

So glad this one is finally out! link.springer.com/article/10.375… We show that human reaching decisions with rewards and penalties are best described by a heuristic strategy rather than an optimal integration of value. @tylerjadkins1 Explainer thread from our preprint below:

Check out my latest preprint “Reward influences the allocation but not the availability of resources in visual working memory” w/ @tylerjadkins1, Amanda Hsu, and @TarazLee (1/7) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Yet another one by the awesome @tylerjadkins1! psyarxiv.com/hv9mz/ How does the prospect of reward and motivation impact the balance between habitual and goal-directed responses? 🧵

New lab paper investigating the effect of reward and punishment on motor sequence learning/performance! nature.com/articles/s4159… "Interactive effects of incentive value and valence on the performance of discrete action sequences" More awesome work by @tylerjadkins1

@TarazLee @PessoaBrain @SolomonKurz @mguindani @JessicaHullman @jabrissenden Not really Bayesian though

@TarazLee @PessoaBrain @SolomonKurz @mguindani @JessicaHullman @jabrissenden I like this visualization: mfviz.com/hierarchical-m…

Does anyone know of/have a good figure with the idea of Bayesian multilevel modeling? I would like to show something in a talk and thought that there must be some good ones out there. thanks @SolomonKurz @mguindani @JessicaHullman

@bruno_nicenboim @mcmc_stan Interesting

As part of @mcmc_stan's StanConnect2021, I'm trying to organize 3-hour session on cognitive (neuro) science. Please drop me a line, if you're interested in presenting or attending: discourse.mc-stan.org/t/cognitive-ne…

@MrSkimpole Yea

@tylerjadkins1 Is this you? academia.edu/7153212/A_Comp…

Reward modulates cortical representations of action sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Finally in press! We find that reward leads to enhancements in the fidelity of action coding in motor planning areas as read out with MVPA. Kudos to @tylerjadkins1 on his first, first-author pub!

@_HanZhang_ I dealt with this yesterday too. The individual spent an hour pressing W over and over. They insisted they tried their best.

@PessoaBrain Yes. and perhaps cognitive science should instead be called psychological science and cognitive neuroscience should be called psychological neuroscience

Does something in affective/emotion science belong in "cognitive science"? It seems that we should strive to bring emotion into the fold, no?
