Why is it so hard for automated vehicles to predict human behaviour? 🤔 Our cognitive modelling suggests that to explain human road user interaction, one must integrate a whole range of different psychological theories, so it really *is* complicated! 1/n psyarxiv.com/hdxbs/

Oh god this is the most liberating thing I have read in a while - since Twitter got Muskulosis I guess One key point: "for managers and decision makers in universities: Please stop encouraging academics to use social media as a way to create research impact and engagement"

Our latest paper on mathematical modelling of road user interaction, including some cool data from a study where we connected our driving and pedestrian simulators:

The latest study from my PhD has now been published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance ⬇️

Our, @ThanasisTzig, new study has been accepted by Accident Analysis and Prevention. Thanks to coauthors Chongfeng Wei @DrYeeMunLee ChristopherHolmes MatteoLeonetti @NatashaMerat RichardRomano and @markkula. Proud of the @HFS_ITSLeeds team.

Pleasure to welcome @MartinTedward and Linda Miller from @HumanFactorsUlm visiting us this week, and collaborating with @markkula on cognitive #modelling in #AutomatedDriving. Nice presentations yesterday led to fruitful discussions @VirtuocityLeeds !

@KatjaKircher Yes definitely came across as genuine

@KatjaKircher 😱That little shake of the head was quite telling Katja. Really cool experimental setup!

I asked #chatgpt4 to channel the late George Carlin in the middle of a co-coding session, and this happened 🤯:

@KanounOlfa @SocietiesHybrid @myo My pleasure!

@markkula @SocietiesHybrid @myo Thank you for the outstanding presentation and the inspiration!!!

This @SocietiesHybrid conference was such a lovely experience. Thanks to @myo, @kanounolfa and all for the great organisation and vision! 🤖🧠🤖🧠

@SocietiesHybrid @markula It was a genuine pleasure - thanks for having me!

G. @Markula definitely came by brain train all the way from Leeds. While thinking about modelling hybrid societies Gustav Markkula shares an important #neuroscientific perspective influencing #design decisions of efficient, safe & satisfactory #technologies. @hybridsocieties2023

@AZgonnikov @tudelft3mE Thanks for having me - it was a pleasure!

Fascinating talk by Gustav @markkula at the Cognitive Robotics department @tudelft3mE linking robotics and computational cognitive neuroscience through the evolutionary perspective 🤖🧠

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! We're proud to celebrate the incredible #WomenInSTEM in our research group at @ITSLeeds and @UniversityLeeds, who continue to make outstanding contributions in #Transport and #HumanFactors. Let's support and empower #WomenInScience worldwide!

@DrGBuckingham Freedom to set my own agenda (I have experience from both academia and industry. In academia, if you are lucky enough to secure (1) a permanent contract, and (2) funding, then the difference in freedom is huge. Just those two little ifs... 🫤)

UK STEM academics As concisely as possible, tell me why you are an academic instead of working outside of academia

@2023push_it Oh good - will look into that!

@2023push_it Really enjoyed the 2022 challenge - thank you for your service! 🙏 I suck at pull-ups, so I’ve gotten myself one of those bar thingies specifically with a 2023 challenge in mind. Will be adding one to the daily dose every other week, aiming for <month #> to be done in one set 😄

@2023push_it ✅✅✅

OK yesterday's antics around banning promotion of other social media was the last straw for me, so I will join the #mastodonmigration 🐘 You can find me at @markkula@universeodon.com Might cross/double post here on Twitter also, not sure let's see

Hard to imagine a more effective promotion of non-Twitter social media platforms than this tweet right here
