Our implementation is based on work by Reimann & Schöner doi.org/10.1007/s00422… Collaboration btw. A. Kshirsagar, R. Schween, Z. Sun, D. Engel as part of #TheAdaptiveMind Special thanks F. Al-Hafez, D. Tateo, @jhreimann

In balance! - Our #python + #MuJoComodel for humanoid upright stance is now available on github. It models postural control for the “hardware” of a human body, considering e.g. neural delays and motor noise. #MushroomRL #humanoid #balancecontrol github.com/alapkshirsagar…

Happy that this manuscript with @OdyEdward @straubeb_81 has been accepted today at Human Brain Mapping! :) Stay tuned! More cool stuff to come! :)

Please RT: PhD and postdoc positions open in the lab on an @ERC_Research funded project on human naturalistic sequential behavior pip.tu-darmstadt.de

Today our 2nd SFB retreat starts! ✨ All associated groups from Essen, Hamburg, and Marburg are on their way to meet in beautiful Menschede, Germany! 🤩 Onwards to the next three days of #treatmentexpectation science and getting to know each other better! 💊🧠

#AdvMotLearn Context-dependent sensorimotor learning by variational inference Presented by Raphael Schween from Philipps-University Marburg @thcs_marburg

Wow, it was a challenge to integrate the views of different basic scientists into "how to make expectation violation more effective"? And isn't every psychotherapy session an expectation violation, if it is a fruitful one? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to announce this terms Colloquium of the Psych Dept. @Uni_MR \w exiting talks by @JoyJGeng, W.Greve, T.Kaiser, @jpsnijder, I.Žeželj, H.Alves, S.Baumann & E.Zimmermann Stop by if you are in the MR area & 1. talk virtual! CC @rtg2271 @clinicalpsymr @thcs_marburg @AgSozPsyMR

Dr. Marcel Binz (former PhD student of the GRK 2271) received the “Best Publication Award 2022” of the Gesellschaft für Kognitionswissenschaft (i.e., the German Cognitive Science Society) for his paper:

What a great retreat with PhD students and PIs of our research training group on breaking expectations @rtg2271 First real get-together since pandemic- way better than expected!

Are you interested in computational cognitive neuroscience and in using DNNs to better understand face and object perception (like this science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…)? Then join my lab @jlugiessen as PhD student and apply here uni-giessen.de/karriere/stell…. :) RT please.

Thanks #CogSci2022, I was so happy to meet the community and present my own work! Special thanks to @SarahVPark_ for a wonderful time in Toronto :)

How do locusts 🦗 maintain direction while flying 150km in one day? Here’s our model of columnar central-complex neurons. A stable representation of heading direction is maintained & shifts via modulatory inputs encode turn direction @KM_Pabst data.uni-marburg.de/handle/dataumr… 5/5

Is the overestimation of environmental volatility a computational marker of Autism-Spectrum-Disorder? Maybe. Which environmental dynamics are driving this effect? We don’t know. For more info, get in touch with @Hauke86176506 at #CogSci2022 escholarship.org/uc/item/9084q9… 4/5

Many of our lab members will present their work next week in Toronto 🇨🇦 #CogSci2022 @cogsci_soc We are talking ML-based decomposition of reaction times, volatility in autism, reinforcement learning and orientation in locusts. Thread incl links to papers 👇1/5

Our lab will be at the #DPiNMR - Developing Perspectives in Neuroscience, July 14 🧠 If you're an early-career Neuroscientist in MR, this event is for you - learn about interesting thesis project opportunities, #SciComm, going abroad & more dpineuro.de

Join us for the colloquium of the Dept. of Psych. @Uni_MR! Today's guest is @chmathys, @AarhusUni_int! Talk: "Hierarchical Gaussian filters as a 🪟 into belief up-dates" 16:15 CET (online) Invited by @Hauke86176506 & @thcs_marburg, @rtg2271 Link: uni-marburg.de/vMZXf

Out today: new pre-print by our lab members 🔖 We describe a hierarchical computational model of pain perception that we can use to simulate chronic pain.
