Thanks for the shout out. We’re very excited about this collaborative study with @wouterkool, S. Chakravarthy (IIT, Madras), CJ Hammond (JHU), and @VincGFiore where we report lack of reward value based modulation in model-based and model-free control in frequent alcohol users.

New year, new DPN paper from @MAparvaz @wouterkool & colleagues: "Impaired arbitration between reward-related decision-making strategies in Alcohol Users compared to Alcohol Non-Users: a computational modeling study" nature.com/articles/s4427… 1/2

Funded PhD (UK students only). Interested in a PhD working in @MSNlab, co-supervised by @froemero1? Topic is flexible around themes of motivation and decision-making, using techniques such as computational modelling, brain imaging, or brain stimulation. tinyurl.com/543ucffd

The CDML is at Psychonomics _and_ SJDM this year! Members of our lab will present two talks and two posters on Friday at Psychonomics, and we have two more posters at SJDM on Sunday. Come say hi! #psynom24 @Psychonomic_Soc @SJDMOfficial

I’m recruiting PhD students to join the Computational Minds and Machines Lab at the University of Washington in Seattle! Join us to work at the intersection of computational cognitive science and AI with a broad focus on social intelligence. (Please reshare!)

So proud of this award for Merve @mileritayar, very well deserved!

⭐️PhD in Cognitive/Computational Psychology⭐️ PhD alert! Do your PhD with me and use Reinforcement Learning to study how misinformation affects us. Deadline: October 7. Please RT! For more information: findaphd.com/phds/project/c…

So, how did astrologers do overall? If they'd gotten even 23% of questions right (slightly above the 20% of random guessing), the study would have come out in favor of astrology. But astrologers as a group performed indistinguishable from random guessing, getting < 21% right.

Did any other people who went to #CCN2024 get COVID? I had a great time seeing so many of you, but now I'm sick.

Honored to receive a NARSAD Young Investigator Award by @BBRFoundation. The grant award will allow me to investigate the neuronal mechanisms of intertemporal discounting in NHPs, mentored by Camillo Padoa-Schipppa, paving the way to understand impulsive and addictive behaviors.

I'm very excited for @DavideGhez to share his new multidimensional cognitive control research at #CCN24 in just a few minutes.

Check out Lauren's awesome work in @PNASNews on how humans change their behavior when they are training AI. Our university wrote a nice article covering this work, with some awkward quotes from yours truly. artsci.wustl.edu/ampersand/huma…

Come and see our work at #CCN2024 from @DavideGhez, @TheaZalabak, and @wouterkool not once, but twice! Check out Davide’s talk on Thursday at 4pm, and come say hi to learn more at his poster on Friday at 11:15am! @CogCompNeuro

I'm looking for a postdoc interested in computational cognitive modeling and deep reinforcement learning! Submit a CV and references here: apply.interfolio.com/150309 Please share with anyone who might be interested!

Our study on reward and effort signals in PFC theta and basal ganglia beta is now out in @PNASNews! Big thanks to the team (esp @coradehemptinne and @littleneuro), reviewers, and patients. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Data: osf.io/jq6z4/ Code: github.com/hoycw/PRJ_OFC_…

We have two open postdoc positions in the lab! Check out the links below for details. Postdoc in neuroscience of reward learning: jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen… Postdoc in physiology of learning and decision making: jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen… Please retweet!

If you have a background in cellular/molecular biology and are interested in studying the mechanisms of learning and memory in unicellular organisms, come do a postdoc in my lab! More info here: gershmanlab.com/news.html

📢 Join our team at the Developmental Computational Psychiatry lab 🧠🔬👩‍🔬 🧑‍🎓If you're a PhD (or near completion) in 1. developmental psychology/cognitive neuroscience or 2. cognitive neuroscience/neuroimaging with neuroimaging, apply now: devcompsy.org/wp-content/upl… #Postdoc

Just shouting out that, due to a speaker being unable to make it to this excellent session, @AtaBK from my lab will be stepping in this morning to give a talk about how cognitive maps enable goal-directed decisions! Behavior, computational modeling, fMRI. Come check it out!
