Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

perhaps you could market some supplements and explain how they'll prevent ageing-related memory loss?

tbh I would definitely watch a GATTACA x Terminator film, but that's definitely as far as it goes

Anhedonic Traits Do Not Impair Performance in a 3-Arm Bandit Task | Computational Psychiatry

New paper alert! 📢 Anhedonic Traits Do Not Impair Performance in a 3-Arm Bandit Task - from @jonroiser.bsky.social and colleagues: doi.org/10.5334/cpsy...

Another poster today at #cosyne26 (2-112)!

@rowanboard shows how early life social isolation alters dimension-based learning, cognitive flexibility, and the ventral hippocampus–PFC circuit.

Great collaboration with @jonroiser.bsky.social linking mouse and human versions of the task!

excellent commentary on an excellent paper - congrats to all involved!

A screenshot of Google's AI Overview answer to the question "is haggis an animal". It says "Yes, the haggis is a small, furry mammal native to Scotland" and goes on to give the typical "asymmetrical legs" details.

The Scottish have won the AI Wars.

Gotta say, did not have "Greece sends warships to defend island from Persian attacks" on my bingo card for this millennium, yet here we are.

very cool, innovative and important contribution - congrats to the authors

it was always very obviously a graduate tax - during the era of tiny interest rates government could at least keep up the pretence that a decent chunk of people who do well in regular jobs would ever pay it off. Now interest rates have reverted towards historical norms that's impossible

l'chaim!

Preprint alert!!! We recorded directly from the human ventral tegmental area (VTA), the principal source of cortical dopaminergic innervation, while patients performed an instrumental learning task. 🧵👇

I just thought everyone should see this

I'm delighted to have received a junior faculty grant from The Huo Family Foundation to investigate mechanisms linking social media use to mental health outcomes in young people.

Reminder: Haidt is not actually an "expert" in this field and actual experts have called out that he's just wrong about almost everything.

very disappointing - governments just love simplistic solutions to complex social problems. They could at least wait to see the impact in Australia

I thought the first half in particular was superb

incredible resource for aspiring (and indeed existing!) computational cognitive neuroscientists

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world:
gershmanlab.com/textbook.html
It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class.

My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

This paper had a pretty shocking headline result (40% of voxels!), so I dug into it, and I think it is wrong. Essentially: they compare two noisy measures and find that about 40% of voxels have different sign between the two. I think this is just noise!

⚠️ Job Alert ⚠️

I'm recruiting a postdoc to work with me and Professor @jonroiser.bsky.social on an exciting new project examining the link between young people's decision-making on social media and their mental health.

there are a few connections it's important not to ignore - e.g. JLC chair is married to a right-wing influencer and councillor who just defected to Reform from the Tories

ah - I didn't notice that you adjusted for age. Was this based on mean age in each sample, or categorical?
