🚨New preprint alert🚨
Does hunger affect your decisions beyond food? We tested whether being hungry affects attention & choice across food, intertemporal and social domains.
Spoiler: the effects of hunger state on attention and choice are more limited than you might think🧵👇
I always had the vague feeling that Scientific Reports and Nature Communications are mainly APC business models.
A paper estimated the total APC for gold/hybrid Open Access per journal 2015–2018: doi.org/10.1162/qss_...
Surprise, surprise - there are 2 outliers at the top😐
Interested in information search? 👀🔍
Make sure to check out our latest theory explaining how people search for information; now out in Psychological Review!
@sgluth.bsky.social @jordantdeakin.bsky.social and Jörg Rieskamp
How do people search for information to make efficient decisions?
Our new theory, now out in Psychological Review, suggests that an efficient search rule is (at the core of) the answer. And eye-tracking data support our theory.
Check out here (it's open access): psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...
Did someone want systematic reviews of the effects of psychedelics?
We have two:
A review of electrophysiology, out now in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral reviews www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
And a review of cognitive effects in J of Psychopharmacology journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
Curious about how context influences decision-making? 👀🧠
Make sure to check out our symposium on Wednesday 11:00-12:30 at Room N2 #TeaP2026

How does the brain decide which mental strategy to use when inferring others' beliefs?
Excited to (finally!) see my first first-author paper out @natneuro.nature.com

Thought-provoking talk at our research colloquium yesterday! 🧠
@lilweb.bsky.social presented ambitious work on testing and improving methods in computational psychiatry.
We thank Lilian for her visit and the valuable discussions throughout the day in our lab!
🚨Friends, we’re happy to share that our book is available for pre-order! 🎉
We aimed to cover all the foundations of the topic in an accessible manner for a large audience.
It could help set up a bachelor-level curriculum on the topic.
Pre-orders are very key for the fate of books: shorturl.at/Dxbif
Check out our new preprint, led by Romy Froemer and in collaboration with Chih-Chung Ting and Sebastian Gluth:
“Goals shape dynamics of attention and selection for value-based decision-making”.

Read our paper if you're curious or reach out if you have any questions. Kudos to my great coauthor team Tobia Spampatti
@tspampatti.bsky.social, Sebastian Gluth @sgluth.bsky.social , Kim-Pong Tam & Ulf Hahnel. Happy Halloween everyone 🎃🧛 /end
Our new paper is out as a reviewed preprint in @elife.bsky.social!

Congrats to @hashimsat.bsky.social and our amazing collaborators on this great team effort.
Special shout-out to @haukeren.bsky.social, who made this possible through his generous support 🙌
In contrast, we found only response deliberation to increase for behaviorally less effective numeric translations (carbon emissions in kg).
Our modeling results suggest that a translation in form of an evaluative rating caused participants to make more ecological choices as a result of a shift in attribute weights in favor of the translated attribute, a decreased attentional bias on the attended option, and increased deliberation.
Attribute translations promote behavior change by translating decision-relevant information into more meaningful units and have been widely adopted by policy makers (e.g., EU energy label). However, little is known about the computational mechanisms that underlie their effects on behavior.
Excited to share joint work with Ulf Hahnel and @sgluth.bsky.social on investigating how attribute translations - a widely implemented behavior intervention - lead to more ecological consumer choices. Main results are below, but check out our preprint 👇

Proud to see this one out as Version of Record in #eLife
doi.org/10.7554/eLif... 🥰
Excited to present our research at this epic location #EGPRO2025 with @sgluth.bsky.social, @maryamtohidi.bsky.social and @jennamarch.bsky.social 🚀
Amazing sunny team event with our lab today! ☀️ We tackled an escape room aboard the historic ship Rickmer Rickmers - nothing like solving puzzles surrounded by maritime history ⚓🧩 So lovely bonding outside the lab and putting our problem-solving skills to work in completely new settings! 🤓
Absolutely recommend! Nice environment and excellent research project
📢 New Publication 📢
Effort differentially shapes behavior before, during & after an action. w/ @bcheval.bsky.social, Silvio & Florent, we explore stage-specific effects of physical effort & how these dynamically modulate each other.
Now out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences 🤩🤩
