💥New paper out! Why do some people generalise threat more than others? We show that anxious people generalise more strongly, even after accounting for perceptual mistakes.

A huge (!) thanks to @ondrejzika.bsky.social @nicoschuck.bsky.social and @bernhardspitzer.bsky.social

How do we achieve few-shot generalization? New work led by @fabianrenz.bsky.social dives into the role of replay in learning and using structure to generalize reward. Dream team effort with Shany Grossman @nathanieldaw.bsky.social Peter Dayan & @doellerlab.bsky.social

If you're an undergrad student in North America, UK or Ireland, consider coming to Hamburg for a cool DAAD internship on prediction error effects on memory! Hosted by yours truly, @nicoschuck.bsky.social & @stresscognition.bsky.social. 📨 until Nov 30: Hamburg_BI_0606 www.daad.de/rise/rise-germany

Excited to announce that this is now out in eLife as a reviewed preprint 🚀

doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Huge thanks to the eLife editors, reviewers and our fantastic collaborators: Katharina Wille, @nicoschuck.bsky.social, Matt Nassar, Radoslaw Cichy, Peter Dayan and @rasmusbruckner.bsky.social

🚨 I am over the moon 🌓 to announce that I am joining University College Dublin @ucddublin.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor this fall to start the Uncertain Mind (UMI) lab 💫

I am looking for PhD/Postdoc candidates to join (more below 👇 ). Please RT as the deadline is pretty soon 🙏

Prediction Error-Related Memory Enhancement Depends on the Neural State Surrounding the Prediction Error Event Prediction errors (PEs) can enhance memory for preceding events. While such PE-related memory enhancements are critical for understanding adaptive memory, their underlying mechanisms are not fully und...

New publication from our lab! 👀
We found that memory enhancement from PEs depends on the brain's neural state: theta/alpha activity & pre-error reactivation are key. TMS over the superior parietal cortex altered response bias but not PE-related memory effects 💡

Replay in the human visual cortex during brief task pauses is linked to implicit learning of successor representations | PNAS Humans can implicitly learn about multistep sequential relationships between events in the environment from their statistical co-occurrence. Theore...

Delighted to share our work on replay and successor representations! We find replay during very short task pauses in human visual cortex that is linked to learning SRs & happens when learning is implicit. Study led by @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social

Happy to join #CCN25 in sunny Amsterdam this year! Come say hi at our poster B67 and check out how irrelevant value information influence choice behaviour. Work w @nirmoneta.bsky.social & @nicoschuck.bsky.social.

Thrilled to join @stresscognition.bsky.social and @nicoschuck.bsky.social‘s lab at Uni Hamburg!
Excited for my PhD-chapter to start 👩🏻‍💻🧠
