we've seen goal gradient like effects emerge in cognitive effort tasks but how does attention to goal progress ? a new study from our lab, by Sean Devine and others, uses eyetracking to answer this question link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Striatal stimulation enhances cognitive control and evidence processing in rodents and humans www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #neuroscience

Three new CDML publications to start off 2025! First up: research on multidimensional control from @davideghez.bsky.social in @naturehumbehav.bsky.social! Across three behavioral experiments and with computational modeling, Davide shows that people adapt control in a distractor-specific fashion.

We've got an excellent line-up in both philosophy and neuroscience for our first conference! Submit your abstracts by Feb 1 and join us in St. Louis in early May!

It's out! Our work on multi-dimensional control adaptation landed on @naturehumbehav.bsky.social Free access to the full text here: rdcu.be/d5pt1 Big shout-out to @wouterkool.bsky.social for sharing the venture and for setting the bar that high in mentorship! For a quick recap, linked thread

Great conversations with @ndosenbach.bsky.social while preparing this Nature News & Views on the new Kang et al. Ready to have the same with everyone here. Thoughts? What other practice should be investigated to help BWAS reproducibility? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Psychologists and neuroscientists are calling for international pressure towards immediate ceasefire in Israel, Palestine & Lebanon, respect for international humanitarian law, end of the occupation, and release of all hostages. Read & join us by signing here: tinyurl.com/PsychLetter

Do you teach neuroscience? Here’s a list I’ve compiled of mostly free online neuroscience textbooks, simulations and datasets you can use for your course! If I’m missing something, let me know so I can add it! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

#psynom24 is coming up. On Fri 22nd I will be talking about cognitive control with multiple distractors, including ↓ Hold your amphibians!

Some resources i've curated for the cognitive and computational neuroscience communities on bluesky! First, a twin set of starter packs. go.bsky.app/2n84SRM

The *registration* for this year's satellite meeting of the Society of Mathematical Psychology at Psychonomics in New York City will *close Sunday, November 10!* If you plan to attend, register by Sunday for free on the meeting website: mathpsych.org/conference/17/

New preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Our environments are complex and ever changing. We report behavioral data and neural network simulations showing that, in multidimensional environments, humans adapt attentional control in a dimension-specific way. w/ @wouterkool.bsky.social ↓ 1/11
