Inspired by my reading this week, I wrote a list of the resources I think every cognitive science researcher should read/listen to about theory development. It's in this google.doc (feel free to add your own suggestions) and in the thread below. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

How does exercise and fitness promote healthy brain aging? An outstanding, comprehensive review @thelancet.bsky.social reduced neuroinflammmation, preserves blood-brain-barrier, neurogenesis, role of exerkines, and much more www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I'm excited about this new analysis approach because we can now estimate when changes in strategy, goal choice, conflict etc. occur in open state spaces. Providing metrics for studies with patients & sec-sec metrics for upcoming fMRI data and existing iEEG data with Sea Hero Quest #neuroskyence

Nothing helps beat the pseudoscience label like humbly comparing your theory with no empirical support to the theory of general relativity 😂

We had a wonderful time at this workshop w/ @blackinneuro.bsky.social! If you missed seeing me & @shahana-ansari.bsky.social talk about how to give constructive & kind feedback on manuscripts, check out the recording – coming soon! Huge thanks to the @blackinneuro.bsky.social team for having us! ❤️

Funded PhD opportunity for AI-driven early detection of dementia using multimodal data supervised by my colleague and friend Qiang Liu. Cannot recommend him more highly, I co-supervise a PhD student with him and this is an absolute bomb of an opportunity www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Grant agency: "In the end, despite some initial enthusiasm, the panel was not convinced [...], and expected that the impact in the field is likely to be low." Despite evidence to the contrary, funding bodies remain confident they can predict the success of a project. elifesciences.org/articles/13323

Announcing the launch of the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science: oecs.mit.edu! OECS is a freely-available, growing collection of peer-reviewed articles introducing key topics in cogsci to a broad audience of students and scholars.

How do we make choices when our options change over time? In a new paper with @lazyneuron.bsky.social & Andy Fitch, just accepted at Psych Review, we explore "alternative-general" representations of evidence that allow us to make good decisions even when our options shift. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Hey, let’s become colleagues! Dr. Siobhan Schabrun is looking for 2 postdocs. Join our lab where we study the neural & biological underpinnings of pain. TMS, EEG, fMRI, multiomics, you name it!

I am delighted that I’ll be joining Boston University’s dept. of psychological and brain sciences as an assistant professor in July 2025! I’ll be recruiting Ph.D. students and hiring a lab manager to start alongside me — see here for more info: katenuss.com/lab 🧠👩‍🔬💻

When "tech" meant faster computers and smaller phones, it was exciting, you wanted to know what they were going to come up with next. Now it's a bunch of assholes trying to figure out new ways to charge you a subscription to look at the shittiest ads you can imagine

Biggest ever survey of trans Americans finds 94% happier after transition

modern society is so divorced from our food sources that most people who eat pop tarts have never actually killed one themselves

See: Canada has failed to act on this momentum (best I can tell). Grad student stipends in 🇨🇦 haven't changed for 20 years. Like... literally zero inflation-adjustment. As a 🇨🇦 expat, I can't even dream of returning to run a competitive lab... #AcademicSky #CanadaPoli www.nature.com/articles/d41....

@saurabhr.bsky.social's first paper from my lab is now in press! Using behavior, machine learning, and computational modeling, he found that during a reality monitoring task, subjects have an "externalization bias" to report imagined memories as perceived. tinyurl.com/bdzjwzhn

Hello! Do you like *free* things that are *boring* for most people, but *interesting* for a few? Then maybe you'd like a copy of my book *Modeling Scientific Communities* - downloadable from Cambridge for the next two weeks- www.cambridge.org/core/element...

quick q for universities that require you to sign up to a website to submit your letter of rec: (1) how dare you
