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 πŸ˜‚

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...

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 πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ haven't changed for 20 years. Like... literally zero inflation-adjustment.

@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
