First time in the US, for ARO. Border officer gave me a hard time. Probably because it’s hard to say Otolaryngology without sounding like a nervous dweeb

Officiating of Arsenal games is enough to make me want to forget everything I've learned about human biases from a PhD in psychology and conclude that league refs actually are corrupt. Because at this point I basically think so. Makes 3 pts even more satisfying tho!

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

“The human prefrontal cortex alone contains enough neuronal hardware to run 5000 [fruit]flies.” Meanwhile mine can’t even keep me from shitposting on Bluesky after a couple of beers. Cool paper from @mameister4.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/a/1kHVa3BtfH...

Spotify Wrapped top artist was Molly Nilsson 😍 I guess I flogged her new album harder than I thought. Special mention to Keanu Nelson, an Indigenous Australian artist I discovered this year who made my top 5. Check out the song Kutjupa Tjuta!

I have recently started using Pack & Go, and it's as easy as they make it sound. Upload your PTB code, and hey presto you have your experiment in a browser.

Alex Pouget and I wrote a perspective a few years ago on Major Sources of Computational Complexity in Complex Decision-Making 🧠. We never got around to publishing it, and so now uploaded it to OSF Preprints: doi.org/10.31219/osf.... I hope some of you might find it useful.

Interesting study on the computational role of prior probability in perceptual choices, finding that priors change the accumulation rate of evidence rather than the baseline. Nicely in line with work by @clarepress.bsky.social & @danieljamesyon.bsky.social: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... 🧠🤖 🧠🟦

Huge congrats to @karyna-mi.bsky.social for her paper published today in Science! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq5874 1/7

This is a very reluctant part II in a series of blog posts on the Protzko retraction. The first was motivated by the authors misleading in a .pdf, and this one around false statements in the WSJ, Die Zeit, Nature, and on @spencrgreenberg.bsky.social's podcast. joebakcoleman.com/blog/2024/no...

Yeah, this is a fantastic intro to Bayesian models. If I’m being hyper critical it’s a bit math-y / unintuitive for a novice in some key sections (although I’m not the sharpest at times…) but an invaluable resource for sure

“prediction errors may signal a local mismatch between input and expectation at each level of the cortical hierarchy, or prediction errors may be computed at higher levels and the resulting surprise signal is broadcast to earlier areas in the cortical hierarchy. Our results align with the latter”
