I just opened matlab for the first time since I left academia and I am SHOCKED. It…has..dark mode..now 🤯

🧪 10 years ago I published my first paper. I unfortunately haven’t had a chance to work with EEG again for a few years now but still so proud of the one that started my career.

🧪🤖Our latest paper: Towards a Criteria-Based Approach to Selecting Human-AI Interaction Mode is now out. We made a handy rubric to help decisions around adding AI to your work. AI isn’t always the solution but if it is, thinking about how your workflow changes is vital! dx.doi.org/10.1002/hfm....

I completed my first game jam on Sunday. Two weeks to make a game from scratch around the theme of “replicate.” If you have s&box (or want to download it) you can check it out: sbox.game/veggiepatty/...

Good luck to all the DECRA applicants, hoping you get some helpful comments today!

Gentle error messages have nothing on R

This is such a great package!

I am I'm this picture and I don't like it

We’ve just had our work on assessing how trust in AI support develops accepted as late-breaking work at CHI25. DOI is still to go live but you can check it out here in the meantime: camps.aptaracorp.com/ACM_PMS/PMS/... (I’ll update the thread when the DOI is live).

🧠 💡 PhD scholarships available! 💡🧠 The CogNeuro group at @marcsinstitute.bsky.social is on the hunt for talented students to work on face and object perception using EEG and neural decoding. Learn more here 👇 and get in touch! Project 1: shorturl.at/0NwQl Project 2: shorturl.at/yTdqG

Ever wonder how well frontier models (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 1.5 Flash & Pro, GPT-4o, o1-mini & o1-preview) play Atari, chess, or tic-tac-toe? We present LMAct, an in-context imitation learning benchmark with long multimodal demonstrations (arxiv.org/abs/2412.01441). 🧵 1/N

Why do I think these instances are interesting? To me, these are not just random instances that LLMs are sometimes wrong (like people), these are *diagnostic* that LLMs do not have a world model and are not “reasoning”, it exposes the basic architecture. Why? 1/n

The craziest paper I have ever done is this thought experiment with Albert Gidon and Matt Larkum. In the first journal, reviewer 1 recommended that we should not try to publish this; reviewer 2 called it "wacky". Thanks for the motivation: A sequel is coming up! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

New in NHB: We systematically replicated 26 of 41 PNAS social science studies that used MTurk. The approach provides a proof-of-concept for using decision markets to select findings to replicate. Replication effect sizes were 45% of original effect sizes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Anthropic posts something a lot of social scientists studying AI have been thinking - you need to apply basic statistical methods to AI evaluations! A solid attempt to lay out how to do better tests with basic methodology. https://buff.ly/3OijwX0

Our latest work, up as a preprint to enjoy. We gave LLMs tasks adapted from experimental psychology to see how they contribute to teamwork. We found LLMs were reasonable at monitoring tasks but were poor at tasks requiring planning and strategising.

Looking up some cognitive task analysis figures this morning and kept finding those slides with the blue background and yellow text. Took me down a rabbit hole about why these things were everywhere. Someone else had the same idea. en.rattibha.com/thread/12942...

New preprint! Mind the blank: behavioral, experiential, and physiological signatures of absent-mindedness With Esteban Munoz Musat, @corcorana.bsky.social, Laouen Belloli and Lionel Naccache biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/n

Emerging researcher @bellabower.bsky.social giving a fantastic overview of her work on how room characteristics influence brain and behaviour!

Dan F @danfeuerriegel.bsky.social had “results so nice he found them twice” finding null effects for visual ERPs scaling with probability.

Huw Jarvis suggesting the link between reward prediction errors and vigour is more complicated than first thought! #ACNS2023

Julian Matthews @quining.bsky.social suggesting a reframing of some classic metacognitive effects as motivation related! #ACNS2023

Linzhi Tao showing us how higher resolution MRI can reduce the number of participants required. Amazing honours project! #ACNS2023

Kali Chidley gave a great talk showing metacognitive skills influence cognitive flexibility adjustments! #ACNS2023

Looking forward to seeing old colleagues and friends again in Sydney! Also the first time I’ve chaired a symposium 🤖😊🧠 #ACNS2023

I’ll be talking to publishers today about how AI might impact their field, including opportunities for new types of content!

So fancy.

Just landed in Adelaide for the Collaborative Intelligence Meet & Mingle. Looking forward to talking about some of the cool AI projects we’ve been working on this year. + working in a team distributed all over Aus means I’ll finally meet people who I’ve only known through video calls 🥳

As a big fan of C. M. Kösemen’s All Tomorrows, I thought I’d see how DALLE3 might envisage some of the major species in the book. Here are The Qu and The Star People.

Seen this before? If so, you must have read our latest paper where we provided a carefully curated dataset of AI generated objects. The objects look plausible but do not in fact exist. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hi everyone, I’ve made the migration to bluesky. ✌️ Former academic who used to work in cognitive control, theta oscillations, curiosity and promoting inclusive colour data viz schemes. Nowadays I’m working on assessing human factors required for successful AI-human teaming. #neuroskyence
