Interested in how we make preference-driven decisions, and how this is implemented in the brain? We report that neural correlates of evidence accumulation (CPP, Mu/Beta) are also observed during value-based decisions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Led by @laurencf.bsky.social (Lauren Fong) 1/n

Check out our reviewed preprint, now out in eLife! With @spk3lly.bsky.social, @redmondoconnell.bsky.social and Anna Geuzebroek elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... While we work on improving the [solid] paper based on the reviews, here are the key take-home messages:

Check out our new multisensory decision study! We tackle a decades-old Q: does faster detection of bimodal targets come from a race or co-activation between modalities? And also a vital, orthogonal Q: is it one decision process or two? A1: co-activation A2: two! Read here: rdcu.be/eASYd

New paper from the lab indicates some surprising differences in visual cortical contributions to two popular VEP types. In it, Kieran uses some of his brilliant tricks from last year's paper:

Delighted to share this paper, now published in @arvoinfo.bsky.social. With @spk3lly.bsky.social‬ and Anna Geuzebroek we explored differences in visual cortical responses for pattern pulses and pattern reversals. Here's the link: jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx...

Our newest preprint is out (doi.org/10.1101/2025.06.05.658071), with @lucvermeylen.bsky.social,Dasha Monakhovych, Cameron McCabe, Sarah-Louise Mannion, @kobedesender.bsky.social, @redmondoconnell.bsky.social, comparing post-decision confidence models against behaviour and neural decision signals...

Very happy to share this paper, now published in @natcomms.nature.com! nature.com/articles/s41... With @spk3lly.bsky.social and @neuromurphy.bsky.social, we investigated the neural computations that allow us to make near-optimal decisions in changing environments. Here's a short summary:

A little temporal integration or leaky evidence accumulation might be all that's needed to explain subjective aspects of stimulus detection like perceived duration or confidence. New comp. modelling preprint from *Ramla Msheik* with Emma Sirouet, @spk3lly.bsky.social and @nfaivre.bsky.social.

Come join us in Dublin June 11-14th for the Multidisciplinary Conference on Reinforcement Learning and Decision Making @rldmdublin2025.bsky.social! Great speaker list rldm.org/invited-spea..., workshops and tutorials soon to be announced. Abstract submission deadline 15th January. Don't miss out!

We are looking to hire a lab manager / research assistant for our human intracranial EEG lab in NY (hbmlab-nyc.com). Ideal start date 03-2025. Open to non-US applicants but it’s a (mostly) in-person job. Plz DM or email me if you’re interested or have questions! Official link will follow.
