📣🔥 Early bird registration now open for 2026 Computational Psychiatry Conference cpconf.org at Yale July 14-16. Late-breaking abstracts now open (deadline: May 8) Trainee pre-conference (July 13) registration open (free!) See you in New Haven! #CPConf2026

Applications are now open for the 12th Model-Based Neuroscience & Cognition Summer School (Aug 10–14, 2026, Amsterdam)! modelbasedneurosci.com Hands-on training in combining Bayesian evidence-accumulation models with reinforcement learning, brain–behavior modeling (EEG/fMRI), BayesFlow, and more.

Two summer schools focused on skills for cognitive modeling and mathematical psychology will each receive $20,000 grants through this year’s William K. & Katherine W. Estes Fund. @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social Learn more about these projects by @peterkvam.bsky.social & Eric-Jan Wagenmakers.

The Cognitive Construction Lab is hiring a full-time lab manager! Come work with me at UMass Amherst, starting this Fall. Apply here: tinyurl.com/3dpz5m3j

We’re hiring a full-time Research Coordinator in the Preston Lab at UT Austin (start May/June 2026). Work on behavioral + fMRI studies of how memory & decision-making develop from childhood to adulthood. Learn more & apply: preston.clm.utexas.edu/news/join-th... Please repost!

We leveraged LaseNet (@tifenpan.bsky.social, @annecollins.bsky.social), an RNN framework trained on model-simulated data, to infer trial-by-trial attentional states from behavior during learning. The network learns to map observable behavior -> latent attention trajectories.

Proud to share the lab’s first preprint, led by the fantastic @christinamaher.bsky.social! 🎉 Real-world environments are high-dimensional and noisy. Selective attention is thought to shape the state representations that make reinforcement learning tractable.

What makes new goals difficult to reach? As I discussed with @alisonpstevens.bsky.social for @sciencenews.bsky.social, the issue might be holding precise but costly memories of the target. As we internalize rules for what success looks like, goals become more attainable. @annecollins.bsky.social
