Rare and excellent PhD opportunity!!!

Online Now: Rhythmic sampling of decision alternatives through attention

The actual screen of death

🔎 The search is broadening -- and sharpening 🔎 🚀We continue to look for people interested in helping build something unique at the intersection of computational, behavioural, and neural sciences at @tcddublin.bsky.social #neurojobs #neuroscience #compneuro www.ktsetsoslab.net/join-us

New paper on information sampling in multialternative choice, part of the ERC @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant "INFOSAMPLE". One of projects emerging from the first semi-gigantic MEG dataset we collected as the "Irrationality" Lab in Hamburg, around COVID lockdowns.

Exciting PhD and postdoc opportunities on the cognitive neuroscience of language at Uni Geneva!!!

Last Thursday was a day that will be hard to forget. Despite the characteristically cold Hanseatic morning, the lecture theatre at the UKE was buzzing with people who came to watch Maryam Tohidi, my very first PhD student, defending her work.

🎓Fully-funded PhD studentship in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience!!! Join @seanfw.bsky.social and myself at @tcddublin.bsky.social for a PhD at the intersection of cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience (OPM-MEG) and neuro-AI. 🗓 Deadline: 5 Feb 2026 #neurojobs #neuroscience #compneuro

⏳ Just over 2 weeks left to apply! ⏳ We are looking for talented Cognitive Neuroscientists to join our team at Trinity College Dublin for postdoc positions funded by a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPV296/r... www.ktsetsoslab.net/_files/ugd/0...

New Preprint alert 🚨 “Inter-areal coupling for cognition through coincident oscillatory transients” together with @ycaoneuro.bsky.social @ktsetsos.bsky.social @donnerlab.bsky.social & Andreas Engel #MEG #neuroscience #bioRxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🧠 We’re hiring! Join the Irrationality Lab @ Trinity College Dublin for ERC-funded postdoc positions in Decision Neuroscience. Work with OPM-MEG + computational modeling to uncover how the brain shapes, maintains and revises preferences. Apply & info: www.ktsetsoslab.net/_files/ugd/0... #NeuroJobs

🚀Our new chapter is out, “Perspectives on the Mechanistic Underpinnings of Choice Biases,” written with @ktsetsos.bsky.social and published in Decision Making: Mechanisms and Applications (edited by Carsten Murawski, Ulrich Ettinger, and Bert Heinrichs): link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

🚨New preprint on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social: “Competing Neural Decision Variables in Human Frontal Cortex Shape Decision Confidence” by Alessandro Toso, @ayeletarazi.bsky.social, @jrochav.bsky.social, @ktsetsos.bsky.social & Tobias H. Donner 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to announce that this November I will be joining Trinity College Dublin @tcddublin.bsky.social as Professor in Cognitive & Decision Sciences, based in the Institute of Neuroscience and the School of Psychology 🇮🇪

Binz et al. (in press, Nature) developed an LLM called Centaur that better predicts human responses in 159 of 160 behavioural experiments compared to existing cognitive models. See: arxiv.org/abs/2410.20268

Needless bureaucracy and “bullshit jobs” are preventing academics from fulfilling their core creative responsibilities and making clinical research an “impossible task”, a leading neuroscientist has warned. @patrickjack.bsky.social reports #AcademicSky

Excited to share a new paper by @maryamtohidi.bsky.social on how a third inferior alternative influences human value learning 👇

Deeply honoured to receive an #ERCCoG ERC Consolidator Grant to explore the Dynamics of Attribute Weighting in Multiattribute Choice. Grateful to my amazing ERC StG team: @ycaoneuro.bsky.social, @marcussiems.bsky.social , Maryam Tohidi, Molly Stapleton for their support and trust. 🙏@ERC_Research

@ktsetsos.bsky.social and I wrote a new Perspective paper: osf.io/preprints/ps... We've long known that decisions can be biased by normatively irrelevant factors. But how do these biases arise in the brain?

Hi everyone, good to be here! Keen to talk and learn about decision-making, attention, cognitive science, neural dynamics & more. To break the ice, here is a snapshot of our work on rhythmic attentional sampling in 3-alt choice (led by Marcus Siems). #neuroskyence #neuroscience #PsychSciSky
