That's right

Only one week left until our PhD application deadline @mpicybernetics.bsky.social. If you’re interested in the intersection of RL, RNNs, and analyses of neural & behavioral data from novel, cross-species foraging experiments, make sure to submit your application by June 15! #NeuroJobs More info👇

Scientists are not immune to belief. Psychedelic researchers who were transformed by psychedelics Meditation scientists who built their careers around contemplative practice AI researchers convinced deep learning is the only path to intelligence Article here: adeelrazi.substack.com/p/when-exper...

Jakob @hohwy.bsky.social unravels how we understand the mind, cognition, and existence in "The Self-Evidencing Agent," analyzing how human agents perceive and make sense of the world, decide to act, and act of their own volition: bit.ly/4sXomMq

All theory is wrong until verified by data. Greatly indebted to @mhyaghoubi.bsky.social, @markbrandonlab.bsky.social, @douglasresearch.bsky.social for finding the hippocampus encoding reward prediction! Grateful to my advisor @cpehlevan.bsky.social, @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social. #RL #hippocampus

📢Generative Models in Neuroimaging Survey We’re running a short survey on how neuroimaging (aka #OHBM) community defines, uses & evaluates generative models, from biophysical simulations to ML-based approaches 👉 t.co/lRQj4qmknO @ohbmofficial.bsky.social @ohbmtrainees.bsky.social

What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, Al Powers and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

New preprint! We trained an RNN using RL to solve a decision making task used to characterize suboptimal decision making by Schizophrenic patients. First project exploring comp psych models, thanks to @adam-manoogian.bsky.social @shawnrhoadsphd.bsky.social @bqian.bsky.social @cpehlevan.bsky.social

Looks interesting ! @mgkumar138.bsky.social @shawnrhoadsphd.bsky.social @cpehlevan.bsky.social + William Qian

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
