😍 Our latest is out now in @commspsychol.nature.com. 🤩 We show with Bayesian modelling and experimental manipulation of uncertainty that developmental differences in social influence depend on differences in the internal uncertainty people have about their choice doi.org/10.1038/s442...

Feeling *gitty* about this fall with two exciting workshops on Version Control with Git for Scientists coming up @mpib-berlin.bsky.social and @rtg2660.bsky.social @uni-wuerzburg.de! ✨ Sounds interesting? Check out my website, where I share course materials: lennartwittkuhn.com 💫 #OpenScience #Git

🚨 I am over the moon 🌓 to announce that I am joining University College Dublin @ucddublin.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor this fall to start the Uncertain Mind (UMI) lab 💫 I am looking for PhD/Postdoc candidates to join (more below 👇 ). Please RT as the deadline is pretty soon 🙏

Delighted to share our work on replay and successor representations! We find replay during very short task pauses in human visual cortex that is linked to learning SRs & happens when learning is implicit. Study led by @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social #compneuro #neuroskyence www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Very glad to finally share our paper on replay and successor representation learning! ✨

Check out this new preprint on factorized representations and generalization, led by the fabulous Sam Hall-McMaster (and selectively generalized bonus reading recommendations by @nicoschuck.bsky.social) ✨

Excited to share our latest work spearheaded by @anikaloewe.bsky.social & @maritpetzka.bsky.social. 20 min naps increased the chance to solve an insight task if sleep reached N2 stage; but the EEG spectral slope was the best predictor of insight dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour... #compneuro #psychscisky

preprint alert 🚨 1/ Can we accurately detect sequential replay in humans using Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling (#TDLM)? In our recent study, we could not find any replay and decided to dig deeper by running a hybrid simulation with surprising results. Link to preprint & details below 👇

🚨💫🤖 RLDM Workshop announcement: "Game on: Leveraging Gamification in Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience" Contributed talks submissions now OPEN: shorturl.at/0p0Jd Looking forward to seeing you in Dublin! w/ @luiantaverra.bsky.social & @ingrdmrtn.bsky.social

🚨 Finally out! My new @annualreviews.bsky.social in Psychology paper: www.annualreviews.org/content/jour... We unpack why psych theories of generalization keep cycling from rigid rule-based models to flexible similarity-based ones, then culminating in Bayesian hybrids. Let's break it down 👉 🧵

Is "Git-anuary" a thing? 🤔 Committing to finally learn Git (did you git the pun)? 💫 Anyway, last month we wrapped up two great courses: Full-semester course @uni-hamburg.de & 3-day course at ZI Mannheim! lennartwittkuhn.com/news/ As always, the Git journey continues in our Version Control Book 🚀

It’s a Preprint! 👋 We show how we can dissociate perceptual from value-based mechanisms of generalisation + that stronger gen. in anxiety is associated with value rather than perception. w/ @ondrejzika.bsky.social @nicoschuck.bsky.social @bernhardspitzer.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/n

🚨💫Check out our new work on perceptual and value-based mechanisms of aversive generalisation 👇 Project led by the truly outstanding @luiantaverra.bsky.social. #veryveryveryproudsupervisor Together with @nicoschuck.bsky.social and @bernhardspitzer.bsky.social

Exciting PhD opportunities in various labs in Hamburg, including ours. Feel free to contact me regarding details. www.uni-hamburg.de/stellenangeb...

🎄 Day 16 of our DRAdvent Calendar! 🎄 Comprehensive slides for a 3 hour workshop on Data Version Control, Computational Reproducibility, Good Coding Practices, and Open Platforms by DRA Trainer, @likeajumprope.bsky.social ! 💻✨ Check out Johanna’s slides here: https://zenodo.org/records/14268445

We could basically get reproducibility checks for free, if papers were computational notebooks (Jupyter, Quarto, RMarkdown, etc.), only successfully rendered versions accepted for publication and everything automated via pull request triggered CI/CD pipelines.

„Maybe reproducibility should have a practical expiration date anyway, since it’s mostly useful around the time of publication.“ I agree. Maintaining reproducibility for decades is great but hard. It should be verified at the time of publication. But who does it? Journals? Reviewers?

🚨Join our team! We’re hiring a PhD student in Cognitive & Clinical Neuroscience 🧠 🎓 at @uni_wue & @UKW_Wuerzburg! Explore mechanisms of decision-making in healthy people & Parkinson’s using new deep brain stimulation methods. German & English required. Apply by 20 Dec! 🌟🎄 Details: shorturl.at/IcNa0

Actually waiting for the answer „Code available upon reasonable request“

Hey #neuroskyence #compneurosky, et al., I am looking for code examples of reinforcement learning modeling in Python 🐍 I am mainly interested in *code organization* here. Thanks for any pointers to your favorite examples! 💫

Friends, what license do you use for github code repos? There are so many licenses these days. Would love to hear both academics and industry colleagues' reasoning if you feel like sharing!

Keeping the privilege of causing chaos for myself 🦹‍♂️ #Git #GitHub

Very interesting discussion of sensory vs. latent ML replay. Looks like we need to write an update to our 2021 review on “Replay in minds and machines” (pure.mpg.de/rest/items/i...). Exciting new developments in that area!

Our work on inductive biases in reinforcement learning is out: tinyurl.com/yfc74e3u By the fantastic @noahedrich.bsky.social Ppl learn faster from slowly changing features; we argue this reflects an inductive bias. Teamwork w @ericschulz.bsky.social & S HallMcMaster #neuroskyence #compneuro

Want to make your research (data) management more reproducible + collaborative? Check out DataLad (www.datalad.org)! I had the pleasure of introducing it at our Joint Lab Meeting (Gluth, Schuck & Schwabe labs) at @uni-hamburg.de today! Slides here: lennartwittkuhn.com/talk-uhh-rdm... #Git #DataLad

Memory researchers: I am looking for studies of the temporal dynamics of (conscious / deliberate) memory retrieval compared to (unconscious / spontaneous) memory reactivation / replay. Any pointers appreciated, bonus points for studies involving humans and multi-item sequences. Thanks! #neuroskyence

I am a bit afraid the whole Starter Pack business leaves behind trainees — make sure to follow / repost them if their work interests you so their voices are heard #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #compneurosky

Updated preprint: check it out if you are interested in biases in perception, oscillations and GLMMs. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm happy to share our Review article, "Cognitive Maps and Schizophrenia", synthesising evidence for representation-level abnormalities in the condition, and proposing directions for future work. Out now in Trends in Cognitive Science. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I don’t see why people get worked up about academic publishing. It’s easy. You just publish in a journal that’s not-for-profit, open access, free to publish, and highly respected in and out of your field because it only publishes high quality papers. With fully transparent but double blind review… 🧵

(1/5) Very excited to announce the publication of Bayesian Models of Cognition: Reverse Engineering the Mind. More than a decade in the making, it's a big (600+ pages) beautiful book covering both the basics and recent work: mitpress.mit.edu/978026204941...

OpenNeuro.org is now on Bluesky! Follow us for project updates and exciting new datasets.

Happy to share our review on OFC/vmPFC representations in Trends in Neurosciences, written with @nirmoneta.bsky.social and Shany Grossman www.cell.com/trends/neuro... Very short thread below to summarize our review #neuroscience #neuroskyence #compneurosky #PsychSciSky

📺🎤 Video Release! We teach scientists how to track, organize and share their work using #VersionControl with #Git! I was interviewed about our course concept (German only, sorry)! 🧑‍🏫 Thanks to #DDLitLab @uni-hamburg.de for production + funding! 🙏 lecture2go.uni-hamburg.de/l2go/-/get/v...

First post here: our latest paper on insight-like learning dynamics (and the factors causing them) in humans and ANNs journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... published last month in PLoS Comp Bio. with @nicoschuck.bsky.social @summerfieldlab.bsky.social @saxelab.bsky.social Paul Muhle-Karbe and Léo Touzo

New study w/ Sarah Schiavone @bethclarke.bsky.social & @simine.com "An empirical appraisal of eLife’s assessment vocabulary" doi.org/10.1371/jour... eLife uses a common vocabulary to describe the importance & strength of support of published research. But is this vocabulary interpreted as intended?
