Associate Professor/Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience job opening in our own @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social department. Details here: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

I am so honoured to have been selected as one of the Jane Coffin Childs Fund fellows this year!

Very pleased to share our recent work, in which we use LLMs for automated discovery of interpretable models of animal behavior 🪰🐀🕵️‍♀️ that take the form of Python programs 🐍 See below for a summary of key results by @pcastr.bsky.social!

Cognitive models of behavior are a key part of neuroscience. But discovering them is hard! In new work from Google DeepMind Neuroscience and collaborators @hhmijanelia.bsky.social, we demonstrate an approach that uses LLMs and large datasets to discover models automatically.

one of the most intriguing projects i've been involved in: automated scientific discovery in an area (human/animal RL) I've been working on forever. can an LLM do the job of my grad students? if it is backed up by super smart scientists incl @pcastr.bsky.social @neurokim.bsky.social & kevin miller
