Only two weeks in and Melbourne already feels like home. Loving what the city has to offer on both the research front and beyond! Oh, and my walk to the office isn’t half bad either 🌿☀️

Academics are under unrelenting pressure to accept the narrative of the inevitability of #generativeAI & to embrace it in teaching & learning. We resist - because it is ecologically destructive, ethically corrupt, & because it undermines the thinking abilities that make us both human & intelligent.

I'm looking for a public dataset of young+older people doing a simple perceptual decision-making task, with sufficient trial + subject numbers. Ideally, multiple stimulus difficulty levels but no manipulations (conditions, task switching etc). This must exist - tips for where to look? 🧒👨‍🦳🧠

In life, 3 things are certain: death, taxes, and decision-making variability🧠. Our review tinyurl.com/4dcwafc4 explores how computational models 💻 explain variability, their limits, and recent advances. A thread🧵👇 @redmondoconnell.bsky.social @neuromurphy.bsky.social Mark Bellgrove (not on Bluesky)
