What a day. Our foundation model of cognitive science is out in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @marcelbinz.bsky.social's thread: bsky.app/profile/marc... Centaur is featured by the NYT: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/s... We got featured in a Nature views: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Claire and team did a remarkable job here, and you should read their reply. An updated preprint from us will be out shortly, reflecting our revised understanding of these issues.

We @smfleming.bsky.social, Marion Rouault and @seowxft.bsky.social and I) have posted a reply osf.io/preprints/ps... to a preprint that recently raised concerns about the validity of associations between mental health and metacognition from online studies. I hope you can take the time to read it.

I am so excited to share that our paper 'A neural basis for distinguishing imagination from reality' is now published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social! 🧠✨ See thread below! doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Some coverage in Danish newspapers (with a very broad interpretation) of our recent study ☺️ uniavisen.dk/en/you-did-w...

Do you have #ADHD or #autism? We're running a short, anonymous survey on interoception. It takes just 15–20 minutes, and your input would mean a lot. 👉 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Our recent paper in Nat Comms on how people form global underconfidence despite good performance is being covered in popsci press as providing insight into the Imposter Syndrome phys.org/news/2025-04... @sciencex.bsky.social

Lovely spin on our recent study on underconfidence in the Danish weekly Weekendavisen www.weekendavisen.dk/2025-13/idee... Link to original study: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @weekendavisen.dk @smfleming.bsky.social

Paper out in PLOS Mental Health 2 weeks ago 🙈 but better late than never! Collab with @smfleming.bsky.social and @tobiasuhauser.bsky.social. We investigated how confidence is altered in transdiagnostic compulsivity across memory and perception, as memory confidence is typically lowered in OCD. (1/4)

We are excited to post a new preprint with Shiyi Liang @shiyiliang.bsky.social: 'Reinforcement learning is positively associated with anhedonia symptoms' osf.io/preprints/ps... (a bit late here – a version was online back in December) @mpc-comppsych.bsky.social

Great work by @sucharit.bsky.social suggesting that one failure mode in maintaining low self-esteem is the failure to integrate experiences of high confidence into self-esteem. Would be great to develop the intervention/therapeutic potential further.

This is a great study, if I may say. We have had a lot of data showing correlations between subjective assessments and behaviour between individuals. With this study, we are starting to see how they interact over days within individuals. Congratulations @samuelhewitt.bsky.social!

Pleased to share our latest collaborative publication, "Thermosensory predictive coding underpins an illusion of pain", out now in Science Advances! The first major output of our Visceral Mind Project, lead by the amazing @francescafardo.bsky.social! www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Very excited to organise the 4th edition of the Metacognitive Science Meeting in Amsterdam just before the @cogcompneuro.bsky.social conference, on Monday 11th Aug 2025. More information to come soon but please save the date!

Love this (below); Here's a short piece to a similar tune from me, @alvanoe.bsky.social, & @evanthompson.bsky.social (2024) –– "LLMs Don't Know Anything" philpapers.org/archive/GODL...

Can we enhance interoception by controlling the heart? Thrilled to share our new study, led by @ashleytyrer.bsky.social , where we use computational modeling to show that blockading peripheral noradrenaline uniquely alters awareness of heart rate & breathing! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵👇

Many congratulations on this excellent work @mkwittmann.bsky.social @yongling.bsky.social @cormacd.bsky.social

We're recruiting for new postdoc and RA positions on our @erc.europa.eu project "ConsciousComputation" To apply and for more details, please see: RA: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/... Postdoc: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/... Very happy to chat to anyone interested! 🧠🧪

New study finds that pain and itch are processed by specific neurons in the cingulate cortex. I wonder what that means for theories that say that anything in these areas should be considered interoception? 🤔 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our paper where we use computational modelling to study how some people continue to be underconfident in their abilities despite having intact performance out in Nature Communications @naturecomms.bsky.social with @smfleming.bsky.social @docqhuys.bsky.social Ray Dolan
