How similar are two activity patterns? We all know that low correlations don't mean that they are necessarily dissimilar – our measurements could be noisy. So how do you correct for this? Our slightly nerdy, but hopefully useful preprint takes a deep dive: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How do people search for information to make efficient decisions? Our new theory, now out in Psychological Review, suggests that an efficient search rule is (at the core of) the answer. And eye-tracking data support our theory. Check out here (it's open access): psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

🚨New preprint alert🚨 Does hunger affect your decisions beyond food? We tested whether being hungry affects attention & choice across food, intertemporal and social domains. Spoiler: the effects of hunger state on attention and choice are more limited than you might think🧵👇

New paper from our lab 👶🧠: We know quite a bit about how a mother’s odor can influence social processes in infancy, but what about dad?👨‍🍼(1/2)

Our latest results on bioRxiv! Our EEG study shows that human brain activity consecutively supports both Bayesian integration and prediction‑error signalling. Plot twist: prediction‑error signalling appears to be consistent with the Reverse Hierarchy Theory! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
