🧠🤖 New paper on AI & consciousness We challenge the idea that computational equivalence is the right test for machine consciousness. In cognitive science, consciousness is never “read off” from code, it’s inferred inductively from behavior with @thecharleywu.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/nc/n... 👇

Interested in applying for a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship (deadline September 2026) with me in decision neuroscience and economics (social and strategic decision making, cooperation, value-based choice, fMRI, computational modeling)? (1/2)

New pontification piece with @awestbrook.bsky.social and Jean Daunizeau, just out in TICS: Why is cognitive effort experienced as costly? (or why does it hurt to think) never written a review paper before in my life, that was a new and unusual experience

So happy this paper is now out in @plosbiology.org! We investigated whether fluctuations in MEPs can be explained by phasic influences from internal bodily rhythms, and whether this might happen independently per organ system. #interoception #neuroskyence

New preprint by @annalinavmayer.bsky.social and team members together with @tobikube.bsky.social 💫 „Self-esteem modulates beneficial causal attributions in the formation of novel self-beliefs“ #affectedbeliefs #sociallearning #beliefformation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨 New preprint! 🚨 Very happy to share our latest work on metacognition with M. Rouault, A. McWilliams, F. Chartier, @kndiaye.bsky.social and @smfleming.bsky.social where we identify contributors to self-performance estimates across memory and perception domains 👇 osf.io/preprints/ps...

🚨 New paper out in Mind & Society! Human reinforcement learning processes and biases: computational characterization and possible applications to behavioral public policy 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Very excited for @cogcompneuro.bsky.social, where I will present two nice ongoing projects! On Tuesday, meet me at poster A105 to learn about a huge value-learning dataset we are putting together (so far 3800 human subjects). Turns out, range adaptation is all the rage!

📣 Exciting announcement for the summer term: Starting in May, the @ccnberlin.bsky.social seminar series by Felix Blankenburg & Timo Schmidt (FU Berlin) is co-hosted by @david-s-stolz.bsky.social David Stolz (Universtiät Lübeck) and myself. The topic of all talks is: "CONTROL"

📢 I will be joining @tuda.bsky.social & @hessianai.bsky.social as a W3 Professor of Comp.Cog.Sci. I'll bring my #ERC project "C4: Compositional Compression in Cognition and Culture” & will receive funding from a LOEWE professorship. Hiring soon at all levels! 👀 www.tu-darmstadt.de/universitaet...
