Prof Jennifer Bussell discovered that rodents *really* like an informational heads-up about how much water they'll get soon. Even give up a large of % water for this information. PS informational choice is well predicted from OFC recording #CISE2025 jenniferbussell.org/cv/

Prof Caroline Charpentier (@caltech postdoc) shows Bayesian model evidence about advice-taking and confirmation bias sldlab.umd.edu #CISE2025

Tour de force talk decomposing aspects of novelty, surprise, info gain in multi-state tasks by @modirshanechi.bsky.social Novelty-seeking (visit new states) is common...even when its suboptimal #CISE2025

At #CISE2025 Jordan Wylie is discussing curiosity about moral and immoral folks (eg Netflix) moralitylab.bc.edu/people/alumn...

George Loewenstein summarizing 30 yrs of brilliant studies on curiosity and desire for information (or a desire to not know, eg likely bad news) #CISE2025 at Brown Univ

We’re kicking off day 2 of #CISE2025 🔭 with a fun talk from George Loewenstein on his tour de force research program on information gap theory

After 5 years, I finally carved out time to turn this blog post on FDR (markallenthornton.com/blog/fdr-pro...) into a manuscript. The preprint features a much broader range of simulations showing how FDR promotes confounds, and how this effect compounds with publication bias: osf.io/preprints/ps...

So excited to share that my first first-author paper is out in @commspsychol.nature.com 🎉 In a mini-meta analysis of seven studies, we looked at whether loneliness is related to altered expectations of one’s own and others' emotion transitions. www.nature.com/articles/s44... (1/4)

This SCOTUS decision is not just about what words we can and cannot say in our grants. This ruling will destroy the careers of many scientists, and it will hit trainees and early career researchers the hardest. The future of scientific training and research innovation is at stake.

Newly established calendar system or evidence that your RA needed a way to keep track of your many meeting ramblings?

Never ask postdocs what they'll be doing next year, that's considered terribly offensive in their culture.

📢 Job announcement: Two (!) 3-year postdoc jobs in our lab at UCL 📢 🧠💫🔊 We are looking for postdocs interested in the abstract mechanisms underlying social cognition. Modelling, fMRI and non-invasive ultrasound, a new deep-brain stimulation method. Please RT www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

🌵🏜️🌵 New preprint! How do people learn from ambiguous feedback, like whether someone is laughing *with* you 😆 or *at* you 😏? A very fun collab w/ the brilliant @rbhui.bsky.social A brief thread...👇 📖 osf.io/preprints/ps...

🚨📊ɴᴇᴡ ᴘᴀᴘᴇʀ!! When we learn a new skill—like tying shoelaces or making pasta—we often start with a series of deliberate steps. But eventually, those steps blend into a smooth, single unit: an action chunk. But why and when do we chunk? 👇 📰https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1lMMD2Hx2-9B8

I sadly can't make it to #CPConf2025, but lucky for you, that means @nurasidarus.bsky.social will present our work "Causal attribution of valenced outcomes and its association with transdiagnostic mental health symptoms" at poster #1.70 on the 14th. We're eager for your thoughts!

Our newest paper, led by Romy Froemer and @fredcallaway.bsky.social‬, is now out in Open Mind: “Considering What We Know and What We Don’t Know: Expectations and Confidence Guide Value Integration in Value-Based Decision-Making” direct.mit.edu/opmi/article...
