📢 We're hiring a Research Assistant in cognitive neuroscience & computational psychiatry! 📢 Join us at UCL to conduct an MEG study of reward & memory, exploring how brain signals link to variability in apathy and anhedonia. 🔗 apply from next week: lmdlab.github.io 🚨closes September 12th!

📢 We are hiring! 📢 For our @wellcometrust.bsky.social grant on information gathering biases in #OCD and #Schizophrenia, we are looking for a Postdoc in Computational Modelling, supervised by Peter Dayan and myself. Interested? See all the details in the job advert here: devcompsy.org/wp-content/u...

Delighted to share our work on replay and successor representations! We find replay during very short task pauses in human visual cortex that is linked to learning SRs & happens when learning is implicit. Study led by @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social #compneuro #neuroskyence www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🧵 New paper! We studied depression symptoms and goal-directed decisions under uncertainty @shiyiliang.bsky.social, with @evanrussek.bsky.social & @robbrutledge.bsky.social Surprisingly, we found that apathy–anhedonia was linked to enhanced goal-directed behavior. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We are recruiting a new PI at the FIL @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social, Associate or Full Professor. This is an amazing place to do cognitive neuroscience, in the heart of London. If you or someone you know might be interested, please pass it on. #neuroskyence www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Postdoc opening - highly recommended!

Epic dopamine / VTA neuron diversity paper

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

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! 🧠🧪

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

New paper from our lab now in @nature.com . We show that our brains use basis functions or "building blocks" to navigate social interactions. Rather than tracking every individual separately, social information is compressed into patterns that can be flexibly combined. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Come join us at Trinity College Dublin for the 6th Multidisciplinary Conference on Reinforcement Learning and Decision Making (RLDM2025) Abstract deadline January 15: rldm.org/submit

To find folks from twitter you used to follow, the 'Sky Follower Bridge'. (Though a small percent of bluesky accounts were colonized by different people with the same name.)

I am beyond excited to share our new preprint ‘A neural basis for distinguishing between imagination and reality’ with Thomas von Rein, @peterkok.bsky.social and @smfleming.bsky.social! osf.io/preprints/ps... a thread 🧵

Did you know #RLDM2025 is coming to Dublin next June? rldm.org Abstract submission open now ☘️ 🇮🇪

New preprint from my postdoc with @tobiasuhauser.bsky.social at the MPC! TL;DR: there is a strong recency bias in information gathering and it is attenuated in people on the #OCD spectrum - a possible mechanism for #indecisiveness 🤔 Paper here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thread below...

📢 Computational Psychiatry Conference 2025: symposium abstract submission now open. 📢 We are excited to announce that #cpconf2025 will take place in Tübingen, Germany, 14-16 July 2025. We are now accepting symposium submissions!

Heuristics in risky decision-making relate to preferential representation of information www.nature.com/articles/s41... in MEG! Congratulations to the apparently not-on-bluesky Evan Russek! and Rani Moran, RD, and Quentin Huys

Postdoc alert! Come work with me on an ESRC project on the role of narratives in the learning and retention of educational material. 2 year position, start date flexible but no later than 1st September. Application deadline 1st March. #neuroskyence #psychscisky #cognition

Postdoc in our lab! Last day to apply! Please apply if interested - don’t worry about supporting docs or anything. (Apologies for the awkward timing on the deadline - it was an HR thing.)

We are excited to announce the 2024 Computational Psychiatry Conference! Back one year later by popular demand - this time in Minneapolis, Minnesota July 16-18. www.cpconf.org

! Job alert ! Our postdoc position at the UCL Learning Memory & Decision lab is open for applications! Please see the ad here: t.ly/gLGHu The ad currently closes on January 2nd. Experts in memory or decision-making and imaging (& behavior), please apply!  See thread below.  Please share!

Postdoc job alert! We have an opening in our growing group. The research will focus on neuroimaging of memory and goal-directed decision-making, with decoding of representations with MEG (+ RL, mood, and computational psychiatry) @ UCL @ FIL @ Max Planck UCL Centre

While it’s *deeply* unfashionable to be publishing in @elife.bsky.social right now - do humour us for advertising a study that was several years in the making (submitted way back when it was still possible for reviewers to reject us!). We’re rather proud of it.🧵👇 elifesciences.org/articles/82823

The CAMS Lab is recruiting a #postdoc! 👀 for researchers with experience & interest in fMRI and memory/affect. Learn more about our work and values at medicine.yale.edu/lab/goldfarb/ ; please email me [elizabeth dot goldfarb at yale] your CV and coverletter if interested! #neurojobs #psychjobs 🧠🟦

🌟First post over here, which I'm very happy to use to share a new paper in TICS with Angela Radulescu & Kara Emery. 🌟 We review work taking an approach we refer to as "naturalistic reinforcement learning", which uses more naturalistic approaches to study learning and decision-making.

🌟Come and do a PhD with me, Matt Howard @liviasimela.bsky.social @joebarnby.bsky.social 🌟 Project available through the IoPPN MRC DTP on modulation of responses to aversive stimuli, see below for more details and reach out if interested! kcl-mrcdtp.com/project/self... #PsychSciSky #cpsy 🧠📈 🧠🤖

Hi Bluesky! My lab is recruiting a grad student and a postdoc (for the postdoc we’re amassing some neat fMRI data that needs an analyst 👀). Visit our website for more info on our openings and to learn more about the LUMeNaries: scholarblogs.emory.edu/lumenlab/get...

Interesting work showing quite low test-retest reliability in a very common reward learning task, with relevance for computational psychiatry. It suggests, as other research has hinted, that feedback learning tasks – with rapid & massed repetitions – are not an all-purpose solution.

First empirical pub from the lab! Fear generalization - spreading ⚡️ assoc to similar stimuli - characterizes anxiety. Here we show that 🍷 assoc also spread to similar stimuli for indiv engaging in risky drinking pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37682597/

How we are evaluated by others has critical consequences for our careers. Decisions about publications, grants, promotions, & tenure depend on input from peers But there are numerous documented biases in peer review. We review these biases & call for a better way forward #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky

folks, don't forget to share your invites with our #neuroskyence invite pool! It is really helping to massively accelerate the community.
