Common neural choice signals reflect accumulated evidence, not confidence! Now out in @cerebralcortex.bsky.social w @helenevanmarcke.bsky.social @pierreledenmat.bsky.social @yfvisser.bsky.social @denizerdil.bsky.social a.o. Paper: desenderlab.com/wp-content/u... Thread ↓↓↓

Companion piece in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social to our recent @nathumbehav.nature.com paper, in which we put our "Social feature learning" model of social learning strategies in context.

If you want to read more about the nuts and bolts of our reward learning account of social learning—the Social Feature Learning (SFL) model—check out our recent @nathumbehav.nature.com paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ever wondered if you were aware of your own biases? Us too! If you're attending #RLDM2025, stop by poster #92 on Friday to learn how we tested insight into perceptual decision biases using (hierarchical) drift diffusion modelling. Work with @kobedesender.bsky.social, Peter Murphy & Hanne Daenen.

The second @rldmdublin2025.bsky.social poster from the lab is by fantastic PhD student Shen Tian. Using modeling and experiments, he investigated the key role of semantic knowledge in a complex innovation task (originated by @maximederex.bsky.social). On Thursday, poster #86

Join our @erc.europa.eu funded lab @ki.se! We're hiring a postdoc to explore how humans learn from each other — with fMRI, modeling, & behavioral experiments. 🧠👫 A chance to lead cutting-edge work in social neuro & computational psychology. Apply: shorturl.at/GJQuW

Dynamic modulation of confidence based on the metacognitive skills of collaborators! Now out in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social New work from @felixhermans.bsky.social Simon Gaia @majafr.bsky.social and me! Paper here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40262423/ Details ↓↓↓

PhD position in cognitive computational neuroscience! Join us, & investigate how we can endow domain-specific models of vision (eg DNNs) with domain-general processes such as metacognition or working memory. All details => www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jo... #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence

Why does it feel good to be sure? In new work @voalan.bsky.social @andero.bsky.social and I bridge confidence and affect. In perceptual DM, we found a remarkably consistent association between both measures! ↓↓↓ link: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence

Optimal confidence = P(correct|evidence, time), but how do humans compute this? @pierreledenmat.bsky.social Tom Verguts and I provide a low-dimensional approximation of optimal confidence (the LDC model). paper: journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence

It was only a matter of time - a metacognition starter pack! Do let me know if I’ve missed people or if you’d like to be added #neuroskyence 🧪 go.bsky.app/9PSjwLF
