Just posted with @serenxia.bsky.social and @pharmacopsychology.bsky.social : a systematic review of pharmacological effects on human aversive memory. We searched data bases for 215 candidate drugs and summarise the evidence from 100 studies on 36 compounds following #PRISMA2020 protocol.

[1/2] Ever wondered how your brain learns to anticipate negative events? 🧠 We just helped to map the brain's 'fear network'! This #ENIGMA consortium study found that while fear responses are universal, task design and clinical status yield relevant differences in brain activity.

📢 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!

📢 Our paper is out now! We propose an unsupervised skeleton-based temporal action segmentation framework. If you are interested in exploring actions in skeleton sequences without human annotations, check it out: Paper: www.arxiv.org/abs/2508.04513 Project page: uzaygokay.github.io/SMQ/

#bignews: @unibonn.bsky.social now has a Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience and it is already growing! Welcome to Bonn, Professor Floris de Lange @predictivebrain.bsky.social ! New #caian website and more updates will follow within the next few weeks. www.caian.uni-bonn.de/en/news

📢We are looking to hire a PhD student at @unibonn.bsky.social to investigate the cognitive mechanisms of human decision-making under threat in #VR. Apply by June 15. More information: www.caian.uni-bonn.de/en/team/oppo... #vrthreat #PhDposition #jobalert #researchjob #neuroscience #psychology

New from the lab with J. Brochard & P. Dayan: Theoretical review on #criticalintelligence: How to make rapid decisions with utmost precision when under threat. We identify computational challenges, candidate solutions & cognitive experiments to disambiguate them www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How do animals and humans develop a survival plan in a fraction of a second, much faster than a computer? ⌛ Read the answer in our 🔥new article here👇 (of course #openaccess). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

👉 Check out our new #CogLearn Toolkit for #Unity: we built and validated (across 5 samples) an immersive #VR paradigm for human avoidance learning. Basic version can be controlled by simple text files; more control via publicly available Unity toolkit. doi.org/10.3758/s134... #humanavoidancelearning

This month, we welcomed Steven Lieu as a PhD student to our team @unibonn.bsky.social. Looking forward to working with you! 🙌

New from the lab: comparing CR in human Pavlovian reward conditioning/retention over 7 days across 2 samples. Bradycardia is best index of learning & retention, pupil dilation only for retention.

👉New review from the lab on measurement validation in social sciences. #MTMM has long been the gold standard - but is often cumbersome. We contrast it with a fresh approach: experiment-based calibration. We offer clear guidance when to use which. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
