New paper out! We find that, while uncertainty language and negative sentiment on X increased for COVID-19 and 2020 US elections, during the Capitol attack, the link reversed! Moral outrage, anger and fear spiked, and uncertainty language went down. psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi…

Had a great time talking to The Mental Elf about some of our work on structure learning and uncertainty in anxiety at #BAP2024. Mostly re this paper: nature.com/articles/s4146…

#DB communicating uncertainty 👀

This is a fantastic and concise tutorial on managing multiple R versions in Linux: biostars.org/p/9593040/ 🙏💙🐧

💫🚨 #CCN2024 Curious about different mechanisms of generalization? Check out poster B26 by Luianta Verra on how there seem to be genuine (+ stable) individual differences in generalization mechanisms, and how these relate to anxiety. Work with Nico Schuck and Bernhard Spitzer 👇

"Confidence-weighted integration of human and machine judgments for superior decision-making" w Felipe Yáñez Xiaoliang (Ken) Luo Can humans, when performing worse than LLMs, add value to teams? Yes, bc humans and LLMs make different errors. Simple, fast, easy method arxiv.org/abs/2408.08083

🚨 Check our new work on learning from surprising outcomes in older and younger adults. It was fantastic to be part of this team 💫💫

🚨I'm looking for a postdoc! The role will be focused on building computational models of learning and decision-making, and understanding the role of these processes in anxiety Get in touch if you want to know more! See job advert here for details: my.corehr.com/pls/kclrecruit…

If you only read one thread today, read this one.💗 Thank you Tim Clare ❤️❤️

📅⌛️Reminder: Only 5 more days left to apply for the postdoc position in virtual reality for multi-agent behaviour with our lab. #vr #vrresearch caian.uni-bonn.de/en/team/opport…

Exporting all plots to svg/pdf is the way to go. Basically ALL graphical and plotting tools have this option (incl matplotlib, base r, julia, ggplot). Thanks for spreading the word Leonardo Jo, I come across this way too often 🙏🙏

Great opportunity with Romy Frömer at Birmingham

Long overdue #tweeprint: ✨The generalised hierarchical Gaussian filter✨ Ever wanted to build your own hierarchical Bayesian learning model without deriving/implementing new equations? Ever wondered how the HGF relates to predictive coding? See here👇 arxiv.org/abs/2305.10937

📰 New preprint! We show using computational modelling that transdiagnostic compulsivity is associated with greater uncertainty about learned task structure This work was led by Siri Sookud, starting during her MSc Thread below👇 osf.io/preprints/psya… 1/n

Publication alert🚨! Happy to share my latest work with Lion Schulz Michael; mastodon: @[email protected] Vaughan Bell Peter Dayan and Joe Barnby, published on Computational Psychiatry cpsyjournal.org/articles/10.53…. TL;DR: theory of mind is a dual edge sward in social situations. 1/3

Postdoc opportunity: We are looking for candidates with prior experience in analysing neural data to work at the forefront of developing personalised neurostimulation strategies for Parkinson's. See jobs.ac.uk/job/DJL069/res… for details about the position and how to apply.

Academia 2.0: I am "giving" a talk at the #DGPs conference in Vienna while nearly simultaneously interviewing for a grant in Germany. Thanks to the authors for the invitation and making this superposition possible! 💫

New preprint! 🚨 osf.io/preprints/psya… Does deciding when to help others depend on our environment? (spoiler: yes!)
