Why (and how) we need to professionalize neuroscience By Jakob Voigts thetransmitter.org/systems-neuros…

The Gillespie lab is looking for a tech to join our team in Seattle! Help us build some cool automated maze environments to study the neural mechanisms of memory impairment in aging and Alzheimer's disease! Details here: uwhires.admin.washington.edu/ENG/candidates…

fMRI paper with Amitai Shenhav finally out in print! nature.com/articles/s4156… How can we control multiple forms of attention? Our results suggest through 'priority subspaces' across the frontoparietal network that independently control how we process different features.

⭐ Come do a fun postdoc with us Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg in collab with Nathaniel Daw Princeton University 👇 I'm very much excited about this project!!!

Excited to share our work on active learning for latent variable models, out in neural computation last month! direct.mit.edu/neco/article/3… w/ @zoe_ashwood Jonathan Pillow

So excited to share our preprint investigating the effects of early-life stress on postnatal chromatin development! Immense gratitude to the team!✨🧠✨ @Cate_cholamine Dr. Mike Deberadine Jay Kim Dr. Nibal Arzouni Laura Shannon Bennett

Our preprint just dropped!! 🙌 Check out how acetylcholine parses heterogeneous dopamine signals!!

New preprint with Nathaniel Daw: A model for planning implemented by MEC cognitive maps (e.g., grid- and object-vector- cells). It plans efficiently & flexibly by combining planning-ready (=predictive) representations of objects/goals compositionally. 1/4 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our long awaited feature-specific RPE (previously known as the vector RPE) paper is finally out! 🎇🎇🎇 nature.com/articles/s4159… Huge thanks to co-authors Yotam Sagiv , Ben Engelhard, @IlanaWitten, Nathaniel Daw

A feature-specific reward prediction error (RPE) model: individual VTA #dopamine neurons report RPEs for different aspects of an animal’s situation, explaining heterogeneity in DA signals Dr. Rachel Lee Yotam Sagiv Nathaniel Daw @IlanaWitten nature.com/articles/s4159…

I’m looking for a research technician to help study the role of the basal ganglia in foraging decisions Northwestern Neuroscience. This is a great opportunity to get experience before grad school and help lead a project!

My lab in Haifa is hiring PhD/Post-doc to work on the cognitive basis of social norms. We will use multiplayer computer games, computational models of behavior and multiagent RL simulations. e.g. osf.io/6fw42 . Send CV to [email protected]

I’m recruiting PhD students for my (soon-to-launch) lab at Boston University! If you’re interested in the intersection of computation, learning, & development, please reach out. I’ll be at #Flux2024 and #SNE2024 and am happy to meet up. cldlab.org

📣 I'll be recruiting PhD students for Fall 2025. Take a look at the lab website and the FAQ for prospective students: piraylab.com/join Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

First paper of my PhD out in current biology: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Are you a clinical psychologist interested in computational modeling? The Niv lab will be looking for a postdoc in computational psychiatry/psychotherapy and we are especially keen on people with a clinical background. Email me with CV & research statement if this is you!

My paper on hierarchical plans is out in Cognition!🎉 tldr: We ask participants to generate hierarchical plans in a programming game. People prefer to reuse beyond what standard accounts predict, which we formalize as induction of a grammar over actions. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kBQr2Hx2xLNA
