Our new preprint (collaboration with Claire Gillan Celine Fox and Sam Gilbert) explores the complex relationship between metacognition, compulsivity and the utilization of external reminders. (1/7)

If you are lucky enough to be at the Cambridge Neuroscience Symposium today (Cam Neuroscience) you can see Krisztina and Georgie from lab talking about their latest work - on expectations, uncertainty, paranoia, information seeking and meta-awareness 🧠

Lots of Oliver's blood sweat and tears in this new preprint. We found BOLD signals reflecting predicted-but-omitted shapes in the CA23 and pre/para-subiculum subfields of the hippocampus, as well as the parahippocampal cortex. 1/2 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Have you ever been curious about how well you know that you know? Our latest study found that individuals display a high level of curiosity about their metacognitive accuracy, sometimes even more so than about perceptual accuracy itself! osf.io/preprints/psya… (🧵1/7)
