Lucky to have such a diverse team presenting both the Meerkat project and the Chimpanzee work during @ecbb2024 poster session 🙏🏻@zoejturn KalahariResearchCentre UZH Science


And it’s over! Huge thank you to the organizing committee, chairs and all of the volunteers that made #ECBB2024 such a fantastic conference! And thank you to University of Zurich for having us, what a lovely campus 🌳


Had such an exciting week as a volunteer & poster presenter at my 1st ever conference, @ecbb2024!🐒 I presented the Ape Research Index project's preliminary results & its future impacts on ape cognitive research. Thank you to my lovely supervisors sofia forss & Elisa Bandini




I’m happy to announce that I have begun my Honors Undergraduate Research Thesis under the supervision of Professor Paul Masset. Throughout the next year, I will develop models of cognitive tasks that can be used to investigate the neural basis of value-based decision making. 🧠




I am recruiting graduate students for my lab McGill University for admission in Fall 2025! Get in touch if you're interested in how brain circuits implement distributed computation, including dopamine-based distributed RL and probabilistic representations.

It has been lovely organizing Montréal's first #cogsci conference for undergraduate student research. What a privilege to have Dr. Nancy Kanwisher @[email protected] join us as keynote for this event! Open to all - academics, students, industry professionals & curious thinkers alike Register now🔽


Congratulations to Professors Paul Masset (Psychology) and David Rolnick (Computer Science), who have been named 2025 Sloan Research Fellows by the Sloan Foundation! Read the full announcement➡️mcgill.ca/x/iZZ


Congratulations to HBHL-funded researcher Paul Masset on receiving a prestigious Sloan Research Fellowship in Neuroscience! Masset's innovative work focuses on how brain circuits process information and how these principles can improve #AI. 🙌 Read more: mcgill.ca/x/iZ4



Thanks to The Tribune for taking the time to chat with us and learn more about #CogSURF, taking place this Thursday! Read the piece here > thetribune.ca/sci-tech/cogsu… To learn about CogSURF > cogsurf.org


Yesterday, I had the opportunity to present my year-long honours research project at McGill University’s Undergraduate Honours Cognitive Science poster fair. Thank you to my supervisor, Paul Masset, & my lab mates for supporting me throughout!
