To conclude, however crazy some radical behaviourist positions and claims may sound, I have to admit that I somehow admire their epistemological boldness and I seriously believe they must have been fun to hang out and argue with 🤓 end/n

If you're at #foragingconference2024 , come check out our poster (#60) with Alireza Modirshanechi and Gerstner Lab today! Using a unified computational framework and two open-access datasets, we show how novelty and novelty-guided behaviors are influenced by stimulus similarities😊🤩

Happy to share my second paper with Peter Dayan on our decision-theoretic approach to perceptual multistability (see the tweeprint of the first paper here x.com/neuroprinciple…): A decision-theoretic model of multistability biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
