I think it's probably time to share this...I wrote a book. It's coming out in dec 2022 (in theory). It is intended to help cognitive scientists, neuroscientists and AI researchers find a common language for talking about computation and intelligence.

Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions. By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. elifesciences.org/inside-elife/5…

Yes, fitting all of the data rather than a specific behavioral pattern has low explanatory power for understanding *why* a cognitive model wins over alternatives. We argue that most of the work consists in finding a task and pattern where tested models make different predictions.

A bunch of Mark Stokes's trainees (from many points in time) put together a list of '10 simple rules for a supportive lab environment', inspired by the example he set. This has been a wonderful moment of reflection for me personally, as I start my own lab direct.mit.edu/jocn/article/d…

This is amazing, thanks Alex et al for putting this together. I’m honoured by the kind words, but also very proud of your collective wisdom. Thanks for the inspiration you have all provided me over the years. Continue doing wonderful things!

Uncertainty creates opportunity, so here is a PhD opportunity (competition funded) to study decision-making under uncertainty in naturalistic environments . Deadline 29 Jan 2023. findaphd.com/phds/project/d… ktsetsoslab.net BristolUniPsych Bristol Neuroscience

ChatGPT is incredibly limited, but good enough at some things to create a misleading impression of greatness. it's a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now. it’s a preview of progress; we have lots of work to do on robustness and truthfulness.

🚨New paper!🚨 out in Nature Human Behaviour “Experiential values are underweighted in decisions involving symbolic options” by basilegrc, with Mael Lebreton, with the collaboration of Sacha BG, where we empirically challenge the common currency hypothesis of value representation /n

Mark was the best kind of person and scientist there is. Many of us look up to him and will keep looking up to him in many ways. I can't believe he is gone.

Ravi de partager cette conférence que j’ai donné à la Cité des Sciences, pour un public un poil plus jeune que d’habitude (6-8 ans) ! Tellement d’énergie et d’envie de participer 🤩, et la séance de questions-réponses à la fin sur le gorille… 👍 Merci ! youtu.be/giV0LsuELuk

Awesome news! 🤩 I have now zero objective reason for not transitioning to Python… Congrats and thank you Luigi for your hard work on this.
