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, Ilana Witten, Nathaniel Daw

Very grateful for the opportunity to share our findings and hear about all the amazing work being done across the field. GRC Neurobiology of Cognition Can’t beat learning about the mind in the mountains! 🧠⛰️✨

Fun and generative first lab paper by Jing Li, catch it this Friday #CogSci2024

I'm looking for a postdoc interested in computational cognitive modeling and deep reinforcement learning! Submit a CV and references here: apply.interfolio.com/150309 Please share with anyone who might be interested!

My lab Emory Psychology is recruiting up to *two* PhD students this year (translational-lab.com). Please RT 🔄 Apply through Clinical or Computational Cog Science, with the option to dual concentrate. More info here: docs.google.com/document/d/1d7…

I'm thrilled to announce I've joined the Bryn Mawr College psychology department as an assistant professor. I'm excited to begin this new chapter in the Bryn Mawr College Haverford College psych/neuro community!

For folks who aren't able to attend in-person, we are excited to be able to stream all talks this year on our youtube channel: youtube.com/@cogcompneuro Papers can be found here: 2024.ccneuro.org/poster-session… Please share!

Interested in applying computational approaches to understand developmental changes in learning? I’ll be at #CCN2024 this week and would love to talk to anyone who may be interested in joining my new BU lab next summer as a PhD student or lab manager. Please reach out!

In Boston for CogCompNeuro #CCN2024, stoked for work with our lab & collaborators 🐋: - Self-efficacy and generalization Jing Li (A7) - Automatic RL task design Maria Eckstein (B10) - Intracranial recordings during attention RL Christina Maher (talk on Thursday, C163)

Almost three years in the making, the preprint is out! We take another stab at the question: How do humans learn from reinforcement? (Spoiler alert: the answer is _not_ Reinforcement Learning). Huge thanks to the dream team: summerfieldlab @summerfieldlab.bsky.social Nathaniel Daw Kevin Miller

🚨 I'm joining Rutgers' Neurosurgery (Rutgers RWJMedSchool) and the Brain Health Institute (Rutgers Brain Health Institute) as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor this Fall! 🚨 My lab will use direct-brain recordings to study the neural computations weaving together human decisions, emotions, and memories.

Really excited to share that I'm hiring for a Research Scientist position in our team! If you're interested in the kind of cognitively-oriented work we've been doing on learning & generalization, data properties, representations, LMs, or agents, please check it out!

Super excited to share our new preprint “Unravelling Repetitive Negative Thinking With Reinforcement Learning”! Co-authored with Peter Hitchcock & Paul Sharp osf.io/preprints/psya… 1/8

Super excited to be co-organizing the New York Computational Psychiatry Workshop (NYCPW) w/ Angela Radulescu this year at Center for Computational Psychiatry! We have an exciting 3 days planned & a stellar team of instructors! Apply by Sept 23: form.jotform.com/242484145124149 More info: …or-computational-psychiatry.github.io/course_nycpw/

Thrilled to share that I'm joining UCLA as a faculty in July 2025, where I'm launching the Computational Cognitive Policy Lab! Our lab will combine experimental psychology with computational modeling to understand the psychology of climate inaction. 🌍🔬 ucla-cocopol.github.io

The Computational and Cognitive Neural Sciences lab at UC Riverside is recruiting psychology PhD students to join our team! Check out the flyer to learn about the lab and our stellar research community at UCR. UC Riverside Halle DimsdaleZucker Ilana Bennett Hayden Schill

Excited to finally share this preprint on bioRxiv! Here we uncover a novel role of amygdala in reinforcement learning (RL), within the framework of arbitration between competing models of the environment: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… (1/n)

Applications are still open for the New York Computational Psychiatry Workshop!
