Google missed the mark on this one. I thought of you NPR's Planet Money.

Tomorrow (Saturday), @jennifoureyes EG Gaffin-Cahn axemtitanium and I will present a workshop and a poster about ScAAN (ScAAN) at the NSPN Science Policy Symposium #NSPNSymposium18 SEPA @scipolnetwork sciencepolicysymposium.org. Looking forward!

We are excited to release our interactive map of storm surge-vulnerable sites in New York City, made in collaboration with @NYCEJAlliance. Check it out below: nyc-eja.org/waterfront-map/

Our first preprint is now available! (EG Gaffin-Cahn). We found confidence judgements incorporate priors and/or payoffs incorrectly: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Sharing this resource for my fellow students at NYU (GSAS) who wish to write their PhD thesis in Latex and want a general template to start from. Comments, good or bad, are welcome. github.com/ShannonLocke/t…

Excited to finally share my work on sensorimotor confidence. We examined how humans introspect about their visuomotor tracking. TL;DR: they mainly monitored tracking performance from feedback, but with a recency bias. Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If a choice is rewarded more, we'll be more confident in our decision. Shannon M Locke Nadia Hosseinizaveh biorRxiv v2 out now! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very cool! How many years until I can get a xenobot pet? MIT Technology Review technologyreview.com/f/615041/these…

@sarahelnozahy I like to consider two different strategies: The "physics" approach - build the most abstract model that can account for the phenomenon. The "kitchen sink" approach - build the least abstract model you have data to support. Both have their uses!

Every wondered how priors and payoffs interact with perceptual confidence? Check out our now officially published paper: rdcu.be/b32Hf. Big thanks to my awesome collaborators EG Gaffin-Cahn, Nadia Hosseinizaveh, Pascal Mamassian, and Mike Landy!

How good is your model? I wrote (a few years ago) a step-by-step walkthrough of (part of) a Bayesian model evaluation method (Vehtari, Gelman, & Gabry, 2017) - an improvement on importance sampling in leave-one-out cross validation called PSIS-LOO 🙃 egc.nyc/files/psis-loo…

Great writeup! Psychonomic Society Dr Ben Wolfe

The power imbalance between the NCAA and student athletes is appalling. Changes are happening but they're slow and long overdue. nyti.ms/3f3nJvJ
