What are your neuroAI paper highlights for this year? Am preparing an end-of-year state-of-the-field post

Systematic review of prediction models in psychiatry finds that nearly all are at risk for bias, and only 20% do external validation. Only a single 1 out of 228 investigated formal assessment for clinical utility. nature.com/articles/s4138…

What great prospects by Denny Borsboom! An interesting conjunction with our article just accepted (coming soon!) after 2 years of work, to make this idea concrete: we propose the (first) model of a psychiatric disorder based on dynamic systems (like in meteorology 🌥️) ⬇️

🚨 I’m looking for a postdoc! 🚨 This post will be focused on building computational models of pathological worry, and you’ll be able to develop skills in computational psychiatry and neuroimaging 🧠 ✉️Feel free to get in touch with any questions! jobs.kcl.ac.uk/gb/en/job/0609…

I don't think Reward Is Enough, and I explained why and what to do about it to the lovely Active Inference Institute institute, check it out! Many people started following me bc of a paper I put out called Reward is Not Necessary, this is a partial summary of it. youtube.com/watch?v=Fh1e4s…

If only cosmetic pseudo-historical introductions were not a thing

Reward-is-enough assumes that every ancillary feature of intelligence operates *in the service of* reward-maximization. No! Reward is a theoretical stopgap to generate behavior when you can't explain why something is valuable. Creative justification is often the impetus to act.

Ever wondered how many symptoms make up all of adult psychopathology described in the DSM-5? It’s 628! How many do you think repeat across multiple diagnoses? If you answered 231 symptoms repeating a total of 1022 times (median 3 times per symptom, range 2-22), good job! 🧵
