BREAKING: Congratulations to PNI professor emeritus John Hopfield, who was awarded the 2024 The Nobel Prize in Physics, alongside University of Toronto's Geoffrey Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks” pni.princeton.edu/news/2024/pnis…

Congratulations to Professor Geoffrey E. Hinton Geoffrey Hinton, the founding director of Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit UCL Faculty of Life Sciences, who has today been awarded the #NobelPrize in Physics for his pioneering work enabling machine learning ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/oct/…

Congratulations to my Ph.D. advisor Eero Simoncelli for winning the 2024 Swartz Prize in Computational and Theoretical Neuroscience!! (awarded at SFN last week!) A richly deserved honor! 🎉🎉🎉 simonsfoundation.org/2024/09/16/ccn…

Shoutout to our phenomenal postbac Clara Haeffner for her presentation on choice stochasticity and cognitive imprecision across value tasks, with Miguel Barretto García 🏳️‍🌈🧠🎭 and Cate Hartley #SNE2024

Our paper on longitudinal stability in the representation of decision variables is out

So excited for my second poetry pamphlet, SYMMETRIC OF BONE, releasing 18th of November with the wonderful people at fourteenpoems! Poems about queerness and urban life in proximity to the jewellery of Elsa Peretti x Pre-order now on the link below! fourteenpoems.com/shop/symmetric…

Finally! This is the version of record; it's also the version to read, thanks to the review process at eLife. The finding was out of reach before macaque Neuropixels. eLife - the journal: Direct observation of the neural computations underlying a single decision doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Wrapping up the 2024 edition of the Zurich Workshop in Economics and Psychology. Thanks a lot to everyone for making this such an amazing event! See you next year! Economics at Zurich Colin Camerer Marta Serra Christine Laudenbach rani_spiegler Chiara Aina Moses Shayo Corinne Low Ronak Jain

(1/5) Very excited to announce the publication of Bayesian Models of Cognition: Reverse Engineering the Mind. More than a decade in the making, it's a big (600+ pages) beautiful book covering both the basics and recent work: mitpress.mit.edu/9780262049412/…

🚨 Hi #EconTwitter! I’m on the #EconJobMarket, and I’m excited to share my #JMP on “Costly Job Search with Inattentive Workers”. 🙋🏻‍♀️ How does workers' limited attention shape their job search behaviours? And critically, what does this mean for labour market efficiency? 🧵👇

🎉🎉Thrilled to announce that Thomas Graeber will join our department in June 2025 as an Associate Professor of Cognitive and Neuroeconomics. His research focuses on behavioral and experimental economics. He is currently an Assistant Professor at Harvard Business School. Looking forward to

In our new Communications Psychology review, we explore how humans adjust learning to different types of uncertainty, why biases arise, and what this reveals about learning and psychiatric conditions. 📖 Read more: nature.com/articles/s4427… With Nassar Lab & Hauke Heekeren

Not all noise is the same! Excited to be a part of this fantastic new work from Bo Shen using modeling and choice experiments to show differential effects of early versus late noise on decision making. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Preprint alert 🚨! Excited to share our new work on metacognition in value-based decision-making. We ask whether it is possible to derive a computational measure of metacognitive ability for economic preference choices. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is difficult to do because economic choices do not have an objectively correct answer. However, by combining utility models and the CASANDRE confidence model we can characterize metacognitive ability for these decisions in the same way we probe it for perceptual choices.
