A cognitive map for value-guided choice in ventromedial prefrontal cortex biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

So so thrilled that my first first-author paper has now been published in Scientific Reports! I can’t thank enough the wonderful team who made this happen - Chris Gahnstrom Antoine Coutrot / moved to ciel bleu @hugospiers (and others not on X) 🙌🧠 shorturl.at/cgyA1 Scientific Reports

The Epstein Lab Penn is looking for new postdocs!!! NIH funded project to investigate spatial and nonspatial cognitive maps in humans. Collaboration with @NoraNewcombe. More info at the link (please RT): psych.upenn.edu/epsteinlab/ann…

📢Submissions for #CCN2024 are now open at ccneuro.org! 📢 We welcome submissions for 2-page papers (deadline: 12 April) and Generative Adversarial Collaborations (GACs), Keynote+Tutorials, and (new this year!) Community Events (deadline: 5 April).

Congratulations to our own Anna Shafer-Skelton, who just got the NOA for her F32 postdoc fellowship. GO ANNA!!!! (If you want to join Anna, and other brilliant and nice folks like Chris Gahnstrom, Linfeng (Tony) Han, and Nathan Kong, we still have positions available...)

Neural compass in the human brain during naturalistic virtual navigation biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Games can help us to understand the human mind, because they are intuitive and fun. In this Perspective, Allen et al. discuss the pros and cons of games over standard lab experiments. nature.com/articles/s4156…

⭐️ Postdoc in Cognitive Neuroscience & Computational Psychiatry ⭐️ Help us understand decision-making and learning, using behavioural experiments, computational modelling and direct recordings in neurosurgical patients health.au.dk/en/about-healt… Deadline August 16. Please RT!

What began as a slightly intoxicated walk on Huntington beach in California with my buddy @b_j_griffiths last summer, ended in a published paper today in Communications Psychology. (1/7)

✨ New (updated) preprint! ✨ We find that "Replay in human visual cortex is linked to the formation of successor representations and independent of consciousness"! 🧠 Fabulous team work with Lena Krippner, Dr. Christoph Koch & Nico Schuck! 🌟 🧵 👇 [1/5] biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share my new paper (with Prof Aman Saleem and @FabioRibRod): nature.com/articles/s4146… Interested in: - neural population dynamics? - neural correlations? - sub-second timescale neural encoding? - state-dependent sensory processing? 🧵and tl;dr👇

🚨I'm looking for a postdoc! The role will be focused on building computational models of learning and decision-making, and understanding the role of these processes in anxiety Get in touch if you want to know more! See job advert here for details: my.corehr.com/pls/kclrecruit…

I am recruiting graduate students! I'll review applications through both the Cognitive & Developmental areas. Interested students are encouraged to be in touch; I'd love to chat with you! Find out more: cogdevlab.org

🚨I am recruiting PhD students!🚨 (Please re-post this!) If you are interested in #spatialNavigation, #fMRI, #aging, #virtualReality, #AlzheimersDisease and more, please consider applying to work with me! IMPORTANT: Please email me prior to applying!

Thrilled to announce that I will be joining CiNet (Center for Information and Neural Networks; cinet.jp/english/) in Osaka Japan to start my lab in April/May 2025! We have postdoc positions (1 open NOW) & PhD apps (Osaka U) possible. Details below & pls retweet! Short 🧵 1/

Preprint for "Consolidation of Sequential Planning" with Evan Russek and Neil Burgess. We demonstrate the neural representations supporting sequential planning and the effect of memory consolidation upon them: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. As talk, see also: youtube.com/watch?v=0QcNtz…

“Where was I again?” Our study published today nature.com/articles/s4158… reveals brain cells can form a coordinate system for our behaviours. Instead of locating where we are in the world, this coordinate system tells us “where we are” in a sequence of behaviours: 🧵below:

New preprint with Dani S. Bassett and Nathaniel Daw! How do humans learn predictive representations? We propose a trial-by-trial learning rule that incorporates trace updating to learn the SR. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our new article w/affective.brain in Nature Human Behaviour. Key finding: consuming more negative content online is tied to poorer mental health—and vice versa. 💻🧠 Article link: doi.org/10.1038/s41562… 🧵 Read on for more insights from the study

Our lab is hiring a post doc! We are looking specifically for someone with machine learning research experience to contribute to funded simulation projects on learning and/or replay. Please share, and email me if you are interested!!
