🚨 Apply for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship to work on computational models of planning, meta-control, and how they can be used to explain patterns of anxiety. Opportunities to use cutting edge OPM-MEG to study their neural implementation. Competitive funding generously

Please do share and repost this PhD opportunity! It's a great opportunity to use computational methods to help elucidate the mechanisms of psychedelics... 🫶

Clinical trials reveal that some antidepressants are over 100% more effective than placebo, while others barely outperform it. The largest meta-analysis (Cipriani et al., 2018) compared 21 antidepressants in 116,477 patients, revealing striking differences in efficacy and

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is not just “severe" Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). It affects 3–8% of women, leading to debilitating mood, cognitive, and physical symptoms due to altered neurosteroid sensitivity (Eisenlohr-Moul et al., 2017). Here’s how neurosteroids

Coded a toy Pong agent using Active Inference 🤖. Paddle doesn’t track the ball—it infers position/velocity via online free energy minimisation (Variational Laplace) & chooses actions by rolling out expected surprise. Green = belief 🧠 | Ball = true state ⚾📍 #AI #NeuroAI

Testing an Active Inference agent in a 3D drone navigation task — it infers its own position and velocity from noisy observations, and selects actions by rolling out belief-based trajectories and minimizing expected free energy. #ActiveInference #BayesianLearning #AI #AGI
