Fantastic results for @mkwittmann and @cormacdbskysocial on their work supported by Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry and Ageing Research and COMP2PSYCH!!
New paper from our lab now in @Nature . We show that our brains use basis functions or "building blocks" to navigate social interactions. Rather than tracking every individual separately, social information is compressed into patterns that can be flexibly combined.

We have an opening for a PhD Position in the project 'ContextualEYEze', addressing the role of gaze in communication. Deadline for applications is January 20th, don't hesitate to contact me with questions. Looking forward!

Funded PhD (UK students only). Interested in a PhD working in @MSNlab, co-supervised by @froemero1? Topic is flexible around themes of motivation and decision-making, using techniques such as computational modelling, brain imaging, or brain stimulation. tinyurl.com/543ucffd

Neural networks need a dorsal stream to learn structure in natural scenes! really proud of this work led by @tsonj
How does the brain represent the structure of visual scenes independent of their contents? In “Zero-shot counting with a dual-stream neural network model” (@NeuroCellPress), we propose a model based on the parallel pathways of the primate visual system. shorturl.at/Zp5EA

Check out our new paper on self-other distinction led by @EPronizius 👏🏼🤩
🚨 We've all been there—feeling sad & assuming everyone else feels the same or struggling to figure out if our beliefs align with those around us. This ability to distinguish between self & others (SOD) is a vital skill for navigating social interactions. doi.org/10.1098/rsos.240662

✨Rethinking reinforcement learning: the interoceptive origins of reward
doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/be6n…
An honour and *absolute delight* bouncing ideas with these brilliant women: @debyeeneuro @danamsmall @rikepetzschner
What are primary reward signals and where do they come from?

Two faculty positions at RIKEN CBS are open. CBS is one of the most exciting and ideal places for neuroscience researchers worldwide! MRI and 2P microscopy are available for NHP experiments. I hope some of you are willing to work with us at CBS!

📰 New preprint!
We show using computational modelling that transdiagnostic compulsivity is associated with greater uncertainty about learned task structure
This work was led by Siri Sookud, starting during her MSc

Long overdue #tweeprint: ✨The generalised hierarchical Gaussian filter✨
Ever wanted to build your own hierarchical Bayesian learning model without deriving/implementing new equations? Ever wondered how the HGF relates to predictive coding?
