Join us next week for our free virtual ACNS webinar presented by @clairegillan.bsky.social. Prof. Gillan will explore emerging research on the role of habits in compulsive disorders, challenging traditional models centred on cognitive control. 📅 Thurs, 18 June 16:00 AEST 🔗 tinyurl.com/kpcrsm4m
📄NEW PAPER📄 Dopamine underpins both effort💪 and reward learning⭐. Here, we show it also supports their interaction! w A Huynh, D Obawede, J Coxon @coxon.bsky.social, M Bellgrove, and T Chong @trevorchong.bsky.social #dopamine #learning #effort @plosbiology.org journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... 1/5
Dopamine is implicated in effort & reward #learning, but how do these interact? @huwjarvis.net @trevorchong.bsky.social &co show that #dopamine supports the relationship between effort & learning, revealing how we learn from the consequences of our actions @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/41FqSdX
ACNS president A/P Trevor Chong kicking off the #ACNS2025 conference. Remember to get your magics ☕️
Fantastic poster session this morning. Posters will be up all day on level 2 so go check them out

My paper is out! Computational modeling of error patterns during reward-based learning show evidence that habit learning (value free!) supplements working memory in 7 human data sets. rdcu.be/eQjLN
A habit and working memory model as an alternative account of human reward-based learning
Nature Human Behaviour - In this study, Collins proposes an alternative dual-process (working memory and habit) model of reinforcement learning in humans.

In Melbourne for Australasian Cognitive Neuroscience Society meeting! Very happy to visit again after 30 years! @acnsau.bsky.social
Looking forward to presenting our new "two sheet" cortico-hippocampal neural field and neural mass models

A report on our New Study: Don’t think of a Pink Elephant! Aphants, and people with low vividness imagery, may be resistant to intrusive visualisations! #Aphantasia #Imagery @sampendu.bsky.social theconversation.com/the-pink-ele...
The pink elephant test: what your visual imagination predicts about your ability to control your thoughts
Research shows people with more vivid visual imaginations may also be more prone to certain kinds of intrusive thoughts.

It was a pleasure presenting some of my work today on dopaminergic modulation of vigour and mood in PD at #ACNS2024 @acnsau.bsky.social in sunny Newcastle! 🧠☀️
#ACNS2024 Outstanding Service awards go to Sharna Jamadar and Hannah Keage. Thank you both for your hard work to build up our community! @sharnajamadar.bsky.social @trevorchong.bsky.social
It was a pleasure to present my latest work, an evidence-based neuronal framework for tDCS at #ACNS2024, thanks to @acnsau.bsky.social, @trevorchong.bsky.social, and the organizing team for putting on such a great conference. I look forward to the rest! #academia #conference #neuromodulation #tDCS
Navyaan Siddiqui presenting our latest #ParentalBrain research @acnsau.bsky.social. This was Nav’s first conference presentation and he smashed it 🤩 - with @kperrykkad.bsky.social @trevorchong.bsky.social #MonashPsych #MonashBiomedicalImaging
Happy to share that my PhD ‘Computational mechanisms underlying effort and reward valuation in the human brain’ passed @monashuniversity.bsky.social Huge thanks to @trevorchong.bsky.social constant support and mentorship, with crucial assists from Mark Bellgrove and @robbrutledge.bsky.social 🧠🥳🍾🙏
Is perceptual novelty important in your research? We created, standardised, and validated a database of truly novel perceptual stimuli (matched to BOSS objects on size, contrast, luminance & colourfulness) so you don't have to! www.nature.com/articles/s41... #cogpsy #psychology #EEG #neuroskyence
