How does the brain decide which mental strategy to use when inferring others' beliefs? Excited to (finally!) see my first first-author paper out @natneuro.nature.com Summary below 🧵 #CogSci #CogNeuro www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢 New preprint! 📢 Very excited to be a part of the project led by @saurabhbedi.bsky.social on how the brain learns from multimodal inputs (e.g. audiovisual): Separable neurocomputational mechanisms underlying multisensory learning biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📢 Preprint out! biorxiv.org/content/10.1... What gives rise to probability weighting, a cornerstone of Prospect Theory? We show it comes from the natural boundedness of probabilities + cognitive noise. Adding boundaries adds multiple distortions, across risky choice & perception.

Probability weighting arises from boundary repulsions of cognitive noise

In both risky choice and perception, people overweight small and underweight large probabilities. While prospect theory models this with a probability weighting function, and Bayesian noisy coding mod...
