Congratulations Jasper. Many more to come ✌️🙌
🥳 Super excited that today the first paper of my PhD has been published in @royalsociety.org: doi.org/10.1098/rsos... Can learning from rewards and punishments change how people approach (or avoid) in-group vs. out-group members? Read the thread below! 🧵 1/6
Had a great time attending the Birmingham-Leiden Computational Social Cognition Summer School this week! Thanks to everyone who was part of #CSC2025 and especially to @drjocutler.bsky.social & @lei-zhang.bsky.social for leading the organization! 10/10 would recommend! More info on www.compsoccog.com
#Day3 #CSC2025 Last day. Fantastic tutorial on bayesian modeling by @lei-zhang.bsky.social. Lectures on basis functions for social decisions @mkwittmann.bsky.social and social learning mechanisms. We presented our group work on empathy RL, thanks to @annesaulin.bsky.social for her mentorship. 🤗
#Day2 #CSC2025 keynote on on modelling prejudices in social interactions by @davidamodio.bsky.social followed by a comprehensive tutorial on drifting diffusion modelling. 📊 Day ended with a walking tour of the city ✌️
Kicking off! Day0, Poster Presentations at Computational Social Cognition Summer school at @thechbh.bsky.social @unibirmingham.bsky.social.
Stumbled upon this file today. Over 9 months, I made several PhD applications, successful in 2, but secured funding in 1. Things have changed a lot since. It required a lot of discipline to curate an application, knowing that you're competing against the world that too immense social pressure.
We are hiring for several research positions for this grant, starting early next year. Please reach out if you're interested! More details on the jobs here: devcompsy.org/wp-content/u...
