Very excited to share our new work (my first @arxiv-cs-ai.bsky.social!) We compared mentalising abilities across human and LLMs across two games and models. We thought the field'd re-embrace the interdisciplinarity of cognitive science. Curious? Read here! 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2608.26291

My PhD student @veronikawendler.bsky.social has given a lot of thoughts of how to best use computational approaches from social neuroscience to inspire environmental neuroscience. Thank also all the collaborators on this. 👇 Take a look! 👇 lnkd.in/eZjV8KFB

Happy to share our new preprint, "Modeling Environmental Behavior: Lessons from Social Computational Neuroscience". A big thank you to my co-authors @annesaulin.bsky.social, @tony-craig.bsky.social, Caroline Moraes, Yansong Li, Chunliang Feng, and @lei-zhang.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

Just had an open and honest session on career pathways behind the CV!
