Come say hi if you are at #cpconf #cpconf2026!

📣Going to #cpconf? Come see @luiantaverra.bsky.social A2 Tue 9am, Bidirectional relationship between aversive beliefs + avoidance & its association with transdiagnostic symptoms @alexnitsch.bsky.social B43 Wed 3:15pm, The role of aversive replay in avoidance behaviors in psychiatric disorders

New preprint! How do threat beliefs drive avoidance & what happens when avoidance prevents us from verifying them? New work showing a bidirectional link between beliefs and avoidance! Lucky to work w @ondrejzika.bsky.social @nicoschuck.bsky.social @tobywise.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

💥New paper out! Why do some people generalise threat more than others? We show that anxious people generalise more strongly, even after accounting for perceptual mistakes. A huge (!) thanks to @ondrejzika.bsky.social @nicoschuck.bsky.social and @bernhardspitzer.bsky.social

Anxiety is associated with increased generalisation of threat to similar stimuli. This paper dissociates perceptual mistakes from value generalisation and links stronger value-transfer to trait anxiety. @nicoschuck.bsky.social @ondrejzika.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Check out the latest from Sam HallMcMaster on the role of entorhinal cortex in factorizing representations and generalization

#JNeurosci: Results from Hall-McMaster, @nicoschuck.bsky.social, @gershbrain.bsky.social et al suggest the entorhinal cortex might highlight aspects of past experiences that can be generalized, allowing us to make effective decisions in new environments https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1492-25.2025

📘🧠💥@fabianrenz.bsky.social , @nicoschuck.bsky.social & I thought about methods to measure brain plasticity and wrote an overview of exciting new methods and developments! Read our chapter, out now in The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Enhancement and Brain Plasticity academic.oup.com/edited-volum...

Looking for a PhD or Postdoc position? I can only recommend working with @ondrejzika.bsky.social

🚨 I am over the moon 🌓 to announce that I am joining University College Dublin @ucddublin.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor this fall to start the Uncertain Mind (UMI) lab 💫 I am looking for PhD/Postdoc candidates to join (more below 👇 ). Please RT as the deadline is pretty soon 🙏

If you are at #CCN2025, go say hi to @nirmoneta.bsky.social

nirmoneta.bsky.social@nirmoneta.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Attending #CCN2025? Come check out our poster tomorrow (Tuesday, A90) on how reward morphs neural representations of non-spatial cognitive maps in the hippocampus. Work w. @luiantaverra.bsky.social, Alex Nitsch, @thecharleywu.bsky.social, @doellerlab.bsky.social & @nicoschuck.bsky.social

Entorhinal cortex signals dimensions of past experience that can be generalised in a novel environment https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.01.668096v1

Are you coming to @rldmdublin2025.bsky.social #RLDM2025? Join our workshop on Gamification in Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience with an amazing speaker lineup! 🎮👾🧠💫 w/ @ondrejzika.bsky.social @ingrdmrtn.bsky.social

It’s a Preprint! 👋 We show how we can dissociate perceptual from value-based mechanisms of generalisation + that stronger gen. in anxiety is associated with value rather than perception. w/ @ondrejzika.bsky.social @nicoschuck.bsky.social @bernhardspitzer.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/n
