How do effortful strategies become automatic metacognitive skills? Join our next Gearshift Spotlight with Brendan Conway-Smith on **Metacognitive Skill Learning in Humans and Artificial Agents.** 📅 July 21, 12 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. CEST 💻 Online 👇 #AdaptiveIntelligence #Agency #MetaControl

Research programs, like rivers, take shape from many tributaries. Delighted to share the launch of the #NAIADEL Lab at UArizona - studying mechanisms of adaptive intelligence & agency across neural, computational, & social systems. Recruiting across all levels👇 The confluence is just beginning 🌊

Next #GearshiftSpotlightConversation this Tuesday 🔥👇 with Max Brandenburg on adaptive self-reflection and psychoeducational AI. At the intersection of computational thinking, psychology, metacognition, and reflective systems. Link: meet.google.com/ygi-gfda-afu

Reminder that the first Gearshift Spotlight Conversation is happening this Tuesday (May 26). 👇 Very excited to speak with Felix Moser about adaptive systems, embodied AI, cognitive interventions, and broader questions around agency + human-AI interaction. #Agency #AdaptiveIntelligence #AI

The #GearshiftSpotlightSeries build bridges across Neuroscience & AgenticAI to ask: 1) How do humans/agents adapt under changing environments & control? 2) How to build adaptive systems supporting richer human-AI interaction? Open to all: lnkd.in/exqmH9Fs #Agency #AdaptiveIntelligence #NeuroAI

It feels like online spaces for science and AI are still missing a crucial layer: real human adaptation. Most sites are either siloed, purely technical, or static, failing to help us make meaning or cultivate agency in the face of complexity. We’re reimagining this👇

Building adaptive agents, runtime architectures, and next-generation experimental systems for computational psychiatry + AI. 🔥🤖 The GearshiftFellowship Team seeks a technically ambitious Summer Research Engineer Intern. Systems builders encouraged. #AdaptiveIntelligence #Agency

What if agency isn’t a fixed trait or a single computation - but an emergent property of how we learn to act under changing constraints? At SOBP in NYC this week! Would love to connect. 😇🔥 #SOBP2026 #AdaptiveIntelligence #Agency #ComputationalPsychiatry

👇🧠Avoidance is context-specific, shaped by inferred control and feedback reliability. We introduce a persistence-escape paradigm and a model where agency acts as a gating signal, emerging from meta-control over cognitive-affective signals. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #AdaptiveIntelligence

Resilience under threat may depend on what is built before it. We find that #agency accumulated in „failure-safe“ contexts linked to: • reduced #escape under threat • adaptive responses when control is lost New paradigm + MACA-Q model make agency measurable (preprint soon). #AdaptiveIntelligence

Why can similar avoidance behavior emerge from distinct processes? In a new paradigm & RL-meta-control model, agency emerges as dynamic quantity 👉same avoidance arises from distinct latent trajectories, with distinct adaptive behavior across contexts. Avoidance depends on context. More to come soon!

Excited to join Thinking About Thinking as Ambassador 2026. I study how humans adapt and maintain agency and build systems that do the same.🔥 Bridging computational neuroscience × agentic AI × adaptive intelligence. Looking to connect with others working on systems that learn how to learn. 🧠🤖

Honored to be selected by @ACNP and @SfNtweets as an Advocacy Ambassador for the 2026 SfN Hill Day, engaging policymakers on neuroscience and computational psychiatry, and the importance of sustained NIH/NSF research funding. 🧠👩‍🏫🔬 #ScienceAdvocacy #Neuroscience #ComputationalPsychiatry

Still riding the energy from an amazing ACNP meeting 🌊 #ACNP2026 So grateful for the Travel Award, a fantastic symposium, and the chance to meet so many thoughtful, inspiring people while discussing the frontiers of neuropsychopharmacology. Thank you, ACNP 💙

Please help spread the word on this, especially to those who may be feeling cold winds towards their research. We’ve opened the call for our International Fellowships, enabling early career researchers to work for two years at a UK research institution www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/sche...

We’re bringing computational psychiatry to #ACNP2026 Our panel shows how RL, DDMs, active inference, and neural models can unpack symptom heterogeneity across anxiety, psychosis, ADHD, depression, and suicide risk-moving beyond diagnoses to mechanisms. @acnporg.bsky.social #ComputationalPsychiatry

Thank you ACNP @npp-journal.bsky.social for this recognition! 😇🙏 This #transdiagnostic work with Gearshift Fellowship aims to move beyond static tasks toward dynamic, mechanistic understanding of how people regain agency when control is uncertain and rules change. Super excited for #ACNP2026.
