A new research Article in the journal by Sherry Dongqi Bao and colleagues: www.nature.com/articles/s44... (in Press) @sherrydongqi.bsky.social @weijima.bsky.social

Congratulations to Sherry Dongqi Bao who has successfully defended her PhD Thesis: "Rational adaptation to noise and uncertainty: from representation to metacognitive control." We wish her all the best! 😀

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...

Happy to share my first first-author paper, new in Science Advances: Deciding for others alters metacognition leading to responsibility aversion www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #ScienceAdvancesResearch @zne-uzh.bsky.social @econ.uzh.ch

Deciding for others alters metacognition leading to responsibility aversion

Making decisions on behalf of other people reduces decision confidence, which leads to responsibility aversion.

How I contributed to rejecting one of my favorite papers of all times, Yes, I teach it to students daily, and refer to it in lots of papers. Sorry. open.substack.com/pub/kording/...

How I contributed to rejecting one of my favorite papers of all time

I believe we should talk about the mistakes we make.

📢 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...

Many neuroscience students are steeped in an experiment-first style of thinking that leads to “random walk science.” Let’s not forget how theory can guide experiments towards deeper insights, writes @gershbrain.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...

Alex Pouget and I wrote a perspective a few years ago on Major Sources of Computational Complexity in Complex Decision-Making 🧠. We never got around to publishing it, and so now uploaded it to OSF Preprints: doi.org/10.31219/osf.... I hope some of you might find it useful.

I found that as the number of starter packs increases, I want to be able to quickly search through them. Posting here for quick reference that you can also search all starter packs at blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

How predictable is neuroscience? Can LLMs outperform humans? Please participate in the BrainGPT.org survey to help us find out. You choose between two versions of a neuro abstract: the original vs. one with altered results. Which is which? research.sc/participant/... 1/2
