Just back from neuroMONSTER 2026 in Rome 🧠 4 days of neuroscience, cognitive science, maths & AI. New people, good ideas, lots of inspiration and I got to present my City2 work. Thanks to the Center for Humanities Computing & Aarhus University. Already looking forward to next year!

some Bayesian cognitive modeling students are having trouble seeing the industry-relevance of the methods (my worked out examples are research based, since it's what I do). Tips for good industry examples? @ajordannafa.com @natehaines.bsky.social @rmcelreath.bsky.social @avehtari.bsky.social

First time in Leiden, and my first academic talk at @ehbea2026.bsky.social. Grateful to @ehbea.bsky.social for the Student Travel Grant and for a conference and community that was genuinely welcoming 🧵
The Unfolding World: Causal & physical cognition in humans and other animals 🐦⬛ This workshop brings together experts from animal cognition, developmental psychology, computational modelling, and philosophy to investigate 24-25 April 2026 Alison Richard Building, CB3 9DP https://bit.ly/4by8cCM
Great talk by @jingyux.bsky.social bringing the collective behaviour vibe to #ehbea2026 ! Stay tuned to her beky account for the upcoming preprints on her talk on social learning + social networks
Le jeudi, j'anime un workshop NLP pour les sciences sociales. Des travaux en cours, du code, des manières de faire. Ambiance garage. C'est en visio. Voilà le programme et il y a un lien pour s'abonner à la mailing list. acss-dig.psl.eu/fr/seminaire...

Not something you see in textbooks very often: tripolar mitosis.
CogSci in Aarhus is hiring, open rank (assi, asso or full prof). We want somebody working on and teaching computational modelling of cognitive processes and/or social processes. Students are amazing, work/life balance very satisfactory, and colleagues are nice! international.au.dk/about/profil...

Are there ways to fit agent-based models (ABMs) to empirical data and compare models, as we do in computational (cognitive) neuroscience?
Last week, I was in #Trondheim at Norwegian University of Science and Technology for the #Probabilistic AI School (ProbAI) summer school. It was a fantastic experience
I will be in Trondheim until June 20th for the probAI summer school. If you are interested in computational/cognitive science, free to reach out.
✨We are organising (again) an online workshop on Theoretical Modeling for PhD candidates and Master students in cognitive science and psychology. Check out the website and the schedule: Registration is open! (closes July 1, spaces are limited) 🧵1/n computationalcognitivescience.github.io/workshop/
I’ll be in Paris next week and would love to connect with people in cognitive science, AI, or photography :)
What are some equations or modeling approaches that are from different communities and are applied to different phenomena but you find them similar, the same, or very similar? Example: a paper showed how replicator dynamics in evolutionary models are somewhat isomorphic with Bayes equations.
We're hiring an assistant professor at the intersection btw cognitive modeling of language / social interaction, computational ling / lang technologies. Exciting environment / great work-life balance / amazing students. international.au.dk/about/profil... Get in touch if interested!

If you could recommend a book or article from your discipline/specialty in cognitive science, artificial intelligence, or evolutionary anthropology for 2024 trends, what would it be? Looking forward to your suggestions!
