! Job alert !. Our postdoc position at the UCL Learning Memory & Decision lab is open for applications! Please see the ad here: The ad currently closes on January 2nd. Experts in memory or decision-making, please apply. See thread below. Please share!
Postdoc job alert! We have an opening in our growing group. The research will focus on neuroimaging of memory and goal-directed decision-making, with 🧠decoding of representations with MEG (+ RL, mood, and computational psychiatry). @ the exciting @MPC_CompPsych @WCHN_UCL

@MPC_CompPsych @WCHN_UCL Please share! . Neuroimaging expertise would be great. We seek postdocs with a range of experience, including those with existing post-doc work. See the lab webpage here . (Posting here on ex-Twitter because bluesky isn't yet publicly open.).

Very interesting work showing quite low test-retest reliability in a very common reward learning task, with relevance for computational psychiatry. It suggests, as other research has hinted, that feedback learning tasks – with rapid & massed repetitions – may not be useful.
