! Job alert ! Our postdoc position at the UCL Learning Memory & Decision lab is open for applications! Please see the ad here: https://t.co/hgR6Meje1l 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

We’ve all heard of place cells: neurons that form a “cognitive map” representing the structure of the outside world. But what about our own structured behaviours? We took a deep mechanistic dive, out now on @biorxivpreprint : https://t.co/aguPskE1vm 🧵below:

To flexibly adapt to new situations, our brains must understand the regularities in the world, but also in our own patterns of behaviour. A wealth of findings is beginning to reveal the algorithms we...

@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 https://t.co/J7cAbfDz4G (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.

🌟New paper online in @TrendsCognSci with @angelaradulescu & Kara Emery 🌟 We review work taking an approach we refer to as "naturalistic reinforcement learning", which uses more naturalistic approaches to study learning and decision-making. https://t.co/AGoK610xl5

In a NEW PAPER out today @NatureHumBehav we show that some of the most popular strategies for increasing happiness are not well-supported by rigorous scientific evidence. A thread.
Some of the most commonly recommended happiness-increasing strategies in the media, such as mindfulness and exercise, have a weak basis of scientific evidence, suggests a systematic review published in @NatureHumBehav. https://t.co/6nEmtDjWvt

Slowly shutting things down here. It’s longer possible to ignore the new FKA twitter regime. Likely landing on Threads (@elliott_wimmer@threads.net) or Bluesky (@elliottwimmer.bsky.social). See you all there, or somewhere!

[preprint alert 🚨 link below] How do we search for elements within a cognitive map? How does the brain perform search, are elements reactivated in sequence or simultaneously? We set out to answer this question using MEG and decoding. https://t.co/m7clEUG1H4 (1/7)

Declarative memory retrieval is thought to involve reinstatement of neuronal activity patterns elicited and encoded during a prior learning episode. Furthermore, it is suggested that two mechanisms...
