Happy to announce that my lab @ Yale Psychology ( https://t.co/kPvm1iBi9S) will be accepting PhD apps this year (for start in Fall '26)! Come for fun experiments on human learning, memory, & skilled behavior, stay for the best 🍕 in the US. Please reach out w/ any questions!

Thrilled to see our TinyRNN paper in @nature! We show how tiny RNNs predict choices of individual subjects accurately while staying fully interpretable. This approach can transform how we model cognitive processes in both healthy and disordered decisions.

Excited to see our Centaur project out in @Nature. TL;DR: Centaur is a computational model that predicts and simulates human behavior for any experiment described in natural language.

New short-form preprint in which we use Centaur to identify gaps in interpretable cognitive models and revise them accordingly using Qwen3 -- fully automated and without a human-in-the-loop. https://t.co/z1GoaGNFWT

We introduce automated scientific minimization of regret (ASMR) -- a framework for automated computational cognitive science. Building on the principles of scientific regret minimization, ASMR...

Our paper is now out in Nature Human Behaviour! 🎉 We use games from behavioural economics to explore how LLMs behave in repeated social interactions, revealing both self-interested strengths and coordination blind spots, and propose strategies to improve AI-human collaboration.
What happens when Large Language models play repeated economic games? This new study from @elifakata et al investigates across a range of models and games. @cpilab

We are looking for two PhD students at our institute in Munich. Both postions are open-topic, so anything between cognitive science and machine learning is possible. More information: https://t.co/wBE0mau7p3 Feel free to share broadly!

@JenniferSenta @Anne_On_Tw Second preprint (with @Anne_On_Tw and Sonia Bishop) explores different anxiety-related deficits in RL and working memory: https://t.co/Apl4UVTywc

Anxiety has been robustly linked to deficits in frontal executive function including working memory (WM) and attentional control processes. However, although anxiety has also been associated with...

Not one, but TWO cool preprints by @JenniferSenta! First preprint (with @Anne_On_Tw, Peter Dayan and Sonia Bishop) has a really cool use of modeling aimed at dissociating mechanisms underlying depression and anxiety-related phenotypes: https://t.co/MoYvzbQN9g

The protest movement in Serbia is remarkably leaderless. Serbian students are the driving force behind the protests, but there is not a single name that could be clearly associated with leading the protests. A thread on Serbia. ⬇️

We are currently building the largest, cross-domain data set of human behavior as part of an open collaborative project. Contributions of any form are welcome, but especially experiments with meta-data from developmental, cross-cultural, or clinical studies.

Centaur now has its own webpage ( https://t.co/a6Rzo2KcfO) where we answer some frequently asked questions. Importantly, we have trained a small version of the model that can be used for quick prototyping: https://t.co/oyCQqyfsLo Logo credits to @milenamr7

My company emailed everyone a 20 dollar voucher and I clicked the link to claim it and it turns out it was a phishing test put out by IT😔 I have to do mandatory training now 💀

Excited to announce Centaur -- the first foundation model of human cognition. Centaur can predict and simulate human behavior in any experiment expressible in natural language. You can readily download the model from @huggingface and test it yourself:

So proud of this work and what we've accomplished analyzing this gigantic data set!
Preprint alert! After 4 years, I’m super excited to share work with @TheCharleyWu @gershbrain @cpilab on the rise and fall of technological development in virtual communities in #OneHourOneLife #ohol 🧵👇 https://t.co/ONVhciKCAi
