This is one of the most exciting pieces of science I have had the privilege to be involved in, led by @rui-xu.bsky.social, Bob Desimone, and Mark Richardson: the discovery of actual long-range monosynaptic connections in the human brain! For example the FFA connects to the rTPJ, how cool is that?
New PhD studentship available! Come join the excellent @neuromurphy.bsky.social lab for a very cool project exploring how the brain learns to make decisions that are not tied to specific sensory modalities or movements. In collaboration with @seanfw.bsky.social and myself!

1/11 Happy to share our TICS paper on using the flexibility of one of the most basic cognitive functions, perception, to understand one of the most complex cognitive dysfunctions, psychiatric conditions (also my first formal work in computational psychiatry 🎉)

And a nice summary by Richard Antonello can be found here: elifesciences.org/articles/111...
Tony is 100% right. This can't be said often enough.
“Researchers looked at two high-profile AI agent tools developed to help computer scientists in the field of machine learning. Both systems engaged in acts that violate research integrity, including making up data & p-hacking: running an experiment multiple times but only reporting best outcome.”

Apparent neural encoding of future words may arise from the statistical structure of language itself, rather than from predictive computations in the brain.
✅Funded PhD studentship in computational modelling of supra-modal evidence accumulation/decision-making!
⏰ Closing date: 1st July 2026!

Perceptual multistability, observed across species and sensory modalities, offers
valuable insights into numerous cognitive functions and dysfunctions. For instance,
differences in temporal dynamics a...
So pleased that our paper on empowerment and causal models is out and freely available as part of this impressive special issue on world models and AI, with Melanie Mitchell, Josh Tenenbaum, Tom Griffiths and many other stars.

What does it mean for cognition to be Bayesian?
The view that cognition is Bayesian inference is often intended at Marr's computational level. In a new paper in Nat Rev Psych, @kaixue98.bsky.social and I formulate the "explicit-Bayes" hypothesis that lives at the algorithmic level.

Two high-profile tools have been shown to make up data and “p-hack” their results
What do we look for when searching for objects in our daily-life environments? Very happy that I can now share this review, together with @suryagayet.bsky.social , @predictivebrain.bsky.social and @peelen.bsky.social🥳
A brief thread below!
