Our paper revealing the evolutionary origins of metacognition-driven human intelligence in the macaque brain is just out in Nature Human Behaviour rdcu.be/fji6p
My last game was frequentist. This one's Bayesian.
In BATTLE BAYES you're M₀, the intercept-only null model — fed up with being rejected. Collect evidence, INTERCEPT your rivals' excess θ, get SELECTED.
Yes, the button name is a pun.

How do brains plan actions towards goals?
To get at this question we studied mice navigating complex mazes as goals changed on every trial 🧵

If your advisor sends you an unclear email, do you interpret it as good or bad? 😏😱
In a new paper, we show how people make inferences about this type of ambiguous feedback during learning.

Our book is officially out and there is even an audiobook version! Unfortunately, it’s not narrated by us, so you’ll miss out on our lovely Italian/French accents (a tragic loss for audiobook history).
Apparently, Amazon.fr has only three copies left: THANK YOU!

🚨 New preprint w/ Valerio Rubino and Peter Dayan: how do people discover and use compositional structure under constraints? osf.io/preprints/ps...
A key factor is a simple heuristic that favors reuse of repeated and symmetric fragments across scales, is robust to time pressure, and sped up RTs 🧵👇
New preprint! How do threat beliefs drive avoidance & what happens when avoidance prevents us from verifying them?
New work showing a bidirectional link between beliefs and avoidance! Lucky to work w @ondrejzika.bsky.social @nicoschuck.bsky.social @tobywise.bsky.social

🧠 How do we learn about ourselves and others?
Join us at #PuG2026 on Thursday at 8:30 (HS 13) for our symposium "Neuro-computational Models of Social Learning About the Self and Others".

We tend to interpret feedback in ways that confirm our pre-existing beliefs. Such confirmatory tendencies are often viewed as cognitive flaws, but mig…
