The rebellions continue!
The publisher Springer put pressure on a journal's editors to accept more papers, just to make more money. The editors resigned and started their own journal, which is peer reviewed and 'diamond open access'. That means FREE to publish in and FREE to read!

The Open Library of Humanities is pleased to announce the launch of a new diamond open access journal in linguistics, following the resignation of the editorial team of Natural Language …
New peer-reviewed paper w/ @mheilbron.bsky.social, @predictivebrain.bsky.social & Jakub Szewczyk!
Pre-onset brain encoding has been taken as evidence that brains–like LLMs–predict upcoming words. We show that the same signatures arise in systems that cannot predict. (elifesciences.org) (1/8)

What if the relationship between smartphone use and mental health depends not just on specific harmful or beneficial activities, but also on how users transition between activities?
@summerfieldlab.bsky.social and I are very happy to share this paper! Building on work by @scychan.bsky.social, we show that how people learn depends on the distribution of examples they see, and changes in a way that’s very similar to transformer models.
***4-year Career Development Research Fellowship in Psychology now available at Oxford!***

Attention fluctuates over time and across contexts—how is this reflected in the brain?🧠 Fitting a dynamical systems model to fMRI data, we show that the geometry of neural dynamics along the attractor landscape reflects changes in attention. Out in @natcomms.nature.com

How do the basal ganglia turn what you see into what you do?
New preprint w/ @kenneth-harris.bsky.social, @flickerfusion.bsky.social & @carandinilab.net: we recorded across striatum, GPe & SNr in a Go/NoGo task. Striatum encodes which stimulus, GPe & SNr encode action. 🧵

In this Article, @jacquespesnot.bsky.social and @summerfieldlab.bsky.social compare humans to
transformer networks in a task designed to distinguish "in-weights" and "in-context" learning processes.
