To be fair, I probably would have used AI during my PhD if it could calibrate the eye link and run all my participants for me.
On May 27th 2026, @ingaibs.bsky.social defended her PhD thesis 'Cognitive strategies and explanations for sequential decision-making: a task-centric approach' with distinction. Congratulations! Beautiful and super careful contributions to computationally categorizing problem-solving tasks in the 1/3
„Der meiste Schaden, den der Computer potenziell zur Folge haben könnte, hängt weniger davon ab, was der Computer tatsächlich kann oder nicht kann, als vielmehr von den Eigenschaften, die das Publikum dem Computer zuschreibt.“ - Weizenbaum, "Albtraum Computer"
I‘m looking for postdoc candidates in computer vision and control theory (2 positions). Get in touch if you’re interested.

I am presenting our work this week at #NCMKobe26 @ncmsociety.bsky.social
Our poster is during the Thursday/Friday session: **P2-G-182** - _A computational account of tactile suppression during reaching movements_

Artificial intelligence systems will allow a single PhD student’s output to match that of a whole laboratory, according to Demis Hassabis, a Nobel laureate for chemistry.

Studierende sollen mehr arbeiten – findet Dorothee Bär. Sie habe schließlich auch gejobbt. Aber wie war das noch mal genau?

LLMs Corrupt Your Documents When You Delegate (Laban et al., 2026)

"[E]ven frontier models (Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude 4.6 Opus, GPT 5.4) corrupt an average of 25% of document content by the end of long workflows, with other models failing more severely"
Why is touch perceived as weaker during movement?
In our new preprint 📝, we examine tactile suppression during reaching.
Using optimal control theory, we show that tactile suppression reflects dynamic, uncertainty-dependent integration of forward model predictions and sensory feedback.
