On the train back to HH, having attended some really fascinating talks on naturalistic neuroscience in Bonn the last days! Many thanks for the great organisation & choice of speakers @bachlab.bsky.social @sabinekrabbe.bsky.social & @predictivebrain.bsky.social. Hope there'll be a next time🧠🥽 #NN2026

How can neurocomputation help us understand gambling addiction? 🎲
Join us next Wednesday at lunch time for a #caiantalk by Prof. Jan Peters ( @peterslab.bsky.social @unicologne.bsky.social) on "Skewed mental models: a neurocomputational perspective on problem gambling."
Thanks to our research coordinator for coordinating our first symposium since inauguration.
⏰Reminder: Our next #caiantalk is taking place tomorrow!

📢Publication Alert: New Paper on Human Pavlovian Fear Conditioning!
It has been speculated that psychophysiological responses to an outcome during learning could express prediction errors.

In our latest paper, we address this question in a large sample and in four data modalities. We find responses to outcome omission in all data modalities, but also clear and significant evidence against an expression of prediction errors.

Pavlovian reward learning is driven by prediction errors (PE), but it remains unclear whether this is also the case for aversive learning, and to what extent PE are expressed in physiological indices...
[1/2] Join us next week at caian @UniBonn for a hybrid guest lecture by Prof. Dr. Sebastian Gluth (University of Hamburg) on "Unraveling the neural and computational principles of information integration in complex decisions".
