After a great conference in Boston, CCN is going to take place in Amsterdam in 2025! To help the exchange of ideas between neuroscience, cognitive science, and AI, CCN will for the first time have full length paper submissions (alongside the established 2 pagers)! Info below👇
Come join us @StJohnsOx! Info below, and feel free to get in touch with me or @LHuntNeuro with any questions
Are you a psychologist or neuroscientist who completed your PhD after 1st October 2022, or about to submit your thesis? Consider applying for the **4-year Career Research Development Fellowship** in Psychology at St John's College, Oxford. Please share! sjc.ox.ac.uk/discover/vacan…
Excited that the preprint for the work from my first two years of PhD at @summerfieldlab is out! In this work, we examine the role of action prediction errors (APEs) in cognitive control: osf.io/5ezxs (1/4)
I'm basically done here. Life is much more interesting on the site where the skies are blue, so hopefully I'll see you there. #neuroskyence

Nice to see Yuhang Song and Rafal Bogacz's work covered in this week's Economist @MRCBNDU economist.com/science-and-te…
Almost three years in the making, the preprint is out! We take another stab at the question: How do humans learn from reinforcement? (Spoiler alert: the answer is _not_ Reinforcement Learning). Huge thanks to the dream team: @summerfieldlab @nathanieldaw @kevinjmiller10
Looks fascinating.
Musical traditions across the globe exhibit extraordinary diversity, yet certain note collections transcend cultural boundaries. What cognitive constraints might explain this? In 4 experiments across 1048 participants, we examine this question. (1/9) osf.io/preprints/psya…
Not quite up with being there in person, but at least I can catch the @CogCompNeuro highlights on YouTube after the kids are in bed :-) “Is V1 a cognitive map?” was a great GAC today, particularly once the panel debate got going. youtube.com/live/mJOuWKTix…
Sad to be missing @CogCompNeuro #CCN2024 this year. But if you're going, check out the awesome work of @denislan_ , "Zero-shot spatial planning in humans and deep reinforcement learning agents" - poster C111 on Friday! 2024.ccneuro.org/poster/?id=521
