Our review about the future of computational models of cognitive flexibility is now out at Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences. Thanks to @CoolsControl and @LucinaUddin for editing this special issue! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
🚨 New paper! 🚨 We often fail to foresee how our science can indirectly harm individuals and groups, e.g., by shaping social perceptions. In a new @PLOSCompBiol paper, we outline ten simple rules to facilitate thinking on our social impacts journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a… A 🧵 1/10

It's almost there again: the annual Cognitalks, organised by Cognito Student Union. If you're in the Amsterdam area on April 9, feel free to join for a night of cutting-edge work from neurobiology, psychology and cognitive neuroscience!

Excited to announce our new work finding that individual differences in predictive learning (e.g. Successor Representations) show a strong relationship with hierarchical abstraction during decision making, now out in @PLOSCompBiol! Read on👇or visit doi.org/10.1371/journa…
Congratulations to The Brain Prize winners 2024: Larry Abbott, @Sejnowski, and @HSompolinsky They have pioneered the field of computational and theoretical neuroscience and have made seminal contributions to our understanding of the principles that govern the brain’s…

How to measure the true impact of interdisciplinary science? Our paper featured on the cover of PNAS (@PNASNews) introduces a network-based approach. PDF: barabasilab.com/science/public… Let's dive into the highlights! #ScienceOfScience 1/n
In this book I try to show that human being is an aesthetic phenomenon. This changes how we think about the project of cognitive science and the science of consciousness. It also lets us rethink our understanding of the place of art and philosophy in our lives.
Challenging the notions that art is a cultural curiosity and that philosophy has been outmoded by science, The Entanglement by Alva Noë offers a new way of thinking about the essential role of #art and #philosophy in trying to know ourselves. hubs.ly/Q01VTFW50 @alvanoe
