🚨 New paper 🚨 Out in @CommsPsychol: "Manipulating attention facilitates cooperation" with Claire Lugrin and Christian Ruff We use gaze data and display manipulations in one-shot Prisoner's Dilemma games and find that these manipulations can drive choices through attention 👇
In a one-shot prisoner’s dilemma game, manipulating the location of payout information on computer screens changed participants’ gaze pattern sequences and resulted in greater cooperation when more focus was given to others’ outcomes. @arkadykonovalov nature.com/articles/s4427…
🌟 Research Assistant opportunity 🌟 I'm looking for an RA to support research @TheCHBH @UoB_SoP on social information seeking and decision making, including fMRI and MEG 🧠 Details: tinyurl.com/chbh-ra-uob Deadline: 20th July ⏳ Start: From September 🗓️ Please share 🔁

🚨 New preprint 🚨 "Unrewarded Cooperation" papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Remember the poll that went viral in 2023? We reproduced these results using real monetary rewards in an online lab experiment (sorry, no life and death).

An interesting read if you do any online surveys (I'm wondering if it can also do simple tasks that require just key or button presses) 👇
OpenAI has launched Operator, an agent that can perform tasks in your browser. I asked it to complete a Qualtrics survey I created. The results are very promising for Operator but *very* concerning for survey researchers
Fantastic funded PhD opportunity! With wonderful team of supervisors across @TheCHBH and in San Francisco ⭐️👇
3.5 year PhD studentship in cognitive computational neuroscience open in my @MSNlab, @TheCHBH @UoB_SoP, co-supervised with @LugtmeijerSelma & @littleneuro. Deadline 23rd March. Unfortunately only open to UK candidates. More details here: findaphd.com/phds/project/p… Pls retweet.
So excited to announce Curiosity, Information Seeking & Exploration conference: 30th Sept-1st Oct @BrownUniversity. Amazing speakers sites.google.com/view/informati… and free! Abstract submissions are open until 7th July With @froemero1 @hayleydorfman @dan_ohad @NassarLab. Please share!
