always fun to come up with new jokes and analogies ;)

Today we (led by @thepsychologist) kick off the Birmingham-Leiden Computational Social Cognition Summer School @TheCHBH / @UoB_SoP. 70+ students from across the globe will learn how and why to use Computational modelling in Psychological and Neuroscience research.
My talented PhD student @AamirNSohail wrote a thought–provoking perspective on how to use LLMs in research & teaching in psychology, and importantly, understanding cognitive (dis)function of human behaviour. @ALPN_Lab @TheCHBH @UoB_SoP 👇 check it out osf.io/preprints/psya…
🚨Post-doc 3-years🚨work with me and my team on the #computational #development #psychiatry #neuroscience of #ADHD to understand treatment response to methylphenidate! funded by @dfg_public karriere.ukw.de/en/jobs/10557/…
Ever wondered what makes human intelligence so powerful? We thought 👉compositionality in babies👈 might be part of the answer: our new paper just out in @PNASNews explores how babies build symbolic mental models 🧩 combinatorial thought 🧩 number 🧵 1/n doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
