Weaving the story of my research life in psychology and cognitive neuroscience! Research Assistant @MSNlab @TheCHBH @ http://nikita2712.bsky.social
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!
I would be grateful for the retweets. Open PhD position in my group to look at using cognitive computational Neuro approaches to understand motivation.
Funded PhD (UK students only). Interested in a PhD working in @MSNlab, co-supervised by @froemero1? Topic is flexible around themes of motivation and decision-making, using techniques such as computational modelling, brain imaging, or brain stimulation. tinyurl.com/543ucffd

🌟 Research Assistant opportunity 🌟 I'm looking for an RA to support new projects @TheCHBH @UoB_SoP on social information seeking and decision making inc. fMRI and MEG 🧠 Details: tinyurl.com/ra-uob-chbh Deadline: 24th September ⏳ Get in touch w/ questions 👋 Please share 🔁
Had a great time with my summer school students @lame_rm @ErikStuchly @nikitamehta22 @Hiro_IMADA Xiaomu Guo and @BlubluDoScience fitting computational models to cooperation games data at #CSC2024 @UoB_SoP @TheCHBH @unibirmingham
A wonderful 3 days @LES_UniBham @UoB_SoP @TheCHBH joint with @LeidenU for our Summer School in Computational Social Cognition. Amazing experience to meet so many bright minds from across the globe! & fantastic keynote speakers. Thanks everyone for all your contributions 🌟🧠
Very excited to learn different computational modelling techniques in social neuroscience and collaborate with academics from universities around the world at this 3-day summer school! @thepsychologist @TheCHBH
Yesterday these lovely people from @MSNlab started our first psychopharmacology study @TheCHBH / @UoB_SoP looking at the effects if dopaminergic medication on thr computational mechanisms of effort and reward. Exciting new step for the lab.
Read our blog, ‘How Do We Decide to Leave a Social Interaction?’ by @brain_apps and me on a recent paper by Gabay et al. (2024). Special thanks to @AnthonyGabay, @thepsychologist, and @DrJoCutler. psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/the-he…
🌎New preprint!🌍 osf.io/preprints/psya… There is an urgent need to choose behaviours that mitigate climate change. But these actions are often more effortful. How can we increase pro-environmental motivation? Jointly led with @lsebastian_ch & amazing international team 👇🧵
A little sad to draw a close to Control Processes 2024. But thank you all for the fantastic science, discussions and company. Safe travels back home and look forward to the next one in the Bay area!
