Just published in @eLife! This work was done with the amazing @neuro_kim @caswellcaswell & supremely talented co-first author @TomNotGeorge! TLDR? There's evidence hippocampus functions like a 'predictive map' - so how might this be achieved in the brain? https://elifesciences.org/articles/80663

Huge thanks to #CRTA #Robotics Centre at @SveucilisteZG for hosting #UK Director for #Technology Chris Jones. Really impressive robots helping humans doing everything from #neurosurgery to persuading kids to exercise. Unfortunately I could take a robot home :(

The talks from our @CIFAR_News and @ai_unique workshop on consciousness, cognition, and AI are now posted online:

The talks were all amazing, so we're very happy to be able to share them like this. 🙂

Awesome episode! Wonderful to hear @drkjjeffery talk about her work and the descriptions of how Grid and Place cells map a 2D and 3D space. Loved the part about how it would be fascinating to study how a 4D space would be cognitively mapped! https://twitter.com/caswellcaswell/status/1636069067692953602

Reducing doctoral training opportunities and reducing their distribution across the UK is perhaps not the best way to create a science superpower. Reductions cited go beyond that required to fund stipends adequately (where @UKRI_News have been making good progress) https://twitter.com/davidpriceucl/status/1635918464211726336

Excellent work by @SebastianHell18, now published in #PsyRev: https://doi.org/10.1037/rev0000411. The best model assumes a drift diffusion process for the decision and for confidence, a parallel estimate of sensory uncertainty, and a post-decisional period of evidence accumulation. https://twitter.com/SebastianHell18/status/1509430243110576131

Large language models change everything for linguistics, starting with Chomsky.

Featuring: LLMs as scientific theories, response to prior takes, "why" questions in language, acquisition... and how the field should have seen this coming.

How does metacognition shape how we search for information? Happy to share our full theory+data paper out now in PsychReview (w/ @smfleming & Peter Dayan @MPICybernetics). We’ve made big chances since the 1st preprint (all new empirical section!) so here’s an updated thread 👇🧵

RT @GabyMohamady
Frontal neurons fire for particular task states, but seem to remap between tasks. Turns out this remapping reveals a surprising algorithm for abstraction and sequence learning. I’ll discuss this across 2 workshop talks at #cosyne2023 . Come along if you're interested! ... (1/3)
