Now that #COSYNE2023 abstracts are in I want to announce a #CIFAR workshop on #cognition, #AI and #consciousness that will take place *the day before COSYNE* (March 8) here at #Mila.

We have a great line-up and registration is *free*!

Please boost!!!!!

Great to see a joint call for replication studies in psychology and the human behavioural sciences from Nature Communications and Communications Psychology.

"...we see supporting this type of work as an investment in the future of psychology"

Great talk today from @marion_rouault today at UCL’s Consciousness Club.

Included discussion of this intriguing paper - showing how controllability alters confidence as we interact with a changeable world.

Reminder that my deep learning course at the University of Geneva is entirely available on-line. 1000+ slides, ~20h of screen-casts.

Full of examples in PyTorch

Well hello Mastodon! It looks like people are doing #introductions, so, I’m Professor of Cognitive Development at the University of Leeds. A particular interest is #workingmemory and how to support children with working memory difficulties in the classroom. #developmentalpsychology #cognitivepsychology #education

This is a vast improvement on previous versions. I have nothing against using automated atlases for localization.. But they have to have a decent spatial resolution. Up to know I have used Mike Petrides 2018 atlas and my own knowledge of neuroanatomy. This looks to be a great step forwards.

Excited to share the Yale Brain Atlas! An anatomical human brain atlas for aggregating multimodal data. With 690 regions, the Yale Brain Atlas aids clinical decision-making in epilepsy surgery.

This, from PNAS reviewing instructions, is actually pretty good:

"The purpose of peer review is not to demonstrate proficiency in identifying flaws."

#introduction 🙋‍♀️
I'm a interdisciplinary #cognitive and #neuroscientist studying how human brain structure supports it’s functions. I am particularly curious about the interplay between nature and nurture upon brain structure and what this means for cognition. #scaffolds is a word I like a lot right now.

👋 Hi all - I'm a psychologist and cognitive neuroscientist at UCL.

I mostly think about how to link brain and behaviour to subjective experience, and try to design experiments to understand the computations supporting the latter.

This often (but not always) comes under the umbrella of research.

Lab website is here: metacoglab.org/

I also enjoy writing for a general audience and published a popular science book, Know Thyself, about the science of metacognition (metacoglab.org/book)

Online now: the series of Jupyter notebooks we developed for my course 'Foundations of Neural & Cognitive Modelling' (at U Amsterdam), which could double as computational exercises accompagnying @Neurograce 's Models of Mind.
