Super happy to share the first preprint from my PhD:
“Identifying Content-Invariant Neural Signatures of Phenomenal Magnitude” with
Lau Andersen, @smfleming and @nadine_dijkstra!
If you like work on consciousness and/or higher-order theories this might be for you!

Hello Mastodon! #introduction 👋
I'm a cognitive neuroscientist 🧠🔬💻 at the psychology department in Leiden, The Netherlands 🇳🇱🌷
I research how we make decisions 🔀 and how our brains change as we age 👵 (both in 🐁 and 👩)
Beyond brains, I care & post about #feminism, #openscience and #climateaction 🌍
Happy to be here!

New preprint on executive functions! The results tell a new story, very different, from classical ideas that different executive functions belong to different areas of the frontal lobe.

Take your time to read it!

@willjharrison @OpenAI Not this one, no, but after a great suggestion by @__init_self, we tried to push it to its limits with something more creative. I am blown away to say the least.

Now in press for Nature Human Behavior:
Hardwicke, T. E., & Wagenmakers, E.-J. (in press). Preregistration: A pragmatic tool to reduce bias and calibrate confidence in scientific research. Preprint url: https://osf.io/preprints/metaarxiv/d7bcu/
@tomhardwicke did the bulk of the work, so all mistakes are his ;-)

1\ I'm excited that I'll be presenting new work on “Dimensions of Consciousness” for a symposium at #ASSC26 in NYC. The symposium topic is “Mathematical Spaces for Conscious Experiences,” co-organized by @JohannesKleiner and me. I'm looking forward to returning to NYU!

How does our brain come up with new ideas and insights? We propose that insights are unexpected rewards or shortcuts found during mental navigation and correspond to the rapid emergence of new concept fields in the hippocampus.

Thanks to the @ERC_Research starting grant funding #ERCStG, we are hiring two postdoctoral fellows to work on the neural circuit mechanisms of flexible decision-making under risk and social influence. Please RT!

How can we manipulate our worlds to improve our minds?
If you listen to this week’s episode of “All in the Mind” on @BBCRadio4, you can catch the inimitable @samgilbert1 talking about his work on “cognitive offloading” and metacognitive control.

(1/9) Momentous news today: a clinical trial shows that #Alzheimers drug #lecanemab reduces amyloid in the brain & slows cognitive decline in patients. This breakthrough has been hailed as "the beginning of the end" for Alzheimer’s treatments by Prof John Hardy @UCLIoN @UKDRI 🧵
