@Wokkinho @smfleming @criticalneuro @behrenstimb @YunzheNeuro Also just remembered this interesting paper that describes slow and fragmented "replay", which could better reflect what's going on in rumination https://elifesciences.org/articles/64505

RT @criticalneuro
Question about replay & rumination:
Some assume rumination = replay.

But it seems to me that rumination content reaches consciousness but replay need not be.
Does someone study/model that difference?
If rumination = replay + X,
what is X? Conscious, cortex-driven, self-related?

RT @toby_wise
@smfleming @criticalneuro @behrenstimb There's also evidence of slower ~160ms cycles from @YunzheNeuro (https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.abf1357) which might be an interesting candidate. Also slower theta sweeps in rodents are interesting, they're more local but maybe rats just tend to "think" more locally than humans? 🐀

In our new pre-print, my great collaborators @marion_rouault, @RuthJvanHolst, @JudyLuig and I investigated metacognitive functioning across various hierarchical levels in OCD patients and highly-compulsive individuals from the general population https://psyarxiv.com/fb32r (1/9)

🧵 1/7. The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result.

The amazing (but twitter less) Dan Bush at UCL is hiring (he's just setup a new lab). Go and work with him: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/search-ucl-jobs/details?nPostingId=2413&nPostingTargetId=3329&id=Q1KFK026203F3VBQBLO8M8M07&LG=UK&mask=ext

I study belief in Santa (among other things). I keep getting asked if parents lying to their children about Santa is connected to adoption of conspiracy beliefs.

Here's a quick thread on the topic:

Cog, neuro, & comp sciences increasingly reference human-like agents & neuroAI w no consensus on scope/use. Some import progress in 1 discipline another &assume it automatically translates.
