a reminder that CCN abstract deadline is a little more than 2 weeks away! super early bird registrations are filling up fast, just ~30 places left... see https://2023.ccneuro.org/ for registration / submission

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 👇🧵

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)

On IWD we have launched a survey for @ucl employees who have taken parent-related leave in the last five years. If this applies to you, please take this super-short survey (and circulate!). https://qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_cG4oKhL0rNm9CZw Better leave = better work + family life for men and women!

We are pleased to announce the launch of the #OPMCollaboration 🧠

In partnership with @youngepilepsy the project aimed to raise the voices of young people with epilepsy, by co-designing key elements of new brain scanning technology, OPM-MEG.

My biggest takeaway from attending my first AI conference in person since ChatGPT is the level of FOMO that researchers feel about it. So many talks referencing or cracking jokes about ChatGPT. So many researchers trying to intersect their work with ChatGPT to stay relevant.

I am starting my own research group at @TheCrick Institute in London! We will be investigating how neuronal circuits in the brain drive social interactions between animals.

I have an immediate opening for a PhD student, apply by 22 March!
