Subjective signal strength distinguishes reality from imagination https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-37322-1 by @nadine_dijkstra @smfleming; "when virtual or imagined signals are strong enough, they become subjectively indistinguishable from reality"; it has this Arthur C. Clarke ring to it...

Now out in @NatureHumBehav! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01570-4. Together with @torwager & Matt Jones, we studied how people update their high-stakes beliefs given new information. We focused on beliefs in fraud following the 2020 U.S. election. More details: https://twitter.com/rotembot/status/1466469484928057354?s=20 (1/6)

There has been a lot of progress in our understanding of how the brain organises relationships in cognitive maps. But how is this knowledge used when guiding novel choice? Work with @TankredSaanum, @cpilab, @nico_schuck & @doellerlab now in @NatureNeuro https://rdcu.be/c83tL

A wonderful way to start the week. Full of admiration for Ukrainians in Croatia who have not only relocated their lives and their families but also set up their own organisation to support their community and delighted the embassy has been able to support their work. https://twitter.com/ukincroatia/status/1642827625344245762

I am SO excited to share that our paper 'Sensory strength distinguishes imagination from reality' is now published! It was a long process but I'm so happy with the result. With @smfleming.

When do confidence computations take place? In a new preprint, we find that single TMS pulses to DLPFC as early as 200 ms after stimulus onset affect confidence, challenging post-decisional theories of confidence.

Could you land a plane if the pilot died?
A lot of men are convinced they could. I would have been among them if I hadn’t read this study and real pilots pointing out how entertaining the possibility is totally ridiculous. https://twitter.com/yougovamerica/status/1610021865753280512
