I bought my current phone in 2021 and it's still going absolutely fine — with the significant problem that its operating system no longer receives security updates.

It's a major problem that the hardware lasts much, much longer than vendors are willing to support it for, and that no-one else can extend support due to hardware “security features”. It creates vast amounts of completely unnecessary electronics waste.

I wish this problem was something that governments were taking seriously.

New preprint out on how history dependence in data / neural processes affects our ability to carry out statistical inferences.

TL;DR: it's BAD!

Major PhD milestone 🏁 my 1st author paper

"Cross-Modality Evidence for Reduced Choice History Biases in Psychosis-Prone Individuals"

was published today in Schizophrenia Bulletin. 💫

Across the visual & auditory domains, more psychosis-prone individuals show less reliance on past perceptual choices.

Hi Mastodon! 👋

I'm (almost) a post-doc @THCSMarburg working on computational psychiatry & active inference, esp. perceptual mechanisms in autism, depression, and psychosis. I'm also doing some work in motor control.

For all of these I am using/ struggling with Bayesian networks.

Hoping to find my Twitter community here again - minus ads, tech billionaires & trolls 🤞

Hello world 🌐

We're the Theoretical Cognitive Science Group at Philipps-University Marburg.

Our #research is focused on models of motor control, cognition, agency and navigation.

We use graphical models, simulations, virtual reality and machine learning.
