! Job alert !
Our postdoc position at the UCL Learning Memory & Decision lab is open for applications! Please see the ad here: t.ly/gLGHu
The ad currently closes on January 2nd.
Experts in memory or decision-making, please apply. See thread below. Please share!
Postdoc job alert! We have an opening in our growing group. The research will focus on neuroimaging of memory and goal-directed decision-making, with 🧠 decoding of representations with MEG (+ RL, mood, and computational psychiatry)

We’ve all heard of place cells: neurons that form a “cognitive map” representing the structure of the outside world. But what about our own structured behaviours? We took a deep mechanistic dive, out now on @biorxivpreprint : biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 🧵below:

Very interesting work showing quite low test-retest reliability in a very common reward learning task, with relevance for computational psychiatry.
It suggests, as other research has hinted, that feedback learning tasks – with rapid & massed repetitions – may not be useful.

Comparing the test-retest reliability of behavioral computational and self-reported individual measures of reward and punishment sensitivity in relation to mental health symptoms

🌟New paper online in @TrendsCognSci with @angelaradulescu & Kara Emery 🌟
We review work taking an approach we refer to as "naturalistic reinforcement learning", which uses more naturalistic approaches to study learning and decision-making.

Slowly shutting things down here. It’s longer possible to ignore the new FKA twitter regime. Likely landing on Threads (@elliott_wimmer@threads.net) or Bluesky (@elliottwimmer.bsky.social). See you all there, or somewhere!

Excited to share a new preprint! We found that habits guide how people select and implement goals. Many thanks to my coauthors @michaelwaskom @kerry_nix7 and Mark D'Esposito osf.io/63aqz/

In a NEW PAPER out today @NatureHumBehav we show that some of the most popular strategies for increasing happiness are not well-supported by rigorous scientific evidence. A thread.
Some of the most commonly recommended happiness-increasing strategies in the media, such as mindfulness and exercise, have a weak basis of scientific evidence, suggests a systematic review published in @NatureHumBehav. go.nature.com/3K8x9q9

Preprint alert🚨! In this new paper we study how humans decompose dynamical subprocesses and leverage the abstracted subprocesses for compositional reuse of experience in new situations.

Now published! Using multi-modal imaging, we found that #locuscoeruleus and SN-VTA MRI contrast were associated with different aspects of memory in older adults. Project led by @mj_dahl with @shelbybachman @WB_Markus
