🚨 New preprint alert!
Our project investigating the effects of internalizing and trait anxiety on learning under uncertainty is finally online 🐆🐅
https://t.co/aATM1VWUJ1
Surprisingly, despite robust evidence of adaptive learning across participants, we consistently did not find any evidence of impaired learning under internalizing or trait anxiety in all these experiments. Stay tuned, and I’d love to hear your thoughts in the meantime!
Come by our poster B27 at #CCN2024 on Thursday, where we show results from our experiments on trait anxiety and learning under uncertainty.
Spoiler Alert: Absence of systematic effects
Work done with @rasmusbruckner, @nico_schuck, @NassarLab, Radek Cichy and Peter Dayan.
Looking forward to amazing science and many familiar faces #CCN2024! We'll show some work on
-aversive generalisation @lui_anta (B26)
-anxiety & uncertainty @Hashimsat (B27)
-generalisation of past solutions @SHallMcMaster (C114)
-sleep & insight @anika_loewe (Talk on Fri!)

Hello #SfN22 people,
Come check our poster out to learn more about how threat imminence might affect learning under uncertainty.

We are just getting startet with our new application round for intake in fall 2022! Thinking about a fully funded PhD in the overall field of Cognition???? Have a look: https://t.co/bC6lOvgHFJ #passionforscience 👍🏻🍀🎉
I am excited to share a new study led by Shachar Givon & @MatanSamina w/ Ohad Ben Shahar: Goldfish can learn to navigate a small robotic vehicle on land. We trained goldfish to drive a wheeled platform that reacts to the fish’s movement (https://t.co/ZR59Hu9sib).
I read a book that blew my mind a little and I can’t stop telling people about it.
It explains why so many people dedicate their lives to achieving things that make them miserable.
This might sound crazy, but an unseen force is pushing you towards empty and unfulfilling goals…
The Indus Valley Civilization was one of the oldest in history of mankind. It was twice the size of contemporary Egyptiac civilization and almost 4 times that of the Sumerian civilization in Mesopotamia. More than 1000 settlements covered 800,000 sqkm.
@DrNadiaChaudhri passed away yesterday evening, having reached the end of her road with ovarian cancer. She leaves behind her Sun and Moon, a loving extended family, colleagues and students, friends around the world, and so many others who have been touched by her & her story 1/n
I hope someday to meet you at that table, deep in the forest beyond the horizon, so I may thank you personally for the powerful gifts you gave us all.
May your beautiful soul have found peace Dr. Chaudhri, and a wonderful feast in a new life.
Very excited to share our work published in @ScienceTM this week (and featured on the cover!), describing a new class of bioelectronic interfaces, “MXtrodes”, we developed using the nanomaterial Ti3C2 MXene. What’s so special about MXtrodes? Thread below...
Not a physicist, but back when I was starting off, Steven Weinberg's insightful advice was very influential in my own development:

I've gone down a rabbit hole of reading about the life of Yellowstone wolf 21, who seems to have been the wolf equivalent of the Buddha crossed with Batman. In his entire life he never lost a fight & never killed a defeated enemy. What a legend.
