How can we believe something different than what we perceive? Happy to share our work on this with @GuillermoHorga ,@marianne_brkr and Florian Ragalmuto, now out in @NatureComms : https://t.co/41ntZRTSuu
A few years ago, @weijima01 and I started thinking about a relatively underexplored question. Rather than asking how people make decisions, what if we instead characterized what motivates them to engage with a task in the first place?

Anna-Chiara Schaub et al. share their findings on Preserved Contextual Modulation of Eye Movements in Psychosis Prone Individuals, https://t.co/jYVtIsjXcR.
Resilience under threat may depend on what is built before it. We find that #agency accumulated in „failure-safe“ contexts linked to:
• reduced #escape under threat
• adaptive responses when control is lost
New paradigm + MACA-Q model make agency measurable (preprint soon).

Thank you @npp_journal
for this recognition! 😇🙏
This #transdiagnostic work with Gearshift Fellowship aims to move beyond static tasks toward dynamic, mechanistic understanding of how people regain agency when control is uncertain and rules change. Super excited for #ACNP2026.
Exciting evidence that the human brain uses an integrated coding format for real-world color/shape conjunctions in short-term memory, but not online vision. Proud to be a coauthor on this ambitious fMRI study with Yaoda Xu, Ben Swinchoski, & Marvin Chun:

Robots can now do much my job better than I can
This has made me a bit anxious about my own obsolescence
It has also led me to contemplate the one AI dystopia I find plausible: A world where robots free elites of all dependence on most ordinary people.

How does our brain excel at complex object recognition, yet get fooled by simple illusory contours? What unifying principle governs all Gestalt laws of perceptual organization?
We may have an answer: integration of learned priors through feedback. New paper with Ken Miller! 🧵
