Robert Wilson

Neuroscience of Reinforcement learning and Decision making Lab at Georgia Tech

[Robert Wilson @NRDlab]

What a day! 20 talks, 20 posters, 1 panel and 143 participants. Atlanta is fast becoming a powerhouse for Computational Cognition! Thanks to all who took part!

[GT Neuroscience, Neurotechnology, & Society @gt_neuro]

The Computational Cognition (CoCo) Center of Excellence housed in @GTPsychology brings together @GTResearch_ faculty studying the mind.

We're hear today (3/13) at the 2026 CoCo Conference featuring talks and posters from many INNS affiliates.

Atlanta community: we are organizing a @CogCompNeuro watch party!

Watch the talks, engage in structured discussions, and (optionally) present your own work.

@danielwurgaft loved chatting about this at COLM last year - beautiful work!

[Robert Wilson @NRDlab]

Apply for my old job! You will not find a more supportive department and the Sonoran desert is spectacularly beautiful!

I know it's literally yesterday's news at this point, but folks interested in the (surprisingly simple) math underlying Hopfield networks and Boltzmann machines could do worse that Chapters 42 and 43 of David MacKay's info theory book.

@PhilCorlett1 @behrenstimb this year also the centenary of Pavlov's Nobel. Would be fitting

[Robert Wilson @NRDlab]

@behrenstimb there's still three more to go! personally I have him down for peace

[Robert Wilson @NRDlab]

I'm calling it ... literature tomorrow will be for @ChatGPTapp

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

[Neuromechanics Lab is Lena Ting @NeuromechanicsL]

Hey we are hiring! Would love to have some colleagues at Emory in BME working in sensorimotor systems and related technologies that cross the basic/clinical divide!

[Nina Rouhani @ninarouhani]

I will be recruiting 💫two PhD students💫 for my new lab! (computational learning & memory applied to individual & interactive behavior, https://t.co/EXo6x5fI8Z).

Feel free to e-mail if interested and catch me at SfN! (poster 06 at 1 PM on Wed 10/09)

@todd_gureckis had this exact experience about 2 years ago - big improvement almost instantly. has continued to get better since, although occasionally have to back off if pushing too hard.

[Jamie Edgin @EdginJamie]

This is a new opening for a VT Psychology colleague based at FBRI in Roanoke https://t.co/R85VrTouq8

[Romy Frömer @froemero1]

Oh, hello there! You are looking for a postdoc position and you are curious about neural and computational mechanisms of flexible goal-directed decision-making? What a coincidence! We might be looking for you!

[Robert Wilson @NRDlab]

Fun work by led by @PsychBoyH (Hanbo Xie) and @HuaDongXiong based on a great data set out of @cocosci_lab - can people describe their own cognitive computations?

[Hanbo Xie @PsychBoyH]

My paper with @HuaDongXiong and @NRDlab is officially public in @COLM_conf! In computational cognitive sciences, researchers always propose computational models to infer people's thoughts, strategies, or algorithms underlying complex behaviors.

@johnmyleswhite I think it was in regard to Bezos and his 10,000 year clock

[megan peters 🧠 @meganakpeters]

y'all this is a super fun, rewarding experience. help guide thinking, curiosity, & big picture perspective motivated, smart, savvy students from feverishly working on really complex projects. inspire them, form lasting mentorship ties. highly recommend, well worth your time!

[Robert Wilson @NRDlab]

@WitteKristin @jenbussell @toby_wise @docqhuys @cpilab Great work! I think it's actually consistent with what @RyanSmith_LIBR found in the Horizon Task - increased anxiety = increased information seeking overall (but less modulation by horizon - hence the perhaps misleading title of that paper)

[Anna Ivanova @neuranna]

I am hiring a research tech! This 2-year position is ideal for a recent college grad who wants to gain research experience. If you're interested in the intersection of language, thought, neuroscience, and AI, consider applying! DM/email with any questions.
