Check out this new paper out from our lab in Nature Human Behavior! Tiantian Li, Harrison Marble, and Niloufar Razmi show how latent state changes modulate arousal and behavior here: https://t.co/evO911zkD1! Congrats to everyone involved! :)🥳

[Nassar Lab @NassarLab]

New preprint out from our lab's Niloufar Razmi with @caesardai_ and @leahbakst! Check it out here https://t.co/1tsgwwTxrc Congrats guys! :)

[Rasmus Bruckner @rasmusbruckner]

In our new @CommsPsychol review, we explore how humans adjust learning to different types of uncertainty, why biases arise, and what this reveals about learning and psychiatric conditions.
