@JetBlue after some problem with your website charged me $88.60 instead of $5.60 for a points purchase, I had to argue with your support about it for 40 minutes before being proven right. That support person didn’t offer any compensation for that lost time…

new review paper w/ @rtg2753 @yael_niv and @LnccBrown! we discuss multiple mechanisms by which memory is improved/structured by emotionally relevant events, inc. classic ‘affect’ and our more recent work on ‘prediction’ (prediction-error) route💥 (1/6) https://t.co/yDgYrfI8c8

Do you ever feel pulled in different directions, as if there is a tug of war going on inside your head?

Our new PNAS suggests one reason why: When we have to balance many needs, having a dedicated sub-agent for each need has practical benefits.

Excited that this new study from @ninarouhani and the COVID-Dynamic team is out in the world!

[Nina Rouhani @ninarouhani]

Wonder what 2020 did to your memory or sense of time?

🚨 Now out in @PNASNews 🚨 we tracked how collective events and individuals’ emotional state (sampled throughout 2020) shaped spontaneous autobiographical memory across 3 years in the same ~1000 participants. (1/9)

Hey SANS members, if you haven't seen it already, please check your inboxes (and spam folders) for the SANS EDIJ Survey! A reminder email went out earlier today. Your responses will help the SANS EDIJ Task Force evaluate the diversity and climate of SANS.

This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

New in SPPS led by @jahchwe: We find that people glean the trustworthiness of a group of faces in a half second. They extract a statistical average, which biases behavior toward the group and also affects how individual members in the group are perceived.

Disregard - it's something with my chrome browser - sorry for the alarmism :(

My lab held a hackathon yesterday to play with places where large language models could help us with our research in cognitive science. The mandate was, "how can these models help us do what we do, but better and faster."

Some impressions:🧵

[Damian Stanley 🦋 @neurodamian @NeuroDamian]

This is extremely upsetting. Trust between researchers and their participants is critical. Perhaps an extra step of verification on the researcher side would provide for more accountability.

[Prolific @Prolific]

We are aware of an incident regarding a bad actor, posing as a researcher and are taking immediate action. We are deeply sorry for any offence caused.

[Damian Stanley 🦋 @neurodamian @NeuroDamian]

@micahgallen Looks as if it worked quite well (though I haven’t fully tested the code yet). Not only good for teaching, but also for quickly customizing. Stunning how well it did with pretty basic prompts. Can’t wait for GPT5!

[Damian Stanley 🦋 @neurodamian @NeuroDamian]

@micahgallen I did the same yesterday morning for a bespoke rl model that fits player A behavior in a trust game. Started basic and added (e.g., transforming parameters to soften boundaries, fitting of parameters at group and participant level, parallelization) along the way as you mentioned.
