Interdisciplinary PhD student at Aarhus University, in collective action, culture and active inference

Modeling Theory of Mind (ToM) is hard - but it doesn't need to be! We recently published an article (https://t.co/kxGb2qwO62) showcasing the tomsup👍 python package, making it easy to use computational ToM models in simulations and experiments. 1/🧵

Happy to see this featured in Entropy. Sam and Jonathan did an incredible job - and development of the package continues!

We are indescribably sad to announce the passing of our dear friend and colleague Kristian Tylén
His presence at the IMC will be forever missed and his impact on us all is beyond words
Our thoughts are with his wife and children in this difficult time

Next CogNet workshop is tomorrow: this time on Github <3

[CogNet @AU_CogNet]

Are you wondering how to use GitHub in your research projects? 👩🏻‍💻👨🏼‍💻👩🏾‍💻 Cog-Net is conducting a GitHub workshop this Thursday.

[Peter Thestrup Waade @PTWaade]

Next CogNet workshop is tomorrow! Come join <3

[CogNet @AU_CogNet]

We also have a social lunch organised before the event for early career researchers.. Register today 🧠💻⌨️

[CogNet @AU_CogNet]

Just wrapped our first CogNet - fMRI data analysis event! 🧠✨ Huge thanks to Line Elgaard Kruse Danielsen from the School of Communication and Culture, for leading the workshop.

[Peter Thestrup Waade @PTWaade]

Its been great working with Lilian and Chris - suddenly I'm doing software packages and developing predictive processing models!

[Lilian Aline Weber @lilwebian]

This is work with @chmathys, @PTWaade, Nicolas, Anna and Klaas.

For the actual thread, come to where the skies are blue!

[Peter Thestrup Waade @PTWaade]

The @mesec_ Winter School on Consciousness Science is open for applications!
Amazing opportunity, and amazing organizers. Recommended warmly :)

Been contributing (a little!) to the organization of this cool online seminar series on consciousness science :)

[Johannes Kleiner @JohannesKleiner]

New online seminar series! https://t.co/AZIk3g5H2u
Join us! 🙂

On my way home from a wonderful Cabin Workshop at the Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science. Grateful for the beautiful Alps, for the academical diversity, and for the wonderful, wonderful company <3
Thanks @JohannesKleiner @LanaRude and everyone i didnt Twitter yet

@jbenfalandays They call it the 'high road' and 'low road' to active inference; the first starting in statistical physics, Markov Blankets and NESS (aka the FEP), the latter in predictive notions of mind. Importantly, the latter can still be used to justify active inference without the first.

[Peter Thestrup Waade @PTWaade]

@jbenfalandays But then I'm a cognitive modeler and not a physicist.
With a Markov Blanket imposed, I suppose you can ask whether the system stably controls its sensorium to fit some expectation (that defines its existence).
A nice standard approach for checking this would be nice.

[Peter Thestrup Waade @PTWaade]

@jbenfalandays If it fulfils the requirements for the FEP to apply (Markov Blanket and (non-equilibrium) steady state), this is one type of justification for using ActInf. Note that ActInf can be a useful framework irrespectively; then the problem is 'just' reconstructing the generative model

[Peter Thestrup Waade @PTWaade]

Very happy to share this ! :)

New paper out with @SilaniLab @chmathys in @eLife!

Does blocking opioid or dopamine D2 receptors increase model-based behaviour?

Workshop "Voice- and speech-based markers of neuropsychiatric conditions: assessing methodological foundations for clinical application" @interact_minds
Friday 25 November 11-16, also hybrid. Take a look!

[Peter Thestrup Waade @PTWaade]

@HansenLasse94 and Lasse Damgaard - this is still incredible :)
