We are researchers at the Max Planck Institute and we develop tools to help people reach their goals, live happier lives, and be who they want to be!

[Julian Skirzynski @JSkirzynski]

Can AI, a product of scientific discovery, make scientific discoveries on its own now?

In our new article published in Behavior Research Methods, we show that it can, by developing an AI-powered method for discovering human planning strategies!

Do we really need to learn from our mistakes? Couldn’t we just… make optimal decisions like computers 🤖 and not make mistakes?

Well, our new work accepted in Computational Brain & Behavior journal indicates that it might be possible!

Welp. We've done the research...and it turns out that people don’t always make optimal use of their limited cognitive resources after all. 😭

But can they learn to? And can we help them learn faster?! Our new paper @PNASNews suggests yes!!!
