I really love giving talks. Gets me so excited about science and the awesome work folks in my lab (@tylerjadkins1, @jabrissenden, Quynh) are doing

[Taraz Lee @TarazLee]

CoCoA lab presentations at Psychonomics!

Poster 1072 TODAY at 1pm Eastern
Reward Accelerates the Preparation of Goal-Directed Actions
@tylerjadkins1

Talk 162 Sat 10am Eastern
Reward Influences the Flexible Allocation of Resources in Visual Working Memory
@jabrissenden

@DemidenkoMI @EricFeczko Michael you can look up salaries of staff in our dept they make much more than we do

[Tyler Adkins @adkinsty_]

@smithbarryc @hakwanlau @BBCRadio4 Only neural activity exists

[Tyler Adkins @adkinsty_]

@smithbarryc @hakwanlau @BBCRadio4 Can one be both an idealist and a materialist?

[Tyler Adkins @adkinsty_]

@arossotto @TarazLee Yea for sure, thanks for the invitation.

[Taraz Lee @TarazLee]

So glad this one is finally out!

We show that human reaching decisions with rewards and penalties are best described by a heuristic strategy rather than an optimal integration of value.

Explainer thread from our preprint below:

[James Brissenden @jabrissenden]

Check out my latest preprint “Reward influences the allocation but not the availability of resources in visual working memory” w/ @tylerjadkins1, Amanda Hsu, and @TarazLee (1/7) https://t.co/Q3zWafUBlf

[Taraz Lee @TarazLee]

Yet another one by the awesome @tylerjadkins1!

How does the prospect of reward and motivation impact the balance between habitual and goal-directed responses?

New lab paper investigating the effect of reward and punishment on motor sequence learning/performance!

More awesome work by @tylerjadkins1

@TarazLee @PessoaBrain @SolomonKurz @mguindani @JessicaHullman @jabrissenden Not really Bayesian though

@TarazLee @PessoaBrain @SolomonKurz @mguindani @JessicaHullman @jabrissenden I like this visualization: https://t.co/3TlqR4si5Q

@bruno_nicenboim @mcmc_stan Interesting

[Tyler Adkins @adkinsty_]

@MrSkimpole Yea

[Taraz Lee @TarazLee]

Reward modulates cortical representations of action https://t.co/44xxIPQQV4

Finally in press! We find that reward leads to enhancements in the fidelity of action coding in motor planning areas as read out with MVPA. Kudos to @tylerjadkins1 on his first, first-author pub!

@_HanZhang_ I dealt with this yesterday too. The individual spent an hour pressing W over and over. They insisted they tried their best.

@PessoaBrain Yes. and perhaps cognitive science should instead be called psychological science and cognitive neuroscience should be called psychological neuroscience
