Professor of Cognitive Computational Neuroscience. Head of @MSNlab. Motivation, decision-making & social cognition in human brains @TheCHBH @UoB_SoP @IMH_UoB
Delighted to have been promoted to Full Professor of Cognitive Computational Neuroscience @TheCHBH, @UoB_SoP as of 1st April. Thank you to all the students, postdocs, collaborators and mentors (especially @n_ramnani, @manos_tsakiris & @MasudHusain) who have made this happen.
🚨 New paper 🚨
Out in @CommsPsychol: "Manipulating attention facilitates cooperation" with Claire Lugrin and Christian Ruff
We use gaze data and display manipulations in one-shot Prisoner's Dilemma games and find that these manipulations can drive choices through attention 👇
Final call to UK and international candidates (Closing date: 2nd March 2025)! Join us as Full Professor in Human/Cognitive/Translational Neuroscience with the opportunity to step in as (Co-)Director at the

Thanks to all the people who've been so positive about my new book. It's about how neurological patients can tell us so much about our selves, how personal and social identities are forged by different cognitive functions, and what it means to belong.
3.5 year PhD studentship in cognitive computational neuroscience open in my @MSNlab, @TheCHBH@UoB_SoP, co-supervised with @LugtmeijerSelma & @littleneuro. Deadline 23rd March. Unfortunately only open to UK candidates. More details here: https://t.co/1wEH802Zst

After a very successful experience last year, we are excited to announce
🚨 COMPUTATIONAL SOCIAL COGNITION SUMMER SCHOOL - 2025 🚨
We have a fantastic set of keynote speakers and lecturers - apply by April 18th here: https://t.co/z3bMPHSOL4
Please spread the word!
Announcing the second 'Computational Social Cognition Summer School' @unibirmingham and Uni. Leiden. Keynotes from @DianaTamir, @david_m_amodio & Matthew Rushworth, hands on tutorials and instruction from experts, and fun activities for a low price! https://t.co/KoJgR3W7Jk
💥I'm thrilled to announce that our paper "A reward self-bias leads to more optimal foraging for ourselves than others" is now published in Scientific Reports! 🧵Curious how self-bias shapes dynamic decision-making? Read it here: https://t.co/tVGw7uJFI4
Do we make better choices when it's all about us?
📣 Read our new blog for @PsychToday on a recent paper by Contreras-Huerta et al. (2024) written by @brain_apps and me.
✨ Special thanks to @lsebastian_ch, @thepsychologist, and @DrJoCutler !

Funded PhD (UK students only). Interested in a PhD working in @MSNlab, co-supervised by @froemero1? Topic is flexible around themes of motivation and decision-making, using techniques such as computational modelling, brain imaging, or brain stimulation. https://t.co/tlCp9dp3N2
I would be grateful for the retweets. Open PhD position in my group to look at using cognitive computational Neuro approaches to understand motivation.

The project will have a fab supervisory team with @brain_apps and @froemero1 and will take place at @TheCHBH and @UoB_SoP.
Do you struggle with the whole passion drive work narrative? Feel like not going “all in” means you won’t be taken seriously? You’re in good company. Check out my latest @guardian piece on why it’s okay to not love your job.
Our paper on the Affective Gradient Hypothesis is now out on @TrendsCognSci! 🧠

For a short summary of how this theory originated and what it proposes, see this 🧵: https://t.co/FCUjV8K3Nw
It's OUT! 🥳My first (shared) first author paper with @kim_doell, Madalina, @jayvanbavel and our 254 amazing collaborators is now published in @ScientificData
Hope our dataset would be useful to many! Cant way to see the research that will come from it 🤩
