Are you new to the field of Computational Psychiatry or just looking for resources on applying Bayesian models of cognition to behavioural data? Then check out our new paper "Bayesian Workflow for Generative Modeling in Computational Psychiatry": https://t.co/GQUIIcUdhr

How do we process uncertainty, and how do neurometabolites shape this?🧠Here we use a combination of computational modeling + 7T MRS to answer these questions: https://t.co/VsfExNtfT3

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

Super excited to share our new preprint, led by my supervisor Franziska Knolle in collaboration with Verena Demler, @Lucy_MacG & @chmathys:

Folks in 🇩🇰 & beyond! On Oct 1st, we are hosting (@interact_minds) a workshop exploring research at the intersection of NLP x social sciences, cognition, & humanities, with 3 awesome keynotes by @dirk_hovy, @maria_antoniak & @sandropezzelle. Register here: https://t.co/6fB14qVM1E

[Chris Mathys, friend of clarity about scarcity @chmathys]

Great to see this out - congratulations @D_Atanassova !

Higher levels of psychopathic traits were associated with reduced pain sensitivity and a greater tendency to ignore new evidence and maintain prior expectations in pain learning situations. https://t.co/FxB9zwNjpF

[Dimana Atanassova @D_Atanassova]

🧵Why do people with psychopathic traits stick to maladaptive patterns of behaviour?

The answer: a cognitive rigidity mechanism prompts them to ignore new evidence and maintain prior expectations in pain learning situations. 1/3

@PTWaade This has been a long haul – the main work was done as part of @lilwebian's PhD at the #TNU @ETH_en, with Klaas and me. Years later, Nicolas, @PTWaade and Anna came onboard and made shiny toolboxes from our initial codebase. First preprint May 2023. Glad to finally share it!

Here's a copy of @lilwebian's thread on the generalized HGF https://t.co/oxzCHeoW3o 👇

[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!

[Chris Mathys, friend of clarity about scarcity @chmathys]

@PTWaade We also provide some examples for the kinds of models you can now build within the HGF framework – from global volatility beliefs, multimodal inference, multisensory cue combination over time, etc etc – check it out! https://t.co/oxzCHeoW3o

If you want to have a chat about this, meet me today at #IWAI2024 or the rest of the week at the #CPC in Zurich. There, we will also present the new toolboxes implementing all of this:
