I would be grateful for the retweets. Open PhD position in my group to look at using cognitive computational Neuro approaches to understand motivation.

[Debbie Yee @debyeeneuro]

It was a privilege and pleasure to work with these colleagues to generate this collection, which I hope will generate new ideas for the next evolution of studies of these interactions.

And, of course, many thanks to @postlelab for helping and make this collection possible!

[Debbie Yee @debyeeneuro]

Excited to see this Special Focus at @JOCN_Journal
on Neural and Computational Mechanisms of Motivation and Decision-Making, finally out!

Finally, @yue_l_zhang @JasonLeng5 @amitaishenhav examine how rewards interact with challenges to impact cognitive control. They find that individuals exert more effort for higher rewards & greater challenge, but lead to divergent affective states (rew>pos, challenge>neg).

[Caterina Gratton @GrattonCaterina]

fMRI network measures are affected by sampling error 🎲, physiological artifacts 💗, arousal 👀, and task state 🎞️. We argue that a major challenge in studies of 🧠network dynamics is distinguishing between these sources of variability.

[Prof. Matthew Apps @brain_apps]

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

[Griffiths Computational Cognitive Science Lab @cocosci_lab]

(1/5) Very excited to announce the publication of Bayesian Models of Cognition: Reverse Engineering the Mind. More than a decade in the making, it's a big (600+ pages) beautiful book covering both the basics and recent work: https://t.co/5dnLpcMQzu

Hey @geronsociety #GSA2024 attendees, today's the day!

Our new "Judgment & Decision Making" Special Interest Group for aging researchers convenes its first in-person meeting in Seattle, at 3pm in room 602.

Corinna @Loeckenhoff and I are psyched to see you there!

[Yael Niv @yaelniv.bsky.social @yael_niv]

Are you a clinical psychologist interested in computational modeling? The Niv lab will be looking for a postdoc in computational psychiatry/psychotherapy and we are especially keen on people with a clinical background. Email me with CV & research statement if this is you!

[Diego A. Pizzagalli, PhD @DiegoPizzagalli]

Dear colleagues: we just released a call for an exciting Special Issue for #psynomCABN: “Trying in the 21st Century: A New Look at the Neuroscience of Effort”, with an outstanding group of guest editors. Abstract submission due 12/15/24. Details at https://t.co/zqtXJ49x3S. Pls RT

[Debbie Yee @debyeeneuro]

This is an *amazing* team! Strongly endorse this incredible team (and exciting project!)

[Paul Muhle-Karbe @PMuhleKarbe]

New PhD scholarship opportunity for an exciting project on cognitive maps and causal inference!
