Pleased to see this paper now out in @CellReports!

Take a look if you're interested in how people use interactive cognitive maps to avoid danger

🎉 New preprint! 🎉

We investigated how cognitive maps are used to enable flexible avoidance of dynamic threats

Preprint for "Consolidation of Sequential Planning" with @evanrussek and @NeilBurgess10. We demonstrate the neural representations supporting sequential planning and the effect of memory consolidation upon them: https://t.co/JnRNr0tNEj. As talk, see also: https://t.co/Ya8YDFQCAy

What happens when our stream of consciousness turns inward, towards the body? Our new fMRI study of 536 individuals finds that 'body-wandering' is associated with distinct patterns of brain connectivity, physiology, affect, and mental health: https://t.co/wepZGVCMXl

@shaharnitzan @paul_b_sharp We found something which might be evidence of counterfactual state updating using MEG in our model-based avoidance task (unchosen terminal states were reactivated post-outcome) - very indirect evidence though!

@paul_b_sharp @marcelomattar Reminds me also of this paper showing that MF strategies can mimic "MB" behaviour in the two-step task

Null findings are important ‼️ Excited to share my latest work finding model-based planning does NOT improve following ketamine 💉, antidepressant 💊 or iCBT 🧑‍💻 treatments, 🧵👇

[Toby Wise @toby_wise]

We've also created a Python package that implements the method, alongside documentation and examples.

🌟New preprint! 🌟

We describe a method for generating short versions of questionnaire measures using (very simple) machine learning (w/ @NuraSidarus)

[Toby Wise @toby_wise]

In this preprint we refine the method and describe it in detail. Essentially, we train Lasso-regularised regression models to predict sum scores from individual items.

The result is a short scale with a set of weights to optimally predict true sum scores.

Bit of a last minute announcement, but I have a project in the @KCL_MRCDTP catalogue - deadline is next week!

Happy to share our latest publication, out now in @CognitionJourn, where we find that metacognitive self-beliefs are updated in a suprisingly domain-specific manner. https://t.co/iWCCDUwXwW

* How RL and WM interact when actions can lead to reward or to punishment

* A striking lack of learning and retention diffs as a function of depr/anxiety and rumin symptoms

* An RL but not S-R module captured retention patterns
