New paper out!
Ever wondered what it's like to be the Knight piece in chess? 🧠♞ In this study with @IPALab , we asked people to learn a visuomotor "Knight mapping" and make sequential decisions—linking motor learning with abstract planning. https://t.co/G72bww7zE1

Excited to share (over here) that in January, I'll start as an Asst Professor @SFU Psych! 🏞️

I'm recruiting a lab manager & my 1st grad student. If you're interested in social cognition/perception, stereotyping, & transformative experiences, check out https://t.co/TZRXpQaesD~🦉

In a paper just out, I refresh the environmental complexity hypothesis, clarifying the broad role of cognition from an evolutionary perspective: https://t.co/6t5Ijgxx7h

Our latest paper is out! We looked at the roles and interplay of reinforcement and error feedback on exploration during reaching and gait for neurotypical individuals and those with Parkinson's disease.

Excited to share a new project! 🎉🎉

How do we navigate between brain states when we switch tasks? Are dynamics driven by control, or passive decay of the prev task?

To answer, we compare high-dim linear dynamical systems fit to EEG and RNNs🌀

Had a great conversation w/ Goutham Yegappan on the Re-Educated podcast! We discussed the science of human memory, my personal journey as a scientist, and much more. For those interested --

Excited to share our lab’s posters at @SfNtweets!

Come check them out—covering how explicit strategies handle small motor errors, fundamental sensorimotor processes, computational mechanisms behind motor strategies, and the impact of Parkinson’s disease on motor adaptation.

Happy to share that this work is finally out in collaboration with @nathanieldaw and @IPALab !
If you are interested in RL and visuomotor learning, have a look!

@ThiagoTVarella Congrats Thiagooo!!

@Adrifelcha Oh, muchas felicidades Fel !!!!!!

1) A mixture of decreased precision and increased guessing describes participants’ errors as they memorize sequences of visuomotor rotations (guessing dominates beyond 2-5 rotations).
2) Such constraints are overcome with repeated training.

How does working memory aid visuomotor adaptation?
Find out in my latest paper with @IPALab !

We found that:

My latest paper is out at Psych Sci❗️
w/ @TaniaLombrozo & @cocosci_lab

We built a Bayesian model that captures people's inferences from opinions* in a game-show paradigm.

*e.g., if 12 people think 'X' is True, and 2 think 'X' is False, P(X=T) = 81%

Interested in applying computational approaches to understand developmental changes in learning? I’ll be at #CCN2024 this week and would love to talk to anyone who may be interested in joining my new BU lab next summer as a PhD student or lab manager. Please reach out!

[Carlos Velázquez @velapsy]

If you are attending #CogSci2024 come and check out our poster (P2-E-238) on July 26! Isaac Christian, @IPALab,
@sreejan_kumar
and I, study how people learn multiple visuomotor mappings using Meta-RL. Happy to chat about it, so reach out if you are interested!

[Carlos Velázquez @velapsy]

@FrancescPoli @Cambridge_Uni @DuncanAstle Congrats Francesco!

[Carlos Velázquez @velapsy]

Hi all (first tweet ever!): If you are at #RLDM2022 and are interested in how people learn sensorimotor mappings come to see my poster (1.97)!!

[Olivia Kim @oliviaakim]

Excited to announce a new preprint showing human motor adaptation without movement -- a collaborative effort between #AlexForrence, @smickdougle, and myself!
