DPhil student in Experimental Psychology @OxExpPsy with @MasudHusain and @SaxeLab studying working memory and learning

[Sofia Toniolo @toniolo_sofia]

Digital testing is increasingly used in Alzheimer's Disease. There are plenty of platforms out there, but very few can be administered fully online, are patient friendly and validated against AD biomarkers. Check out Sijia's Zhao amazing platform - OCTAL! https://t.co/v047EJH5hk

Our preprint showing that working memory stores representational information for reinforcement behaviour is out ! @BrainInTheMind @MasudHusain @VerenaKlar @dopaminded

[Tim Buschman @timbuschman]

New paper in @CellCellPress w/ @cjahn_neuro on how the brain learns to control attention in a changing environment! Attention is learned incrementally from reward, and it maps stimuli into a generalized value space to guide decisions in many settings. 🧵https://t.co/EneXRvzVhy

[Tim Buschman @timbuschman]

New preprint with @cjahn_neuro on how the brain learns to control attention in a changing environment! We find attention is learned incrementally from reward feedback, and it maps stimuli into a generalized space that can guide decisions in many settings. https://t.co/UVoGrLEUBd

This is a beautiful paper.

I'm being promoted to Professor at @GatsbyUCL @SWC_Neuro @ucl! This reflects the stellar students and collaborators I've had the pleasure of thinking with over the years--it's been a blast.

[Kengo Shibata @kengoshibata]

Very interesting discussions at @VSSMtg. What a great science community! Thanks to everyone who stopped by! #VSS2023

[Working Memory Symposium @WMSymposium]

The Working Memory Symposium is now open for abstract submissions! The deadline is May 31st, and the link and additional details can be found at our homepage: https://t.co/u4RK4gRx5t. Share with all the early-career researchers so we can hope to feature them and their work!

[Aaditya Singh @Aaditya6284]

Excited to be at #eacl2023 in Croatia this week for my first conference. Presenting this work from my @DeepMind internship last year at:

Poster session 2: May 2, 16:30
Oral session 3, Language Grounding and Multimodality: May 3, 11:15

[Sarah Solomon @sarahhsolomon]

The 3rd annual Mind DivE In is coming your way this October! Apply now for a fully funded weekend of learning the ins and outs of applying and thriving in grad programs in the mind sciences.

[Andrew Saxe @SaxeLab]

Excited to share our paper at #ICLR2023 titled: On the Specialization of Neural Modules.

Led by @devonjarvi5 with @kleinric and @BenjaminRosman

New study of selective memory retrieval by the brilliant @moccia_arianna! 🤩👇🏻

[Andrew Saxe @SaxeLab]

Excited to share our new paper at #NeurIPS2022!

Prior knowledge deeply impacts learning dynamics. We derive exact solutions in deep linear networks for a rich class of initialisations.

New review on visual working memory with @BaysLab, @timothyfbrady, and Sebastian Schneegans: https://t.co/84130x8EPe I was surprised by how much news there was since my 2014 review with @BaysLab and @MasudHusain. Comments/excoriations are welcome and may get incorporated.

[Tim Buschman @timbuschman]

New perspective piece on cognitive control with @CamdenMacDowell and @tafazolisina. We propose the brain uses a low-dimensional set of 'control states' to balance between precision of control with flexibility of learning. https://t.co/ZMvKvpYaKg

[Maciej Wołczyk @maciejwolczyk]

Yesterday was the last day of MLSS^N, a summer school on ML and neuroscience I co-organised. If you missed it, you can catch up on the wonderful lectures of @rpascanu, @SaxeLab, @vdbergrianne and many other amazing speakers here: https://t.co/rVcx2Sw6ol

I plan to start theory-driven experiments!
