Our Barcelona-based summer school, BAMB! (bambschool.org), just opened applications! Come join us: 16-25th July, to learn how to model behavioral data using RL, Bayesian, latent variable models, RNNs, DDMs & more! #BAMB2024

Flood this guy's email with your CVs, he deserves it! 🚀
I am very excited to announce that I will start my own lab at the Grossman Center at @UChicago_Brains in late winter 2024! I am looking forward to working alongside with its members and the rest of the Dept. of Neurobiology. I'll start hiring soon, reach out if interested!

🎉Happy to announce that I opened my computational neuroscience group at @inmed_u1249 and @centuri_ls, on the wonderful campus of Luminy in Marseille. We will focus on the neural dynamics of memory and learning. Contact me if interested in PhD and PostDoc positions in the lab.

A truly incredible experience. I have met so many lovely people here♥️. The lectures and hands-on practices are super helpful. It reminds me of how lucky I am to do research in such a cool and supportive community ✨. #BAMB2023
It was an amazing experience, I can’t recommend more this summer school! #BAMB2023 🧠💻

Barcelona summer school for advanced modelling of behaviour starts today. Welcome to our students! And thank you @heikecstein @AlexHyafil @marion_rouault @kwwimmer for putting in a huge effort to make this happen. It's going to be a fun 10 days.

which model should I use to fit my decision-making data? a cheat sheet (I wrote this for a talk years ago and just rediscovered it)

“Temporal integration is a robust feature of perceptual decisions” -> new paper @eLife with @jpillowtime @realAlexHuk @jrochav @Leorkatz and Cristina Pericas. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.84045. That was fun so let’s put that in a thread! 👇 1/9

Last but not least, we introduce “integration maps” that directly test of whether two sources of information (here, information in the early & late portions of the stim) are integrated prior to a decision. Straight isolines are an unfalsifiable signature of integration, we argue.

So, our overall message is quite reassuring: temporal integration indeed seems to be a general property of mammal perceptual decisions. Want to test this (or other forms of integration) in your data? All data & codes on github.com/ahyafil/TemporalI….
