The goal of our research is to understand how brain states shape decision-making, and how this process goes awry in certain neurological & psychiatric disorders

Using MEG imaging, researchers have mapped psychosis-related brain alterations. The findings advance the mechanistic understanding of psychosis and could assist with biomarker assay development for such disorders. @donner_lab scim.ag/4lk28iH

🎁We've long known that decisions can be biased by normatively irrelevant factors. But how do these biases arise in the brain? New Perspective paper with @k_tsetsos: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/2b…

A really fun experimental-computational collaboration with colleagues Lola Beerendonk, @jwdegee, Simon van Gaal and others, to understand the century-old psychological law of Yerkes and Dodson. Now out @PNASNews @CogSysNeuroSci @SILS_UvA @UvA_Amsterdam pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

1/14. Excited to announce our new paper accepted at #NeurIPS2023 ! We derived and tested a new measure to crack the content of communication between brain regions: 📄 openreview.net/pdf?id=lD8xaU… This was the result of a collaboration supervised by S. Panzeri at @UKEHamburg.

Individual choice repetition biases arise from persistent dynamics in parietal cortex 🧠 My latest with @donner_lab! Original #tweeprint: xitter.gq/AnneEUrai/status/14500… Code & data: github.com/anne-urai/2022_Ur… Article: nature.com/articles/s41467-0… 👇 1/4
How are different cortical signals involved in the computations underlying choice history bias? My latest #preprint with @donner_lab! 🧠 doi.org/10.1101/2021.10.09.4…

New paper by the awesome @JBrascamp out in @eLife! bit.ly/3iDk36O We separate pupil responses to distinct cognitive processes during bistable perception. Dilations happen on *reporting* perceptual switches, constrictions on *perceptual switches themselves*. 🧵:

Choices 🍏🍎are less biased in high arousal (👁️pupil-linked) states. Seems to be a general principle across species👤🐭 for directions of bias 🤩😞 and for domains of decision-making📌👂 doi.org/10.7554/eLife.54014 By @jwdegee et al #neuroscience #decisionmaking #bias #pupillometry

What happens in your brain when perception reorganizes itself, such as when you see this duck transform into a rabbit, or vice versa? @NeuroMaartje made important strides in finding out: in @CurrentBiology today - bit.ly/2ZvcuV7

Jumping to conclusions to escape uncertainty! New @biorxiv_neursci preprint from the lab on the cognitive effects of NMDA receptor hypofunction on human decision-making under uncertainty. A quick summary (so to speak): 👇 (1/18)
