Replying to @EdvardMoser
Really impressive identification of this functional circuit! Even better it just needs continuous attractor dynamics & firing rate adaptation (or similar) to work, which also makes some new predictions (model with @zilong_ji, Tianhao Chu, Si Wu) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…...

Cognitive models of behavior are a key part of neuroscience. But discovering them is hard! In new work from @GoogleDeepMind Neuroscience and collaborators @HHMIJanelia, we demonstrate an approach that uses LLMs and large datasets to discover models automatically.
Can LLMs be used to discover interpretable models of human and animal behavior?🤔 Turns out: yes! Thrilled to share our latest preprint where we used FunSearch to automatically discover symbolic cognitive models of behavior. 1/12

👀🍟Now out in Cognitive Science 😋🤖 We present a new approach that combines cognitive models and neural networks to predict latent preferences. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

super thrilled, honored and frankly excited to say that our paper on hippocampal replay of non spatial task states has been published in @sciencemagazine today!! tldr:hippocampal replay cares about task states+might help OFC learn them. fun teamwork with the amazing @yael_niv
Decoding sequential replay with fMRI. Big congrats @nico_schuck who demonstrates the importance of sequential reactivation in the human hippocampus for nonspatial decision-making and establishes the feasibility of investigating such rapid signals with fMRI science.sciencemag.org/conte…

Preprint: Value-based framework for understanding cooperation. Starting from neuroeconomic models of decisions and proposing directions for research focusing on memory, attention and social interaction! psyarxiv.com/bkn3j w. @TessaShussmy @diegoareinero @jayvanbavel
Excited to share our new paper in @PNASNews exploring how information about duration is incorporated into human hippocampal (and CA1) long-term sequence representations: pnas.org/content/early/2019/…

Given how flexible our attitudes can be, we should be more humble about the attitudes we hold, and this might be a long term recipe for depolarization. Wrote something for Scientific American together with @jayvanbavel scientificamerican.com/artic…

A multi-echo multi-band fMRI protocol with 7T vs. 3T leads to 200-300% improvement in tSNR. This helps to uncover differences in VTA-seed FC between depressed patients & healthy controls. Very promising work by @JMurrough's group. biorxiv.org/content/early/20…

Excited to share our new preprint with Marc Howard, "Predicting the future with multi-scale successor representations". Mathy, but we've tried to give intuitive explanations of equations. Would love to hear thoughts! biorxiv.org/content/early/20…

Big Nature Neuroscience day for us: @marcelomattar's fab theory of place cell replay came out rdcu.be/9Pjq with a kind N&V from @john_widloski & David Foster goo.gl/FtdDE6, and (coincidentally) a piece from me about how it all started rdcu.be/9Plt

Hippocampal State Transitions at the Boundaries between Trial Epochs biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_neursci
New insights concerning the exploration/exploitation trade-off using a paradigm inspired by @nathanieldaw 's 2006 paper in which we included a complete feedback condition to reduce the need for direct exploration
Replying to @valentinwyart
Then, by measuring the consistency of human decisions across repeated sequences of rewards, we validated that most of learning noise is due to random variance rather than to systematic biases – in other words, a misfit of our RL model. 6/16
