Cognitive Modelling & Decision Neuroscience Lab

A “Nutri-Score". But for the lab 😁

Had a blast presenting our thoughts on optimal lab technology for complex questions at #ISSP in Hong Kong.

Interested? Check out our @cmdn-lab.bsky.social & @dhprlab.bsky.social preprint w/ @sgluth.bsky.social & Johannes Keyser: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Thought-provoking talk at our research colloquium yesterday! 🧠
@lilweb.bsky.social presented ambitious work on testing and improving methods in computational psychiatry.
We thank Lilian for her visit and the valuable discussions throughout the day in our lab!

Check out our new preprint, led by Romy Froemer and in collaboration with Chih-Chung Ting and Sebastian Gluth:
“Goals shape dynamics of attention and selection for value-based decision-making”.

🚨Friends, we’re happy to share that our book is available for pre-order! 🎉
We aimed to cover all the foundations of the topic in an accessible manner for a large audience.
It could help set up a bachelor-level curriculum on the topic.
Pre-orders are very key for the fate of books: shorturl.at/Dxbif

Inspiring talk at our research colloquium yesterday! 🧠
Liane Schmidt shed light on the important question , why people struggle to stick to a healthy diet 🍏
We enjoyed valuable discussions during individual meetings and over a delicious (more or less healthy) dinner!

Fascinating session at our research colloquium yesterday! 🧠
Sebastian Olschewski unpacked how complexity shapes the way we make risky decisions. Valuable discussions during individual meetings and over a delicious dinner!

🧠 Hyperscanning in action!
With the Gläscher Lab @isnlab.bsky.social, @mrugsen.bsky.social investigates how 2 brains interact during real-time decision making. Using simultaneous EEG, we explore how people learn each other's preferences and intentions — one offer, one choice, one signal at a time.

Our new paper is out as a reviewed preprint in @elife.bsky.social!

Congrats to @hashimsat.bsky.social and our amazing collaborators on this great team effort.

Special shout-out to @haukeren.bsky.social, who made this possible through his generous support 🙌

#preprint 📢

Effort usually boosts performance - but not always. We discuss 4 domain-general factors that modulate effort-performance (de)coupling: osf.io/preprints/ps...

TL;DR: A framework on when and why effort-performance links appear to change across domains, timescales & measures.

How can we increase eco-friendly choices? 🌱 Our new preprint with @barbaraoberbauer.bsky.social , Ulf Hahnel & @sgluth.bsky.social reveals the mechanisms through which consumer-friendly attribute displays boost ecological decisions

Thank you for organising this fun garden party with inspiring chats 💬, good food 😋 and of course some sporty activities 💪
Looking forward to many more joint events 🤩

Hungry eyes Humans focus less on nutritional information and more on how appetizing a food looks when deciding what to eat while hungry.

🥐 When we’re hungry, we pay more attention to taste than health, literally.

Eye-tracking and modelling show hunger shifts our focus toward calorie-rich foods and away from nutrition info.

Proud to see this one out as Version of Record in #eLife

This week we had another great guest in our #DHPRLab meeting. 🥳

@sgluth.bsky.social from @cmdn-lab.bsky.social took the time to tell us all about computational modeling of decision making. It was a pleasure having you, thank you so much for visiting. ☺️

#EGPROC2025 of course

Excited to present our research at this epic location #EGPRO2025 with @sgluth.bsky.social, @maryamtohidi.bsky.social and @jennamarch.bsky.social 🚀

Amazing sunny team event with our lab today! ☀️ We tackled an escape room aboard the historic ship Rickmer Rickmers - nothing like solving puzzles surrounded by maritime history ⚓🧩 So lovely bonding outside the lab and putting our problem-solving skills to work in completely new settings! 🤓

After years of hard work, @hashimsat.bsky.social's big one is out!

Huge thanks to co-authors Katharina Wille, Matt Nassar, Radek Cichy, @nicoschuck.bsky.social & Peter Dayan - and to @haukeren.bsky.social for his invaluable support!

Excited to see our study on the Tagesschau 🎉
Note: We conducted a laboratory experiment, meaning that the application to real life grocery shopping is limited. Our findings shed light on the cognitive mechanisms that underly food choice under hunger. Also, we do not appeal to politics or industry.

🎉 Thrilled to share the press releases of our study 🎉

Interested in the mechanisms underlying distractor effects? Make sure to check out the paper of our postdoc @maryamtohidi.bsky.social in which she sheds light on how and when the distractor effect emerges in value-based and multialternative choice paradigms.

What an absolute pleasure to have @wanjawolff.bsky.social from @dhprlab.bsky.social with us! Thank you for this inspiring talk 🙏
We are looking forward to many more opportunities to discuss research and practice table soccer 🤓⚽
