Great to see this out! Exciting work led by @shawnrhoadsphd.com on how we learn when actions affect ourselves and others 🧠

w/ @aa-marsh.bsky.social, @k-oconnell.com, Kathryn Berluti, & Lin Gan plus @thepsychologist.bsky.social & me @sdnl.bsky.social, @thechbh.bsky.social, @uob-sop.bsky.social

Thank you so much to everyone who came and to our sponsors @carneyinstitute.bsky.social, Brown CoPsy, Brown Neuro, @unibirmingham.bsky.social, UoB College of Life & Environmental Sciences & @thechbh.bsky.social

… George Loewenstein, @modirshanechi.bsky.social, @russell-golman.bsky.social, @vgonzalez.bsky.social, @carocharp.bsky.social, @doctor-bob.bsky.social, @katenuss.bsky.social, @haoxuefan.bsky.social plus so many great short & blitz talks and posters

I had so much fun organising #CISE2025 conference on Curiosity, Information Seeking & Exploration with Romy Frömer, @hayleydorfman.bsky.social, Ohad Dan, Matt Nassar, Tali Sharot & Jacqueline Gottlieb at beautiful Brown University then hearing about all the amazing research from our speakers…

Thank you so much for your great talk Valeria and it was lovely to meet you!

We’re kicking off day 2 of #CISE2025 🔭 with a fun talk from George Loewenstein on his tour de force research program on information gap theory

George Loewenstein summarizing 30 yrs of brilliant studies on curiosity and desire for information (or a desire to not know, eg likely bad news) #CISE2025 at Brown Univ

Successful first CISE poster session at beautiful Brown! #CISE2025 🔭

Church in Marseille at sunset

Great start to the travels @univ-amu.fr in beautiful Marseille. Next up Providence for CISE 2025, Boston @socforneuroecon.bsky.social, and New York

Early bird registration for "The Mechanistic Basis of Foraging 2025" conference ends on 30th September!

This meeting provides a multidisciplinary perspective on the neural, behavioural and computational mechanisms of foraging across species.

Great to have @mjgruber.bsky.social visit @chbh.bsky.social @uob-sop.bsky.social today and give a great talk on curiosity, exploration & memory 🧠

I had a fantastic time at the Computational Social Cognition Summer School at U of Birmingham!

What an amazing resource & opportunity for students.

Thanks to organizers @drjocutler.bsky.social Lei Zhang and @thepsychologist.bsky.social & the speakers, instructors, and students!

So great to share plans for my upcoming online study and broader PhD with brilliant minds at my first conference #BAP2025 and fantastic computational modelling workshop #CSC2025! osf.io/7fqbe

Had a great time attending the Birmingham-Leiden Computational Social Cognition Summer School this week! Thanks to everyone who was part of #CSC2025 and especially to @drjocutler.bsky.social & @lei-zhang.bsky.social for leading the organization! 10/10 would recommend! More info on www.compsoccog.com

#Day2 #CSC2025 keynote on on modelling prejudices in social interactions by @davidamodio.bsky.social followed by a comprehensive tutorial on drifting diffusion modelling. 📊
Day ended with a walking tour of the city ✌️

#CSC2025 participants enjoying a @positivelybrum.bsky.social walking tour around the city centre

#Day1 #CSC2025
Amazing insights on neural dynamics of good conversation by Prof. Diana Tamir from Princeton Uni. Followed by lectures on effort based discounting modelling.

Amazing kick start to the Birmingham - Leiden #CSC2025 summer school from @drjocutler.bsky.social with her introductory lecture "Introduction to Computational Modelling: Theory"

Evidence-based advice for #CSC2025 participants at the start of @dianatamir.bsky.social’s keynote: over the next few days just get into conversations with people - you’ll probably both enjoy it more than you expected!

Meghna, Lily and Jonny are ready to greet everyone in the Link for our poster reception 👋
