One initial line of defense could be to require transparency statements regarding how instruments have been vetted to combat malicious users, based on best practices (like a STAR editor check). In a recent workshop, we aimed to create such a compendium (see @andreaaaaa.bsky.social for access)!

Agreed. Team has been working to create a system for data validation for online research based on the collective effort from our workshop at SJDM this year. Stay tuned!

There's hope! This is an adversarial game, researchers will need to continuously innovate to stay ahead

@kiante.bsky.social @andreaaaaa.bsky.social & @jbogard.bsky.social ran an excellent workshop at #SJDM2025 to help folks get started

New paper in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social, where we show how attention impacts political choices. With an eye-tracking study, we find that people's votes aren't set in stone - they take longer to vote on divisive issues and can be swayed by gaze manipulations. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Thanks again to the Society for Judgment and Decision Making for helping continue the discussion on creating a system for data validation in the age of accessible bots in online research. Looking forward to continuing the conversation with the community!

Shared computations underlie how we acquire actions that are mutually beneficial, instrumentally harmful (benefits self at the expense of others), altruistic (benefit others at the expense of self), or mutually costly

@lauraaberner.bsky.social @kiante.bsky.social

Neural coding of choice and outcome are modulated by uncertainty in orbitofrontal but not secondary motor cortex - Nature Communications Neural mechanisms underlying flexible learning and decision-making are not fully understood. Using single-cell calcium imaging, authors here found that neurons in orbitofrontal and secondary motor cortex exhibit complementary roles in reward learning, with neurons in the former exerting a sustained role in conditions of uncertainty.

🎇 Excited to finally share JL Romero Sosa’s publication! Results are from single-cell imaging in different subregions of rat frontal cortex during ✨de novo learning. Spoiler: everything is not everywhere all at once www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Awesome new preprint from @jasonleng.bsky.social!

Deadlines in decision making often truncate too-slow responses. Failing to account for these omissions can (severely) bias your DDM parameter estimates.

They offer a great solution to correct for this issue.
