Misspecified models create the appearance of adaptive control during value-based choice - Communications Psychology In a new computational analysis of previous work, this study shows that a control-free mechanism better accounts for value-based decisions than an account that assumes top-down control invigorating th...

Final paper of my PhD 🤗

There is growing interest in how cognitive control may improve value-based decision making.

However, we find that a recent paper overestimated the role of control in their task, leading to erroneous interpretations of dACC recordings.

I might have a bit of a Stockholm syndrome with matplotlib, but if you can easily call MNE I'm convinced!

Does anyone have experience/resources on how to build interactive #statistics assignments in #R on a distributed computing server (e.g. running #Rstudio server) for more than 500 students?

New PhD and post-doc job openings!

Join me and Prof. Nina Kazanina @ Uni Geneva, Switzerland, to take part in an exciting project on relations and binding in language and vision, explored with cutting-edge neurophysiology (#iEEG and MEG).

Full details in the job offer below.

Must... Resist... To recode all my python things in Julia to work on main projects... But maybe the speed increase could compensate the invested time?

Any alternative experience on why I should not do it?

We are hiring! We are looking for a postdoc to join our group.

Join us to study how the human brain processes and recognizes music with iEEG recordings.

Please share and apply!

YouTube video by Andrew Perfors Part 1: How do LLMs work?

I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. 😊

Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.

Interpreting EEG requires understanding how the skull smears electrical fields as they propagate from the cortex. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how dipole depth/orientation change the topomap.

Hello friends! In 2025 I wrote 5 grants and aiming to keep it up in the new year! Anyone willing to share a Dutch Research Council VENI FULL proposal example with me? (especially a successful one from recent years?) #neuroskyence #cogsci #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #Psychiatry #Netherlands #VENI 🙏🙏🙏

Poster presenting the Hidden multivariate pattern method in the context of reaction time based tasks. The poster features three panels, a central column covering the problem where we show that average event related potentials don't allow to infer the time of underlying singe-trial events. The left-most column presents the hidden multivariate pattern method with the method's expectation, estimation and assumptions (associated paper describing the method is https://doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00400). The right-most column presents three applications, two applications on classical EEG ERP paradigms: odd-ball/P3 and visual search/N2pc (also described in https://doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00400), and one application in decision-making (https://elifesciences.org/articles/108049). The poster also links to the github repo of the HMP python package (https://github.com/GWeindel/hmp).

With alt-text sorry

I'll be presenting this poster on the 14th of January at the Alpine Brain Imaging Conference in Champéry 🇨🇭🧠. Come by if you're around (if not too bad there will be plenty of snow ⛷️)!

Feeling previous-postdoc-home sick now

Really beautiful + elegant study: theory, psychophysics, and careful behavioral modeling lead to super clean dissection of #EEG topographies during perceptual decision making.

Crazy variance makes sense when you have the framework and predictors to explain it!

I agree but I'm a bit biased!

Wow thank you for these nice compliments! It's definitely a paper where we put a lot of efforts

Great, looking forward!

That's very very timely (pun intended)! Can I already do topographical cluster analyses with this method? (i.e. topographies at a single time point across epochs and participants
?)
