James Swanson, one of the earliest researcher who promoted amphetamines in the 90’, in this piece by @nytimes.com on a.d.h.d. and stimulants. “there is no long-term effect. The only long-term effect that I know of has been the suppression of growth.“

we've seen goal gradient like effects emerge in cognitive effort tasks but how does attention to goal progress ?

a new study from our lab, by Sean Devine and others, uses eyetracking to answer this question

Increased attention towards progress information near a goal state - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
A growing body of evidence across psychology suggests that (cognitive) effort exertion increases in proximity to a goal state. For instance, previous work has shown that participants respond more quic...

Striatal stimulation enhances cognitive control and evidence processing in rodents and humans
Developing an animal model of human brain stimulation therapy reveals that striatal DBS enhances the brain’s ability to process conflicting evidence.

Three new CDML publications to start off 2025!

First up: research on multidimensional control from @davideghez.bsky.social in @naturehumbehav.bsky.social! Across three behavioral experiments and with computational modeling, Davide shows that people adapt control in a distractor-specific fashion.

Gheza and Kool show that, in multidimensional environments, people allocate attention to individual distractors on the basis of their interference with the current task. They develop a neural model th...

We've got an excellent line-up in both philosophy and neuroscience for our first conference! Submit your abstracts by Feb 1 and join us in St. Louis in early May!
😎 SPAN2025 Keynotes, invited symposia speakers, and sponsored symposia just dropped! Take a look at who will be at SPAN2025 and then submit your abstract so you can be there too!

More invited speakers will be announced soon. Visit our website for all the details: philandneuro.com

Great conversations with @ndosenbach.bsky.social while preparing this Nature News & Views on the new Kang et al. Ready to have the same with everyone here. Thoughts? What other practice should be investigated to help BWAS reproducibility?

New preprint!

Our environments are complex and ever changing. We report behavioral data and neural network simulations showing that, in multidimensional environments, humans adapt attentional control in a dimension-specific way.
