How do we predict what others will do next? 🤔
We look for patterns. But what are the limits of this ability?
In our new paper at CCN 2025 (@cogcompneuro.bsky.social), we explore the computational constraints of human pattern recognition using the classic game of Rock, Paper, Scissors 🗿📄✂️

Awesome work led by @kristinezheng.bsky.social on how we can predict learning in data science classes.
Data science is a field that should be accessible and understandable for everyone, but many people struggle with it.
Come check out Kristine's poster at CogSci this week to learn about why :)
Linking student psychological orientation, engagement & learning in intro college-level data science

Really fun project spearheaded by @veronateo.bsky.social, come check out our poster at CogSci!
Excited to share our new work at #CogSci2025!

We explore how people plan deceptive actions, and how detectives try to see through the ruse and infer what really happened based on the traces left behind. 🕵️‍♀️

This is heartbreaking and barbaric
yesterday, my postdoc funding (salary and research funds) was cancelled by the National Science Foundation, effective immediately. I received the same generic, vaguely threatening, typo-ridden email as many of my colleagues who have had their awards terminated recently. (1/n)
