This is one of the most outstanding examples of circuit understanding I've seen in a long time. The unification of theory and experiment is beautiful.
When Malcolm presented this in my lab, the audience was cheering at the end, and one person shouted (non-ironically) "You did it!"

Now out in Cognition, work with the great @gershbrain.bsky.social @tobigerstenberg.bsky.social on formalizing self-handicapping as rational signaling!

Our latest on the cognitive science of LLMs! To be presented @CogSci2025 🎉
LLMs are increasingly involved in human collaborations. How do LLMs assign responsibility and reward to collaborators? Is it similar to how humans do it? 🤖🧑

Really excited about this project, and thanks so much to my wonderful collaborators @gershbrain.bsky.social @tobigerstenberg.bsky.social for making this happen! Some main takeaways in thread 🧵 (1/5)
It was such a pleasure to work on this project with Yang and Sam! 🙏
The paper develops a signaling theory of self-handicapping, tests it in two novel experiments, and shows how it explains some earlier findings, too.
