Common neural choice signals reflect accumulated evidence, not confidence! Now out in @cerebralcortex.bsky.social w @helenevanmarcke.bsky.social @pierreledenmat.bsky.social @yfvisser.bsky.social @denizerdil.bsky.social a.o.

Companion piece in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social to our recent @nathumbehav.nature.com paper, in which we put our "Social feature learning" model of social learning strategies in context.

🎊 New paper out! In this @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social Forum, we (with @lucasmolleman.bsky.social and @bjornlindstrom.bsky.social) summarize how reward learning can lead to adaptive social learning. We also explore the broader consequences for cultural evolution:

This research advances a mechanistic reward learning account of social learning strategies. Through experiments and simulations, it shows how individuals learn to learn from others, dynamically shapin...

Ever wondered if you were aware of your own biases? Us too! If you're attending #RLDM2025, stop by poster #92 on Friday to learn how we tested insight into perceptual decision biases using (hierarchical) drift diffusion modelling. Work with @kobedesender.bsky.social, Peter Murphy & Hanne Daenen.

The second @rldmdublin2025.bsky.social poster from the lab is by fantastic PhD student Shen Tian. Using modeling and experiments, he investigated the key role of semantic knowledge in a complex innovation task (originated by @maximederex.bsky.social). On Thursday, poster #86

PhD position in cognitive computational neuroscience! Join us, & investigate how we can endow domain-specific models of vision (eg DNNs) with domain-general processes such as metacognition or working memory.

Why does it feel good to be sure? In new work @voalan.bsky.social @andero.bsky.social and I bridge confidence and affect. In perceptual DM, we found a remarkably consistent association between both measures! ↓↓↓

Metacognitive confidence and affect – two sides of the same coin?
Decision confidence is a prototypical metacognitive representation that is thought to approximate the probability that a decision is correct. The perception of being correct has also been associate...

Optimal confidence = P(correct|evidence, time), but how do humans compute this? @pierreledenmat.bsky.social Tom Verguts and I provide a low-dimensional approximation of optimal confidence (the LDC model).
