Sad to be missing AMLaP, home with some surprise COVID, but very thankful to my co-author Laura Pissani for going solo on our Saturday talk on diffusion models for the Maze task! For anyone else stuck at home, let me tell you here about what we've learned by modeling Maze RTs as decision-making.

Overjoyed to share that this coming fall, I'll be joining UCLA Linguistics as an assistant professor of psycholinguistics!

What’s Surprising About Surprisal - Computational Brain & Behavior
In the computational and experimental psycholinguistic literature, the mechanisms behind syntactic structure building (e.g., combining words into phrases and sentences) are the subject of considerable...

(2) In Jan, I will be moving to Germany (!) to join Vera Demberg's lab at Saarland as a post-doc, studying (& modeling) individual differences in pragmatic processing Couldn't be more excited!
