In new work with Eric Du's lab at UF, my lab has been having discussions about how to improve trust calibration and optimize joint decisions with AI agents. We have some thoughts on these topics that we would love feedback on: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/xy…

anyone interested in working on analysis of *directed* graphs of whole brain networks (at the region-to-region level, i.e. high SNR fMRI data in mice)? e.g. making predictions using network control theory & testing them? we're hiring. ping me at [email protected]

in other words, we're looking for someone either good at working w/ animals, or technically good w/ fMRI troubleshooting (but maybe sick of the intrinsically limited SNR of human imaging ;-), or both, to join us.
thanks to the great colleagues at @CNIR_IBS, settling in Korea has been going well. it's time to hire! we're looking for postdocs, grad students, & RAs, to work on projects like e.g. inducing blindsight in NHP via electrical microstimulations, or similarly via optogenetics ... 1/

Multiple job openings in brain and cognitive science at MIT! One is for experimentalists studying neural circuits for cognition, a second targets computational neuroscientists, and a third is aimed at computational cognitive scientists. Deadline is Nov 15. Links in next tweet...

Happy to share our latest publication, out now in @CognitionJourn, where we find that metacognitive self-beliefs are updated in a suprisingly domain-specific manner. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Please note that the system has a glitch that is omitting my name from the list of faculty reviewing applications. Please select Professor Aaron Fisher instead and use the text box to specify what you want to be considered for my lab. I look forward to reviewing those apps!

I am thrilled to review applications for the Clinical Science program at @BerkeleyPsych! Our work focuses on mental health equity, risk and resilience, data-driven ways to culturally adapt EBTs, and digital interventions. Please spread the word! tinyurl.com/GRUCB

Finding $$$ for consciousness research in the USA is challenging. In this short piece, @noraabradford, @angelaashen, @meganakpeters and I discuss the TWCF-supported "Fund Consciousness Science!" project and talk about its motivation, execution, & outcomes rdcu.be/dWVFk

This illusion – one of the best of the last few years – will really mess with your head. How many black dots are there? The answer is 12, but your visual system won’t let you see them all at once. stevestewartwilliams.com/p/1…

Excited about this new paper! Suppose you lost half a field of view, or color vision, would you notice? In a new paper in @TrendsCognSci, we show that you probably wouldn’t! You can find out more about those striking failures of visual metacognition here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jsFQ….

Love seeing illusions from the caplovitz lab (my undergrad lab) in the wild
The orange dot NEVER CHANGES SIZE The dynamic Ebbinghaus illusion, by Blair, Caplovitz and Mruczek. Particularly compelling with two instances playing out of phase with one another
