🚨🚨New paper! Finally have my first modeling paper is published in CBB. We show that habit-goal interactions can be modeled using a sequential sampling framework. Even for our complex cognitive model, paramter estimation is in principle possible with simulation-based methods.

I was so looking forward to teaching my Thought & Cognition class in person tomorrow, without a camera, for the first time since COVID started. Now students are asking whether I can also stream online as there may be local transport strikes.

If you are an active SSM member, you should by now have received a ballot over email inviting you to vote for a new Secretary-Archivist and Treasurer. Also, you are asked to approve a couple of changes in the bylaws. We need to fulfill a quorum so please take 4 minutes to vote!
