Next week UK Govt will rush Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill through the House of Commons
The Bill will give Police more powers to clamp down on peaceful protests
Scenes in Clapham tonight must be a wake-up call to us all

Our review article is on PsyArXiv: Normative principles for decision-making in natural environments
Why is the human mind "like an enchanted glass, full of superstition and imposture" (Francis Bacon)?? @PParpart and I try to answer here: psyarxiv.com/s2wvz. Comment and critique most welcome.
Our research on gambling and objective banking data is published in @NatureHumBehav 🙂
Gambling is associated with higher mortality, financial difficulties and lower health and well-being. key findings below ⏬

Studying #chaos in the #brain: for the last day of our Complex Systems Summer School, this group presented on using dynamic #computation to model the brain's #memory-encoding processes.

#Economics tends to study #decisionmaking as if we have unlimited #information & #attention. But we don't. Can we explain "irrational" behaviors as the output of the brain's attempts at efficient encoding?
Today at the Complex Systems Summer School 2019 final talks:

Enjoying presenting at the Complex Systems Summer school at the @sfiscience! Its been incredibly awesome!😀

awesome work on how human learning and generalization can aid machine learning. xitter.cf/summerfieldlab/status/…
why do humans succeed when performing multiple successive tasks, but machine learning systems fail? check out our new preprint "Focused learning promotes continual task performance in humans" biorxiv.org/content/early/20… by @timoflesch
Our paper got accepted at Cognitive Psychology - both reviewers suggested acceptance without revisions. This was a first time for the Editor (and us!) couldnt be more happy about this:)
