I would be grateful for the retweets. Open PhD position in my group to look at using cognitive computational Neuro approaches to understand motivation.
Funded PhD (UK students only). Interested in a PhD working in @MSNlab, co-supervised by @froemero1? Topic is flexible around themes of motivation and decision-making, using techniques such as computational modelling, brain imaging, or brain stimulation. tinyurl.com/543ucffd

We followed 96 first-year physicians using wearable sleep trackers, electronic diaries

This is unmistakably true. Sleep deprivation degrades the motivation for effort. We choose the easier way out. No other area of decision making is so consistently affected by sleep loss.
🧠💡 The brain's motivation nosedive when sleep-deprived is no joke. Ever felt too tired to even think about working out? That's the brain's way of saying, "I need sleep!" 😴🙅♀️ #SleepAndExercise #MotivationMatters themattwalkerpodcast.buzzspr…

Can sleep be gamified? The Pokemon sleep app is aiming to bring sleep improvement to the masses by converting clocked sleep hours into cute game characters. But does it help to improve sleep?

✅ A nice feature of the game is that it requires you to actually put away your phone for the intended sleep duration, forcing a conscious decision to stop using the phone and preventing the usual mindless pre-sleep scrolling 😅

Utrecht University declines to participate in the World University Rankings 2024. Rankings place disproportionate emphasise on competition and short sighted metrics. UU aims to promote team science and open science practices instead.
What a great move👏 👏 👏!
De @UniUtrecht is niet opgenomen in de World University Ranking 2024. Ze stuurde geen gegevens in. Rankings leggen volgens de UU te veel nadruk op scoren en competitie, terwijl de universiteit juist nadruk wil leggen op samenwerking en open science.dub.uu.nl/nl/nieuws/universi…
