Beyond excited that our paper “The consequences of AI training on human decision making” has been published in @PNASNews (pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…) with #CJHo and @wouterkool. We report 5 experiments that show people change their behavior when training AI.

So honored to have had the opportunity to present at @hcomp_conf on our paper “Humans forgo reward to instill fairness on AI with #CJHo and @wouterkool. We show that people give up money to train artificial intelligence (AI) to be fair ojs.aaai.org/index.php/HCOMP…

New preprint! doi.org/10.1101/2023.09.04.5… Our environments are complex and ever changing. We report behavioral data and neural network simulations showing that, in multidimensional environments, humans adapt attentional control in a dimension-specific way. w/@wouterkool ↓ 1/11

#CNS2023 First public appearance of the MULTIdimensional task-set interference paradigm from @cdmlab. Poster D40. It already speaks and tells you stories about how you deal with distractors in a complex environment, with EEG & RSA. with @wouterkool & @TheaZalabak

My lab is recruiting graduate students this cycle! We are a young lab with a broad range of interests spanning cognitive control, learning, and decision making. I'd love to hear from excited new researchers with an interest in grad school! cdmlab.wustl.edu RTs appreciated!

Come and check out our new posters on opportunistic exploration (@jbdolg with @bettina_nb and @NRDlab) and on the effect of model-based planning on other effortful tasks (@DavideGhez) at the 2021 Workshop on Mental Effort, starting today! #MentalEffort2021 @EffortMental

I'm presenting Friday @EffortMental about exploration vs exploitation! Addresses when people explore, as opposed to simply whether to do so. We found evidence for exploitation about exploration—pass or pounce on exploration now depending on expectations for future opportunities.

As part of her onboarding in the @cdmlab, @bettina_nb did a wonderful job re-writing the two-step tasks we often use in our online research to be compatible with @joshdeleeuw's latest version of jsPsych. We are now releasing them for everyone on the OSF: osf.io/g2suz/.

I know there are much bigger things these days (and probably other days, too), but- I'll be joining @wouterkool for graduate school in @WUSTL's Psychological & Brain Sciences Ph.D. program. Couldn't be more excited!

How does methylphenidate enhance cognitive performance? In a preprint we describe convergent PET, drug, and eye-gaze evidence that higher striatal dopamine boosts motivation for cognitive effort by increasing sensitivity to the benefits-vs-costs of action: disq.us/t/3igruie
