Out today in @royalsociety open science coauthored with our *first* Ecobrain students and supervisors. The paper presents our take on Real-World Cognitive Science/ Neuroscience. doi.org/10.1098/rsos.240762 @UCLBrainScience @UCLPALS

Ecological brain: reframing the study of human behaviour and cognition

Abstract. The last decade has seen substantial advances in the capacity to record behaviour and neural activity in humans in real-world settings, to simula

New Ecobrain work!
George Blackburne@rhizoqualia8 Oct 2024
Ever wondered what happens in the brain when someone takes the world’s most powerful psychedelic drug?🧐Me too! So we went and found out. Our new preprint is now live where you can read all about it: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Do large language models have a legal duty to tell the truth?

Careless speech is a new type of harm created by large language models (LLM) that poses cumulative, long-term risks to science, education and shared social truth in democratic societies. LLMs produce...

My final morning in Melbourne. Our paper at @ACMMobileHCI received an honourable mention! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project. If you’re interested in how people can re-imagine and change both technologies and themselves, give it a read dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36764…

Very proud to see this paper in @eLife! Great PhD work by @ViktorKewenig. Perhaps the first study (!?) that looks at word processing across situated and displaced contexts in naturalistic language. @ECOLOGICALBRAIN @LeverhulmeTrust

V happy that this study is now published in @eLife with nice reviews and a wonderful editorial assessment. Quantifying multimodal context (of spoken language) in naturalistic stimuli is not an easy task, but we hope this can provide some inspiration. 🧵elifesciences.org/reviewed-p…

Amazing work by our PhD students and supervisors!!!
UCL Brain Sciences@UCLBrainScience16 Sep 2024
Last week, neuroscientists at @UCLPALS and architects joined forces to study how people navigate built environments...by creating life-size simulations of the real world in an enormous laboratory! Read more! bit.ly/4d2GviU

Neuroscientists and architects are using this enormous laboratory to make buildings better

Creating life-size simulations of the real world can reveal how we, and our minds, respond to the environments around us—and could shape the future of architecture.

Our paper on a game-theoretic agent-based approach to conflict modelling is now out in PLOS ONE.
Olivia Macmillan-Scott@olivia_macs6 Jun 2024
Very excited to see this paper out! We use an agent-based model (ABM) rooted in game theory to study the microdynamics of conflict in northeastern Syria. We focus on retaliation and reciprocity between ISIS and Kurdish forces. @AkinUnver @mircomusolesi dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…

Two papers out on the same day! Using tasks from cognitive psychology we evaluate 7 LLMs and show that they display irrationality, but not in the same way humans do. They are often incorrect in ways that differ from human-like biases. @mircomusolesi royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

How might our everyday actions change perception? Out today @NatureComms we show that walking rhythmically modulates how sensitive we are to the environment. The latest from my final days as a postdoc with @DAVElab at @UsydPsych OA paper: rdcu.be/dAAgE 🧵 1/7
