Thanks for the shout out. We’re very excited about this collaborative study with @wouterkool, S. Chakravarthy (IIT, Madras), CJ Hammond (JHU), and @VincGFiore where we report lack of reward value based modulation in model-based and model-free control in frequent alcohol users.

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

So, how did astrologers do overall? If they'd gotten even 23% of questions right (slightly above the 20% of random guessing), the study would have come out in favor of astrology. But astrologers as a group performed indistinguishable from random guessing, getting < 21% right.

Honored to receive a NARSAD Young Investigator Award by @BBRFoundation. The grant award will allow me to investigate the neuronal mechanisms of intertemporal discounting in NHPs, mentored by Camillo Padoa-Schipppa, paving the way to understand impulsive and addictive behaviors.

Our study on reward and effort signals in PFC theta and basal ganglia beta is now out in @PNASNews! Big thanks to the team (esp @coradehemptinne and @littleneuro), reviewers, and patients. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23… Data: osf.io/jq6z4/ Code: github.com/hoycw/PRJ_OFC_squ…
My 1st postdoc preprint! iEEG dissociates reward/effort in PFC theta/BG beta during decisions + PFC stim boosts reward effect on choice. Huge thanks: @coradehemptinne & @littleneuro for heavy lifting early on & Sarah Wang, @OxfordPERL, @brain_apps, @MasudHusain, Philip Starr!🧵⤵️

Just shouting out that, due to a speaker being unable to make it to this excellent session, @AtaBK from my lab will be stepping in this morning to give a talk about how cognitive maps enable goal-directed decisions! Behavior, computational modeling, fMRI. Come check it out!

The cost of asthma inhalers in the U.S. is unconscionable. Together, we must take on corporate greed and substantially lower prices for these inhalers which are a life and death product for many Americans.
