- Exciting PhD and postdoc opportunities on the cognitive neuroscience of language at Uni Geneva!!!
- Last Thursday was a day that will be hard to forget. Despite the characteristically cold Hanseatic morning, the lecture theatre at the UKE was buzzing with people who came to watch Maryam Tohidi, my very first PhD student, defending her work.
- Maryam breezed through her presentation with ease and answered some difficult questions with confidence (even used the whiteboard to sketch some answers!).
- At the end, surrounded by her friends, Maryam rose to reflect on the difficult days she and her family back in Iran had been through in the last few weeks.

- 🎓Fully-funded PhD studentship in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience!!! Join @seanfw.bsky.social and myself at @tcddublin.bsky.social for a PhD at the intersection of cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience (OPM-MEG) and neuro-AI. 🗓 Deadline: 5 Feb 2026 #neurojobs #neuroscience #compneuro
- Project: Cross-species mechanisms of evidence accumulation along prefrontal cortical gradients. Jointly supervised (50/50) by Dr Seán Froudist-Walsh and Prof. Konstantinos Tsetsos.
- Mice often integrate evidence optimally, while humans show recency biases. Are mice really better decision-makers—or do experiments engage different brain systems across species?

- Excited to announce that this November I will be joining Trinity College Dublin @tcddublin.bsky.social as Professor in Cognitive & Decision Sciences, based in the Institute of Neuroscience and the School of Psychology 🇮🇪
- I have appreciated my time at the University of Bristol, where I met excellent colleagues and students. With support from a European Research Council ( @erc.europa.eu) Consolidator Grant, I will launch a new research programme on the computational and neural mechanisms of preference variability.
- This programme will benefit from Trinity's outstanding neuroimaging facilities, including a cutting-edge OPM-MEG system—one of the first in Europe. PhD and postdoc recruitment will begin soon (details to follow). If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please get in touch!

Binz et al. (in press, Nature) developed an LLM called Centaur that better predicts human responses in 159 of 160 behavioural experiments compared to existing cognitive models. See: arxiv.org/abs/2410.20268 - Reposted by Konstantinos TsetsosNeedless bureaucracy and “bullshit jobs” are preventing academics from fulfilling their core creative responsibilities and making clinical research an “impossible task”, a leading neuroscientist has warned. @patrickjack.bsky.social reports #AcademicSky
- Excited to share a new paper by @maryamtohidi.bsky.social on how a third inferior alternative influences human value learning 👇
- Thrilled to share my first post here with something I’m truly proud of; My PhD paper is finally out in @commspsychol.bsky.social. Thanks to amazing @ktsetsos.bsky.social for his wise insights and our reviewers for their constructive comments. You can read the full paper here: rdcu.be/eguDX 1/10
- Deeply honoured to receive an #ERCCoG ERC Consolidator Grant to explore the Dynamics of Attribute Weighting in Multiattribute Choice. Grateful to my amazing ERC StG team: @ycaoneuro.bsky.social, @marcussiems.bsky.social , Maryam Tohidi, Molly Stapleton for their support and trust. 🙏@ERC_Research
- Reposted by Konstantinos Tsetsos@ktsetsos.bsky.social and I wrote a new Perspective paper: osf.io/preprints/ps... We've long known that decisions can be biased by normatively irrelevant factors. But how do these biases arise in the brain?
