- Reposted by Jeffrey C. ErlichAcross seven incentivized experiments and a large reanalysis, we systematically manipulated the presence and type of post-choice feedback in repeated risky decisions to test whether feedback shapes behavior through learning mechanisms or through anticipatory changes in preferences.

- Good luck!
- News from central Jersey: I'm running to represent New Jersey's 12th Congressional District. By entering the fray, I hope to bring ideas of repairing our frayed republic. Not only to defend it in 2026, but to build something stronger, for generations to come! samwang.substack.com/p/entering-t...

BBSRC opened a survey, which gives us a timely platform. Please fill & share link among colleagues. Deadline: 9/2 engagementhub.ukri.org/mrc-bbsrc/la...

- Happy to contribute to this amazing work from Duan Lab! Mice making economic decisions in an abstract offer space. 🤩
- New preprint from the lab! A frontal motor circuit for economic decisions and actions: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We use a novel task in mice, cortex-wide imaging and optogenetics, NPX recording and modelling to reveal a circuit mechanism that transforms abstract decisions to spatial actions.

- @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social I read your peice www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv.... Surely, one of Sinwar's objectives, which was successfully achieved, was turning Israel into country blinded by revenge, becoming an international pariah and also generally stoking the fires of antisemitism?
- Amazing talk by @franckp.bsky.social at @sainsburywellcome.bsky.social today!
- Delighted to highlight our new paper in @natureportfolio.bsky.social entitled 'Synaptic basis of feature selectivity in hippocampal neurons' (thread below 👇): www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- @bdsmovement.bsky.social is it time to BDS the USA?
- Super excited to share this new work from my collaboration with @annduan.bsky.social. It's the most innovative project I have worked on. We explored the strategies of mice as they raced for visually cued rewards in 'the Octagon'.
- First preprint from our lab! An @jerlich.bsky.social collaboration We developed novel frameworks to study multi-agent decisions in mice. Mice flexibly shift their decision preference under social competition, by integrating real-time self and opponent information! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Also some nice visualisations using @makie.org @julialang.org and dynamical simulations using DifferentialEquations.jl @chrisrackauckas.bsky.social with GLMakie interactivity.
- With meta and google bending over, it's time for an EU social media site to step up! The US is not the world.
- if you are lying in bed at night and think you might smell something burning you might be uncertain of the smell but sure that you should get up to check the stove. We set out to disentangle these different kinds of confidence. nbdt.scholasticahq.com/article/1296...
- When the consequences of a decision are asymmetric perceptual confidence can be low while decision confidence is high. Bayesian Decision Theory tells us how to optimally combine perceptual uncertainty with action dependent costs.
