And a final shout out to the rest of the editors (Magnus Ressel, Susanne Fehlings, Iris Bibli, Stanislau Paulau and Katharina Welling) and to Sophie Nolden for the illustrations. Big thanks to the Johanna Quandt Young Academy for funding this exciting project.

Second, a more down-to-earth combination in which @tamaraehs.bsky.social, @rikkidean.bsky.social and I reflect on the potentials and pitfalls of AI for Democracy. Much has changed in the AI-sphere since we wrote it but many of our concerns remain! - AI in Politics: Repairing Democratic Connections?

Shameless promotion of two chapters where I take part: First, a very fun mix in which Sebastian Eckart and I try to combine Cognitive Science with Quantum Mechanics - If You Keep Asking (the Same) Questions, You Will Get the Same Answers. Linking the Quantum Zeno Effect and Psychological Anchoring

Very happy to finally see this out! A while ago I had the wonderful opportunity to meet an awesome group of scientists from very diverse fields, interested in exchanging thoughts, experiences and ideas. In this book, we collect some of these exchanges as a celebration the richness of science.

A few weeks ago our project CONNECTS was featured in @canalsurradiotv.bsky.social. The full video is now available in YouTube (link below). Thank you very much to the ConCiencia team for their amazing Science Outreach work!

👩‍💻 New preprint out (FIRST one of my PhD journey) with the incredible @lindedomingo.bsky.social @ortiztudela.bsky.social @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social

"From sudden perceptual learning to enduring engrams: A representational perspective" 🧠

doi.org/10.31234/osf...

How do the brain’s event representations change as we gain familiarity with an experience?

Brain regions’ representations can become coarser or finer as event familiarity increases. Fine-tuning predicts memory recall.

Excited to share this work with Narjes Al-Zahli & @chrisbaldassano.bsky.social!

Successful prediction of the future enhances encoding of the present.

I am so delighted that this work found a wonderful home at Open Mind. The peer review journey was a rollercoaster but it *greatly* improved the paper.

🚨 We’re hiring a postdoc!
Join the FLARE project @cimcyc.bsky.social to study sudden perceptual learning using fMRI, RSA, and DNNs.
🧠 2 years, fully funded, flexible start
More info 👉 gonzalezgarcia.github.io/postdoc/

DMs or emails welcome! Please share!

We're eager for feedback and contributors to improve and enhance this guide. Do reach out!

Thrilled to share this resource: if you have a Psychology/CogNeuro background and you are considering embracing coding into your workflow, this guide is for you (or your students in this situation!). Thanks to @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social for leading this initiative!

🧠💻 We (a bunch of colleagues at @cimcyc.bsky.social) just released a programming guide for psych & cog neuro students. Instead of a tutorial, this is a starting point: a collection of reflections, examples, and recommendations.

👉 Still growing, but ready to explore: wobc.github.io/programming_book/

Remember that tomorrow we have a special #CIMCYCSession with @pakitochus.bsky.social from @dasciinst.bsky.social

You can connect online! All information on our website👇

Recordatorio de que esto es la semana que viene!!

Muchísimas ganas de que @aliciafrancomnez.bsky.social nos hable de este proyecto tan chulo.

El enlace de la reunión podréis encontrarlo aquí o uniéndoos a la lista de correo! 👉 t.co/daiNcf7ZaB

If you haven't been looking recently at the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science (oecs.mit.edu), here's your reminder that we are a free, open access resource for learning about the science of mind.

Today we are launching our new Thematic Collections to organize our growing set of articles!

Very excited to share our new preprint on visual ambiguity resolution. Check it out 👇

How can we resolve ambiguous visual input? To answer this question, Mooney images meets THINGS and large scale behavior! Amazing effort by an amazing crew in Granada, and happy to play a small part in it!

New preprint! 🚨→ Determinants of Visual Ambiguity Resolution. A new work with @ortiztudela.bsky.social @jvoeller.bsky.social @martinhebart.bsky.social and @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social

We created ~2k images and collected ~100k responses to study visual ambiguity.
