🚨 New preprint! 🚨
Very happy to share our latest work on metacognition with M. Rouault, A. McWilliams, F. Chartier, @kndiaye.bsky.social and @smfleming.bsky.social where we identify contributors to self-performance estimates across memory and perception domains 👇

New pontification piece with @awestbrook.bsky.social and Jean Daunizeau, just out in TICS:
Why is cognitive effort experienced as costly?
(or why does it hurt to think)
never written a review paper before in my life, that was a new and unusual experience

Why is cognitive effort experienced as costly?
A widespread observation is that people avoid mentally effortful courses of action,
and much recent work examining cognitive effort has explained subjective effort evaluation
– and, consequently, pref...

So happy this paper is now out in @plosbiology.org! We investigated whether fluctuations in MEPs can be explained by phasic influences from internal bodily rhythms, and whether this might happen independently per organ system.

How do internal bodily rhythms influence #brain activity & motor function? @tahnee-engelen.bsky.social &co show that #cardiac, #respiratory & #gastric rhythms independently modulate motor excitability, revealing distinct #interoceptive profiles across individuals @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nMtpLT

Self-esteem modulates beneficial causal attributions in the formation of novel self-beliefs
Healthy individuals typically attribute successes to internal causes, such as their abilities, and failures to external factors, like bad luck. In contrast, individuals with depression and low self-es...

Very excited for @cogcompneuro.bsky.social, where I will present two nice ongoing projects!
On Tuesday, meet me at poster A105 to learn about a huge value-learning dataset we are putting together (so far 3800 human subjects). Turns out, range adaptation is all the rage!
