🧠 Happy to share our preprint: “The developmental trajectories of generalization and discrimination in reinforcement learning reflect multiple underlying cognitive processes” 👉 osf.io/preprints/ps...
[1/N]🧵

I'm looking for a postdoc interested in computational cognitive modeling and deep reinforcement learning!

Submit a CV and references here: apply.interfolio.com/150309

Intended starting date is early Fall 2024

Please share with anyone who might be interested!

Hey folks! New SRO app just dropped! My branch is hiring (Aging and Neurodegeneration) so feel free to reach out with any questions!

Stanford started a pre-doc program and several faculty in psych (incl. myself) are recruiting: iriss.stanford.edu/predoc

Great opportunity to get more research experience before starting a PhD!

App deadline is Feb 29.

Info about my lab's research: cicl.stanford.edu

Please share 🙏

🧵 1/8 🚨 New #preprint alert! 🚨 This new study by @gershbrain.bsky.social and I is the first to directly test the predictions of our policy compression model, which describes how capacity-limited agents trade reward for simpler policies to reduce cognitive cost psyarxiv.com/rnz72

Albert Qu in Linda Wilbrecht's lab at UC Berkeley has posted a new preprint on striatal dopamine during learning:

The key takeaway is that a Bayesian reinforcement learning model provided a better match to the data compared to non-Bayesian alternatives.

If you know any undergrads who would like to do something very adventurous next summer (experiments on learning in single cell organisms), have them get in touch with me.

One more week to apply for our joint faculty position in Princeton Neuroscience Institute and Computer Science Dept, in neuroAI and intelligent systems, broadly construed. Do you fit? Yes. But feel free to contact me with q's. puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/app...

Reminder - it's 80 degrees and clear skies today, November 9th, in Southern California. Oh, and - there's one week left to apply to join us here!

hello bluesky! i'm dr. rachel lee now
