A copy of "The Self-Evidencing Agent: Mind, Existence, and Predictive Processing" by Jakob Howhy on a plain background. The cover features a simple one-line illustration of a profile of a character painting a line that stems from their foot.

Jakob @hohwy.bsky.social unravels how we understand the mind, cognition, and existence in "The Self-Evidencing Agent," analyzing how human agents perceive and make sense of the world, decide to act, and act of their own volition: bit.ly/4sXomMq

All theory is wrong until verified by data. Greatly indebted to @mhyaghoubi.bsky.social, @markbrandonlab.bsky.social, @douglasresearch.bsky.social for finding the hippocampus encoding reward prediction! Grateful to my advisor @cpehlevan.bsky.social, @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social.

📢Generative Models in Neuroimaging Survey

We’re running a short survey on how neuroimaging (aka #OHBM) community defines, uses & evaluates generative models, from biophysical simulations to ML-based approaches

What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, Al Powers and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

New preprint! We trained an RNN using RL to solve a decision making task used to characterize suboptimal decision making by Schizophrenic patients. First project exploring comp psych models, thanks to @adam-manoogian.bsky.social @shawnrhoadsphd.bsky.social @bqian.bsky.social @cpehlevan.bsky.social

@bqian.bsky.social !

Looks interesting ! @mgkumar138.bsky.social @shawnrhoadsphd.bsky.social @cpehlevan.bsky.social + William Qian

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
