A new preprint, co-authored with @johnwkrakauer.bsky.social:
The Deliberation Taboo
Cognitive science is, nominally, the science of thinking. We argue that the field has no theory of what thinking is and, even worse, that the topic has largely dropped out of focus. 1/

Yes, a whole chapter on free will, quite focused on Dennett. Great book!
The meaning of science #lecturasMV Todavía no me he topado con ningún libro de la colección Pelican que sea aburrido o malo. Lo mejor de este es el capítulo dedicado a Thomas Kuhn, que cuestiona algunas de las interpretaciones más extremas y relativistas de la teoría de las revoluciones científicas.

Lo buscaré. Lo cierto es que el estilo me ha encantado. Pero creo que el libro me ha pillado a contrapié.
La balada del café triste #lecturasMV El estilo narrativo de McCullers es inigualable. Con todo, no he conseguido entrar en ninguna de las historias que componen el volumen, con la posible excepción de Wunderkid. Le daré otra oportunidad dentro de un tiempo.
The road to conscious machines #lecturasMV Excelente introducción a la historia de la IA y los desafíos que plantea. Me convence poco el capítulo final sobre si las máquinas serán conscientes algún día. Pero no le quita mérito al libro.
New preprint and simulator of associative learning attentional models. Have fun! 👁️

Por cierto, he escrito un libro para el CIS de Sociología Experimental. Si os interesa adentraros en el mundo de la experimentación con un enfoque muy aplicado, es vuestro libro. Teoría, ejemplos didácticos, explicaciones sin muchos rollos.

Rubia de verano #lecturasMV Todo un bestiario de mezquindades y miserias postadolescentes. No me ha vuelto loco, pero el retrato de los personajes es bastante profundo, teniendo en cuenta que se trata de relatos muy breves.
My pleasure, Pablo! Congratulations!
The University of Cambridge has an exciting Assistant, Associate, and Full Professorship of Public Policy open in the new Bennett School of Public Policy. It's a fantastic group with great people, they have a focus on digital policy too! Area open.

We thought we could address big social problems by steering individual behaviour. But "nudging" people doesn't work, say behavioural scientists Nick Chater and George Loewenstein
Brilliant piece of work on methodological problems in the simulation of synaptic plasticity and silent working memory by @igcastillejo.bsky.social Don't miss it!
