I love this project, which feels like it opens many doors.

Looking for a distraction (for some reason)? May I interest you in this cool new paper on "Blending simulation and abstraction for physical reasoning"? (by Sosa, Gershman, and me) paper link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… OSF: osf.io/preprints/psya…

I'm hiring a postdoc to work with me on problems related to meta-learning and probabilistic representation learning in the brain. Perks: i) the amazing research community at @bcm_neurosci and @RiceNeuro. ii) Houston food is DELICIOUS (and cheap) jobs.bcm.edu/job/Postdoctor…

@yyyxiang has a new paper with me and @kevin_dorst showing that you don't find a gambler's fallacy in probability judgments (by you do in point predictions): osf.io/preprints/psya… This dissociation suggests that the gambler's fallacy doesn't arise from probabilistic reasoning.

I think my point here has been misunderstood by most commentators. Obviously I agree that ephys is a more direct measure of spiking activity. Let me try to clarify...

Papers that report neuronal recordings sometimes say that they provide "direct" evidence for neural encoding of something, in contrast to "indirect" methods such as non-invasive brain imaging. I don't really understand this. What makes one "direct" and the other "indirect"?
