📢 Out now in PLOS Comp Biol: **cpm** — a Python library for theory-driven modelling in computational psychiatry. No scikit-learn for mechanistic cognitive models — so we built one: RL, prospect-theory & metacognition, hierarchical Bayes, and as many more as you can code 🔗 doi.org/10.1371/jour...

I am super thrilled to announce that I have been awarded an @erc.europa.eu Consolidator Grant to build novel interventions for #OCD. The plan is to exploit recent insights from computational neuroscience and closely work together with people with lived experience of OCD to create novel treatments.

5/6 In short: 💡 Rewards can encourage approach toward out-groups ❌ But they don’t easily alter underlying impressions This highlights both the promise and limits of non-social reinforcers in reducing social intergroup biases.

Jasper Bischofberger @jasbisch.gitlab.io · 17/09/2025
4/6 Our key findings: - An initial in-group bias in approach behaviour and impression ratings ✅ - Rewarding out-group approach reduced this bias ✅ - People learned more from rewards than punishments ✅ - But… impressions of the out-group remained unchanged ❎

3/6 We ran three #preregistered online studies using a new #approach-avoidance learning task: ➡️ Participants moved a manikin towards or away from symbols (representing members of their in-group or out-group) and earned money depending on their choices. Would rewards shift biases?

Jasper Bischofberger @jasbisch.gitlab.io · 17/09/2025
2/6 In a #social #intergroup context, humans often show #in-group biases: - More likely to approach - More positive impressions of individuals from their own group compared to others. But can #learning from external rewards/punishments reduce these biases?

🥳 Super excited that today the first paper of my PhD has been published in @royalsociety.org: doi.org/10.1098/rsos... Can learning from rewards and punishments change how people approach (or avoid) in-group vs. out-group members? Read the thread below! 🧵 1/6

Learning from financial rewards and punishments reduces the in-group bias in social approach without changing the in-group bias in impressions | Royal Society Open Science
Humans’ approach behaviour and impressions are biased towards individuals from their own group (in-group) compared with different groups (out-group). There is evidence that learning from specific interactions with in-group and out-group members can reduce ...

Why it is time to say goodbye to Germany as an oasis of stability, and why ironically it was JD Vance in Munich who might have helped the centrist parties to get a grip now after all. My take on the most important elections in a generation on Sunday in Berlin. 👇👇

The far right rising
Ahead of a historic German election, the AfD is courting the global right – and threatening to upend European politics.
