iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

We, the Natural Decision Making Group and the Embodied Decision Making Group, are joining forces to establish the CMC Unit, a joint research unit to uncover computational, biological, and ecological principles underlying adaptive decision-making. You can read more about us here: cmc-unit.org

If you’re attending #BernsteinConference, don’t miss our contributed talk today on how considering embodied constraints (motor control + homeostasis) affects decision making during foraging!

If you’re interested in how to identify behaviorally relevant dynamic modes in continuous time naturalistic tasks without any pre-defined trial structure make sure to check @maxschwabe.bsky.social’s poster today at #BernsteinConference.

IV-74 (Wed, Sep. 30, 14:00): @maxschwabe.bsky.social will present how decomposing neural dynamics to intrinsic and input-driven modes can tell us how naturalistic decision computations are realized in the RNNs. abstracts.g-node.org/conference/B...

How do internal states shape foraging, decisions, and adaptation in a changing world? 🧠🌍 @clairesturgill.bsky.social and I are organizing a #BernsteinConference satellite workshop bringing together lab and wild perspectives on adaptive behavior. Join us 😉

Exciting!!! This is exactly the kind of question I think is incredibly interesting and timely right now. Really looking forward to seeing what comes out of this project. If you’re thinking about a PhD/postdoc in computational neuroscience/NeuroAI, definitely worth checking out!
