How can neurocomputation help us understand gambling addiction? 🎲 Join us next Wednesday at lunch time for a #caiantalk by Prof. Jan Peters ( @peterslab.bsky.social @unicologne.bsky.social) on "Skewed mental models: a neurocomputational perspective on problem gambling."

Audiovisual cues must be predictable and win-paired to drive risky choice elifesciences.org/articles/105...

Audiovisual cues must be predictable and win-paired to drive risky choice
Sensory cues increase risky choice when paired with wins but reduce risky choice when paired with losses, with parallel shifts in sensitivity to negative outcomes.

Out now in @ebiomedicine.bsky.social 🚨. Hunger often affects our mood, but is this a conscious or a subconscious process? Using continuous glucose monitoring, we show that differences in mood are driven by hunger ratings, not just glucose. #neuroskyence 🩺 www.thelancet.com/journals/EBI...

Very happy that this is out www.nature.com/articles/s44.... Together with @stefankiebel.bsky.social we show that decision biases in context-dependent decision making, previously attributed to different forms of value normalization, are very well explained by habit-like action repetition.

Dopamin und das Warten auf Belohnungen🤩🎁 Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass L-DOPA, eine Vorstufe des Neurotransmitters Dopamin, Menschen dazu bringt, länger auf Belohnungen zu warten. Sie zeigt, dass der Effekt einer Verringerung der Impulsivität um etwa 20 % entspricht. ▶️ uni.koeln/WV6NT

‼️New preprint‼️ There does not seem to be an effect of ghrelin on risky decision-making in probability discounting. Not in behaviour, underlying computational processes, or neural activity. More details ⬇️
