I'm so impressed with all that's going on at @sinaibrain.bsky.social. Here are 5 highlights. 1. @bshev.bsky.social ++ are measuring dopamine and serotonin *in living human brains* and using them to predict treatment outcomes. Wow. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Dopamine and serotonin transients predict depressive symptom relief following deep brain stimulation of human subcallosal cingulate cortex

As we argued in earlier work, we can benefit from extending tasks to more naturalistic settings. www.cell.com/trends/cogni... This paper takes a step toward that broader goal by integrating RL, perceptual inference, and decision dynamics in VR.
