We’re putting on a workshop - expertly led by nitay alon - on Theory of Mind across natural and artificial intelligence AAAI - send in your abstract and be part of this interdisciplinary push to develop our knowledge and technology! FENS Kavli Network Royal Holloway Psychology

Joe Barnby and I are hitting the floor later this afternoon for our Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research LIDo Doctoral Training pitch at Royal Holloway FENS Kavli Network - come and talk to us 📨😎


RHULDoctoralSchool has announced 10 new PhD studentships as part of Royal Holloway #RH2030s strategy. Come be part of our vibrant and friendly academic community ! royalholloway.ac.uk/studying-here/…

A reminder: we currently have an open call for our AAAI workshop on Theory of Mind 🔥 We encourage submissions from cog sci, CS, and psychiatry - we want to bring together several fields, work together, and understand ToM 🧠🤖 sites.google.com/view/theory-of… nitay alon Reuth Mirsky

Looking forward to speaking at Aspects of Neuroscience Uniwersytet Warszawski Wydział Fizyki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego alongside the one and only Joe Barnby FENS Kavli Network and connecting with Warsaw scientific community this weekend! Not going to lie, can't wait for all the pierogi as well. 🥟🇵🇱🧜🏻♀️ aspectsofneuroscience.fuw.edu.pl

Bit of a last minute announcement, but I have a project in the KCL MRC DTP catalogue - deadline is next week! See the link for more info, and get in touch if you want to know more kcl-mrcdtp.com/project/self-a…

New work! In evaluating other's motives, people first make a rough good/bad judgement, then (if all goes well) refine their views. Serotonin may help learning beyond the good/bad impression: academic.oup.com/scan/advance-a… . Thanks Joe Barnby , Liam Mason , Robb Rutledge and gang!

📢 Out now in Nature Mental Health Social factors greatly impact the progression & treatment of psychiatric conditions—Joe Barnby, @XiaosiGu, & I propose that modeling social complexities rooted in mental health & disorder will enhance computational psychiatry nature.com/articles/s4422…




I am very excited to announce that I’m joining the editorial board of Computational Psychiatry, Computational Psychiatry cpsyjournal.org ! Looking forward to reading new contributions that advance the field, particularly in social cognition, interaction, and decision-making 🫂

🚨 New paper (with Eitan Wagner Joe Barnby and Omri Abend) on how we (should) evaluate Theory of Mind in Large Language Models. While recent work claims LLMs have ToM capabilities, we're missing crucial aspects from cognitive science. Here's why this matters 🧵

New from us, and first study from the PhD of Dr Elisavet Pappa Delusional Themes are More Varied Than Previously Assumed academic.oup.com/schizophreniab… A global meta-analysis of the prevalence of delusional themes in psychosis, examining association with clinical features and culture


🚨 New paper in molecularpsychiatry led by the amazing Maite Arribas 🚨 We used EHR data from 6,462 patients and temporal network analysis to look at the dynamics of symptoms in the prodromes to depression, bipolar disorder and psychosis

We're very excited to share the proceedings from our #ToM4AI2025 workshop AAAI ⭐️ 28 works on how cog sci, phil. of mind, and computer science can inform Theory of Mind in AI! arxiv.org/abs/2505.03770 with Joe Barnby, Reuth Mirsky and @StefanSarkadi!
