Incredible news for the field!

A huge amount of dissatisfaction with life is just neuroticism, low concientiousness, and introversion.

We have two open postdoc positions in the lab! Check out the links below for details. Postdoc in neuroscience of reward learning: jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen… Postdoc in physiology of learning and decision making: jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen… Please retweet!

cognitive scientist: so the lesson of Clever Hans is we need.. engineer: more horses cognitive scientist: engineer: stacked horses. parallel horses. pooled horses. horse dropout. RL with horses in the loop. cognitive scientist: engineer: Hans is All You Need
