🧠 Upcoming #caian talk: Prof. Constantin Rothkopf (TU Darmstadt) will speak about exploring how computational models explain perception, action, and decision-making under uncertainty in everyday tasks. 🎤"Computational Elements of Ecological Behavior" 📅 Nov 4, 2026 | 13:00 📍 Bonn/Zoom

📢 Konstantinos Armaos and Lara Gülpen, postdoc and research assistant at our lab, respectively, will present their poster on a multiplayer VR paradigm for studying social interaction and decision-making under threat at the @vrsummit.bsky.social next week! vrs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/programme-20...

This Thursday (Sept 10), we are going to welcome our next guest speaker to a hybrid talk to the caian: Join us in person/on zoom at 1 p.m. CET and hear Assoc. Prof. Fleur Zeldenrust talk about "Heterogeneity in the brain: lessons from theory and experiment". #caiantalks #neuroscience #brainscience

New publication: Read our systematic review of 116 studies on human avoidance learning. Evidence favours expectancy- and inference-based accounts, while highlighting roles for action valuation, Pavlovian influences and context. #avoidancelearning #cognition #neuroscience #systematicreview Link ⬇️

📣 Come and work with us! We’re looking for a Student Assistant (6 h/week, 12-month contract) to help organise an international workshop on benchmarking approaches in cognitive science. Apply by 13 Sept 2026. tinyurl.com/studentajob #CognitiveScience #caian #neuroscience #StudentJobs #UniBonn

From inspiring talks and posters to discussions that continued between sessions - #NN2026 was all about bringing the naturalistic neuroscience community together. 📸 Here are a few of our favourite moments from the symposium as thread. Thank you to everyone who made it possible!

Have you come across Prof. Dominik Bach's portrait as part of the #WeAreUniBonn campaign? Meet the researcher behind the poster. 🎥 Watch his short intro to his research at caian (in German): youtu.be/heKCA12g3iE 💬Read the condensed interview here: www.uni-bonn.de/de/universit...

New paper + software: calibr brings experiment-based calibration to R. Compare measurement methods across studies, quantify uncertainty about which performs best, and evaluate whether switching methods is worth the cost. Package: github.com/bachlab/calibr Paper: link.springer.com/article/10.3...

How can multilevel causal modeling help us better explain the relation between neuronal activity and cognition? 🧠 Join us next Wednesday at lunch time for a #caiantalk by Prof. Moritz Grosse-Wentrup (@moritzgw.bsky.social ) to learn more about this computational approach to #neuroscience

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."

How does attention drive risky choices? 🎲👁️ Join us next Wednesday for a #caiantalk by Prof. Jan B. Engelmann (@uva.nl) on "Distinguishing individual & contextual channels of attention in risky decision-making."

📢Publication Alert: New Paper on Human Pavlovian Fear Conditioning! It has been speculated that psychophysiological responses to an outcome during learning could express prediction errors. ➡️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #associativelearning #psychophysiology #PavlovianFearConditioning

[1/2] Join us next week at caian @UniBonn for a hybrid guest lecture by Prof. Dr. Sebastian Gluth (University of Hamburg) on "Unraveling the neural and computational principles of information integration in complex decisions". #caiantalks #decisionmaking #neuroscience Details below ⬇️

Today at 10 a.m. local time, Dominik Bach will speak on "Critical intelligence and mechanisms of naturalistic adaptive behaviour in humans" in Vancouver. www.cogneurosociety.org/symposia/?sy...

Also check out the MEGgles poster (E96), illustrating our most recent practical innovation, an integrated #VR platform for naturalistic neuroimaging with magnetoencephalography that our lab (@sajjadzabbah.bsky.social) has been working on in the past months. www.cogneurosociety.org/poster/?id=6...
