Join us in beautiful Dubrovnik for the XVII Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science (21–24 May 2026)! This year’s theme focuses on adaptation and its limits across multiple timescales, individual differences, and mental health. Abstracts from all areas of cogsci welcome!

todoist! You may use it as a simple to-do-list but you can also go wild and create projects, tasks, subtasks, set priorities, dates, etc. I guess that you get basic collaboration functionality with the free version, and would have to pay for the more advanced features
I really like this one www.networksciencebook.com the first few chapters seem to have what you're looking for
A thread of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) that look like record covers... because that's EXACTLY what the world needs

Friends in Budapest, check out these great talks next week :)
Amazing, thanks so much!
and @florahann.bsky.social is here too!
What a wonderful book indeed!
Machinery of Misbelief
A psychiatrist tackles the psychology of false beliefs in the misinformation age

Fascinating! Congrats, Tamás!
Thrilled to see our TinyRNN paper in @nature! We show how tiny RNNs predict choices of individual subjects accurately while staying fully interpretable. This approach can transform how we model cognitive processes in both healthy and disordered decisions. doi.org/10.1038/s415...
A few months ago, Nature published how-to guide for using ChatGPT to write your peer reviews in 30 minutes.
This is, of course, a horrible idea. Here’s my response with @jbakcoleman.bsky.social .
Number 52 it is ;)
What a great pleasure to be back in Leuven and hear about amazing research at the #saa2025 ! If you are interested in Pavlovian biases vs. regulating mood with fun activities and rumination under stress, please come by our poster this afternoon - w/ Hanneke den Ouden and @leventeronai.bsky.social
@leventeronai.bsky.social made it to bsky in the meantime !
New ESM study out in J Pers! 👀 We show that disorganized schizotypy specifically predicts both psychotic- and stress-reactivity in response to social, economic, and health-related stressors - thanks a lot Levente Rónai, Flóra Hann, and Szabolcs Kéri onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
I can totally second that! This is such an interesting and relevant study, congratulations. We were trying to wrap our head around this issue for a measure of stressor exposure in an esm study and arrived at quite similar conclusions. Great to see this written up so neatly!
Wow, congratulations!
I see, thanks a lot for the response!
What is reflected in the cross-sectional correlation? How does it relate to associations at the level of stable individual differences vs. correlations within individuals over time? It really depends! And it's hard to know without intensive longitudinal data.

Looks fascinating! Quick question (without having thoroughly read the paper): how does this align with the optimism bias literature?
Very happy that this preprint (I'm 2nd author & taking over for the bluesky-less Vanessa Scholz) is finally out!
In a large online sample, we investigated how Pavlovian/motivational biases are associated with psychiatric symptom dimensions (as first defined by Claire Gillan)..

Fascinating!!! The link does not seem to work for me though and could not find your preprint with google (scholar) neither

A PhD position is open in @peelen.bsky.social Lab at the Donders Institute - please spread the word and consider applying if you are interested about how imagery and perception relate to each other www.ru.nl/en/working-a... - plus we are fun people to work with ! :)
Quite a few studies show attractive integration between perception and imagery/VWM such that e.g. imagining a left-tilted grating makes a perceived grating seem more left-tilted. Does anybody know of any studies showing repulsion? I.e. making the perceived grating seem more right-tilted?
English-speaking readers, this one is worth your time:
A great causal inference reading list!
And I'd also consider the overall compliance in your study and the % of the observations in question - does it make any difference in the end? If there's a lot of them, what bias could be introduced by throwing them away, and are you fine with that?
