New Ecobrain work!
8 Oct 2024
Ever wondered what happens in the brain when someone takes the world’s most powerful psychedelic drug?🧐Me too! So we went and found out.
Our new preprint is now live where you can read all about it:

My final morning in Melbourne. Our paper at @ACMMobileHCI received an honourable mention! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project. If you’re interested in how people can re-imagine and change both technologies and themselves, give it a read dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36764…

Very proud to see this paper in @eLife! Great PhD work by @ViktorKewenig. Perhaps the first study (!?) that looks at word processing across situated and displaced contexts in naturalistic language. @ECOLOGICALBRAIN @LeverhulmeTrust

V happy that this study is now published in @eLife with nice reviews and a wonderful editorial assessment. Quantifying multimodal context (of spoken language) in naturalistic stimuli is not an easy task, but we hope this can provide some inspiration. 🧵elifesciences.org/reviewed-p…

Last week, neuroscientists at @UCLPALS and architects joined forces to study how people navigate built environments...by creating life-size simulations of the real world in an enormous laboratory!

Our paper on a game-theoretic agent-based approach to conflict modelling is now out in PLOS ONE.
6 Jun 2024
Very excited to see this paper out!
We use an agent-based model (ABM) rooted in game theory to study the microdynamics of conflict in northeastern Syria. We focus on retaliation and reciprocity between ISIS and Kurdish forces.

Two papers out on the same day!
Using tasks from cognitive psychology we evaluate 7 LLMs and show that they display irrationality, but not in the same way humans do. They are often incorrect in ways that differ from human-like biases.

Great times at the @PaLSPPG conference at @CumberlandLodge, a former royal residence in beautiful Windsor. A unique opportunity to meet fellow PhD students and present our @ECOLOGICALBRAIN research. Also received the best poster award voted by my peers - now that’s royal to me!🫶

📣 SO EXCITED to share with you all my third first-author paper from my PhD: “Video gaming, but not reliance on GPS, is associated with spatial navigation performance.”
➡️ doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2024…
I am so grateful to the wonderful team who turned this dream into a reality! 🙌

How might our everyday actions change perception?
Out today @NatureComms we show that walking rhythmically modulates how sensitive we are to the environment.
The latest from my final days as a postdoc with @DAVElab at @UsydPsych
