Philippa has been awarded an Erasmus+ travel grant to visit KU Leuven for two weeks in May. She will work in the Desender Lab with Kobe Desender and Robin Vloeberghs to apply the Hierarchical Model for Fluctuations in Criterion. She will use the model to find out how decision-making biases change over the lifespan, andContinue reading “Erasmus+ Grant for Philippa to visit KU Leuven”

At the beginning of my postdoc, I searched for and compared Python packages for fitting hidden Markov models. As this may be useful to other HMM fans, I am sharing the resulting table, which non-comprehensively covers various features of IOHMM and Dynamax.

By Philippa Johnson Review of: Daniel Hulsey, Kevin Zumwalt, Luca Mazzucato, David A. McCormick, Santiago Jaramillo. Decision-making dynamics are predicted by arousal and uninstructed movements. bioRxiv, doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.03.02.530651 In a recent lab meeting, we discussed a preprint by Hulsey et al. (2023), which investigates whether fluctuations in arousal can account for some of the variabilityContinue reading “Preprint review: behavioural state shifts are predicted by fluctuations in arousal”
