New preprint/paper alert: a first effort at studying global properties for natural auditory scenes. This was just accepted at Open Mind, a relatively new diamond open access #cognitivescience journal.

This is Maggie McMullin's master's thesis plus some brilliant computational modeling by our colleagues at Johns Hopkins, Rohit and Mounya. Brian Gygi provided tons of code for acoustical analysis and our former post-doc Nate Higgins helped with a lot of matlab coding. Maggie recorded all of our stimuli using a Zoom Q8 recorder, and they are available on OSF.

ZoomWelcome! You are invited to join a webinar: BTCC Talk Series: Xiaosi Gu. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.Computational Psychiatry Through The Lens of Social Neuroscience Computational psychiatry (CP), a nascent field with close connections to biological psychiatry and computational neuroscience, has made important contributions to mental health research in terms of bringing computational frameworks and methods. However, the explanatory power of CP remains limited, as it has thus far almost exclusively focused on basic perceptual inference and reinforcement learning. In this talk, I will argue that modeling social processes represents an important future direction of CP, as human social relationships can be both a major drive of psychiatric disorders as well as an important basis for treatment and intervention. Using norm adaptation and controllability as exemplar topics, I will present our recent findings of how impaired social computations manifest in disorders that are not traditionally considered as “social disorders” such as addiction, OCD, and delusion. I will conclude by discussing the therapeutic implications of this work.
