Learning and Decision Making Lab

Congratulations to Alex Park and Phil Witkowski on their recent career transitions! Alex has embarked on his new journey by establishing his lab at the CNRS in Lyon, France, while Phil has taken on a post-doctoral position at the NIDA IRP, where he will be collaborating with Thorsten Kahnt.

We look forward to following their exciting work!

Congratulations to Phil and the LDM Lab on the publication of the paper 'Neural mechanisms of credit assignment for inferred relationships in a structured world' in Neuron!

CNS 2022 was a success!

On April 23rd, 2022, the LDM team traveled to San Francisco to attend the Cognitive Neuroscience Society 2022 conference. It was a great occasion for our lab to show our colleagues in the scientific community our newest results. Our team members gave 2 data presentations and presented 5 posters.

Congratulations to the FoxLab and LDM Lab on being awarded an NIH R21 for the project Rethinking the Neural Correlates of Uncertain Threat Anticipation with a Statistical Learning!

The LDM Lab welcomes two new postdoctoral researchers, Mark Orloff and Lindsay Rondot!

Congratulations to the LDM Lab on their paper on grid representations and novel inference decisions out in Nature Neuroscience (see publications)!

The Learning and Decision Making Lab is currently accepting applications for graduate students!

Congratulations to LDM alumni Douglas Miller and Sev Harootonian who are starting graduate school at Stanford and Princeton, respectively. We will be following your research!

The LDM lab is honored to be awarded an NSF CAREER Award for their proposal "Contingent Learning in a Structured World." This project will investigate the computational and neural mechanisms underlying credit assignment in a structured world.
