During my PhD I worked on computational mechanisms of auditory perception in the ferret. I also conducted a meta-analysis of the arousal literature using NLP and automatic neuroimaging meta-analysis tools. If you’d have questions you find interesting that could be addressed with data from these papers feel free to write me!
In the next couple of years I want to focus on computational phenotyping and how individual decision strategies relate to group dynamics.
Open data:
from Anne’s website:
- Here is a link to a large database of behavioral datasets.
- Here is a paper describing a database of >145 confidence datasets.
- This paper describes a perceptual decision making task with psychopathology questionnaires, dataset here.
Some ideas:
- Is choice history bias a stable measure of computational phenotype or is it contained by experimental task? Analyze data from this paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-01814-x
- How do parameters estimated from cognitive models relate to psychopatology (Marion's paper).
- How do individual decision strategies give rise to decision dynamics at population level? Apply methodology related to social tipping points.
- Can we compare cognitive strategies between tasks using RNNs and methods developed in this paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-024-01668-6
