.@mgkumar138 presented our work at #CCN2025 from this year’s Conference Proceedings We examined attractor dynamics in RNN-based RL agents and found that the number of unstable fixed points is linked to suboptimal decision-making in more volatile contexts biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1. We developed a RNN-based meta-RL framework that models schizophrenia-like decision-making deficits. We see a positive correlation between the number of dynamical attractor states and suboptimal behavior: 2025.ccneuro.org/poster/?id=4eO…

A huge congratulations to Dr. @PaigeAmormino, who successfully defended her fantastic dissertation on altruism, social discounting, homophily, and the social factors that shape them--and who we celebrated in an LSAN lab party last night (just before the rains hit)! @GUPsychology
