Bob's strange path through computational cognitive neuroscience

Phishing: a computational model with real-life applications

Start discussing Bob's paper 10 simple rules for computational modeling of behavioral data

Rule 0: Why even do computational modelling?

Rules 1 & 2: Design a good experiment & Design a good model

Rule 3: Simulate!

Rules 4 & 5: Parameter estimation and recovery

Rule 6: Model recovery

Rules 7 & 8: Collect data and validate the model

Rule 9: Latent variable analysis

Rule 10: Report your results

Computational modelling and the open science movement

A book or paper more people should read

Something Bob wishes he'd learnt sooner

Advice for PhD students/postdocs

Robert (Bob) Wilson is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Georgia Tech. We talk about his tutorial paper (w/ Anne Collins) on computational modelling, and some of his recent work on detecting phishing. BJKS Podcast is a podcast about neuroscience, psychology, and anything vaguely related, hosted by Benjamin James Kuper-Smith.
