Completed meetings
Completed meetings and resources.
Open a meeting to review its focus and find every resource shared with EDM Megalab. Meetings are ordered newest first.
Methods / current topic
View meeting →Computational psychiatry in the era of foundation models
Mechanistic versus predictive models, construct validity, LLMs as tools or participants, interpretability, evaluation, and data governance.
No public materials posted yet.
Article discussion
View meeting →Representations, schemas, and state inference in reinforcement learning
Move beyond scalar learning parameters toward the representations over which learning operates.
Works in progress
View meeting →WIP Session 3
A project crossing clinical and basic decision science, presented early enough for the conversation to matter.
No public materials posted yet.
Article discussion
View meeting →Compulsivity, choice variability, and computational phenotypes
Separate variability in learning from variability in choice, and ask what would make a computational phenotype clinically meaningful.
Methods workshop
View meeting →Fitting computational models with neural and amortized inference
Parameter recovery, likelihood approximation, simulation-based inference, diagnostics, and when these methods beat MCMC or optimization.
Works in progress
View meeting →WIP Session 2 / Spring kickoff
One substantial project or two shorter projects, followed by a brief reset of priorities for the semester.
No public materials posted yet.
Article + year-end discussion
View meeting →Sources of decision variability: latent states, noise, and mechanism
Variability, latent states, and mechanism—plus a springboard for choosing EDM Megalab’s spring priorities.
Works in progress
View meeting →WIP Session 1
An analysis or modeling problem where a larger pool of expertise can materially change the project.
No public materials posted yet.
Current topic / workshop
View meeting →AI in computational psychiatry and decision neuroscience
Concrete use cases in coding, modeling, literature synthesis, analysis validation, writing, privacy, reproducibility, and emerging failure modes.
No public materials posted yet.
Methods workshop
View meeting →Modern fMRI preprocessing: what choices actually matter?
Compare pipelines used across Emory labs: distortion and motion correction, nuisance regression, censoring, global signal, surface versus volume, and QC.
No public materials posted yet.
Community planning meeting
View meeting →What should EDM Megalab be?
Meet the core organizing labs and colleagues from across Emory; map shared interests, methods, datasets, and opportunities; and help shape priorities for the series. Planning takes place at our second meeting so all six core labs can participate.
No public materials posted yet.
Article discussion
View meeting →Computational phenotypes: traits, states, or moving targets?
A discussion of individual differences, repeated measurement, parameter stability, and what makes a useful computational phenotype.
