I am leading the Rationality Enhancement Group at the MPI for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen since July 2018. Before that I did my PhD in Tom Griffiths' Computational Cognitive Science Lab at UC Berkeley.
My mission is to revolutionize self-improvement and personal development, psychotherapy and psychiatry, brain training, and education. To achieve this, I strive to establish a new science of improving the human mind and to develop innovative approaches and technologies for empowering people to become more effective. My research therefore focusses on understanding, promoting, and supporting cognitive growth, goal setting, and goal achievement.
People's limited attentional resources are challenged by the high prevalence of potential distractors in daily life. How well people can cope with the arising demands is moderated by individual attention control abilities that have proven to mitigate potentially harmful effects (Wirzberger & Rey, 2018).

Today's rapid advances in artificial intelligence present an unprecedented opportunity to augment the human mind with the help of technology. Our goal is to leverage insights from cognitive science to develop technologies that help humanity overcome its cognitive limitations and enable people to make better decisions, learn fast...
Building on insights into how people learn how to think and how to decide (Lieder & Griffiths, 2017; Krueger, Lieder, & Griffiths, 2017; Lieder, Shenhav, Musslick, & Griffiths, 2018) and novel methods for discovering optimal cognitive strategies (Lieder, Krueger, & Griffiths, 2017; \cite{guldiscovering}), we develop ...
How does the human brain learn how to think and how to decide? What are the learning mechanisms that give rise to human intelligence and enable us to get better at what we do? How can this learning be promoted and accelerated? To answer these questions, we reverse-engineer how people learn when to use which cognitive strategy (Liede...
