Our ability to comprehend daily events has been corrupted by a toxic info environment where political & attentional dynamics distort & manipulate our “collective sensemaking” processes. Our “official” sources are now products of that same environment. Reality fractures, along with the social fabric.

I just got to use the word “wank” on Radio 4. A proud moment. Also the bit where I suggested people could set self-driving cars on fire was definitely followed by me stating “but you shouldn’t do that”. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Born #OnThisDay in 1797 was author Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, who wrote the Gothic novel 'Frankenstein' in 1818. The book is considered by some to be one of the first sci-fi novels, with protagonist Victor Frankenstein using both science and alchemy to create a living creature from dead bodies.

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇

Ti ricorderò con commozione e gratitudine Laura Santi, coraggiosa giornalista che ha raccontato la disabilità nella sua spietata quotidianità. Hai scritto e lottato generosamente per rendere tutte le persone più consapevoli e per dare visibilità ai diritti negati (dall'assistenza alla morte).

Modern theories of emotion (especially “interoceptive inference”) often cite William James as a key inspiration. But what did James actually say about emotion, and is it supported by the data? Here’s a brief look at the core arguments and classic evidence. 🧵

If you read my thread, make sure to read the retracted paper’s last author’s response. As I highlighted on pubpeer & my thread, authors have been very responsive, transparent & collegial all the way through. I was surprised myself seeing a retraction as I had asked for a correction.

In February 2024, I wrote Scientific Reports about a published meta-analysis claiming that mindfulness interventions affect neural plasticity, 'cementing the neuropsychological basis of mindfulness-based interventions'. The paper was retracted yesterday—here a little summary of the process.🧵

And an astounding Happy 107th birthday to neuropsychology pioneer Brenda Milner! Her studies of the hippocampus's role in memory and the frontal lobe's role in planning are absolute classics, and we wish her all possible joy on this day! tinyurl.com/3am8syhf #WomenInSTEM #Psychology #PsychSky 🧪🧠

Happy 107th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social

Brenda Milner and William Scoville's work with H.M. showed that the hippocampus and surrounding regions was needed for the formation of new memories of facts and personal experiences, but that old memories are stored elsewhere. Happy 107th Brenda Milner! 🎉🥳

Happy birthday Brenda Milner! 🧠🎉 Today is her 107th birthday, she's a legend, a superhero.

The age at which children learn words depends on frequency of exposure, phonological complexity, and concreteness. In this new paper, we show that it also depends on the social relevance of the word, and that some abstract words may be learned earlier because they capture our social experiences.

Sad news about the passing of Carlos Umiltà. He attended many @psicostat.bsky.social meetings, and we last met at the 4M workshop in Padova last Februari. A great mind and an excellent and inspirational scientist.

"Forse finiremo per avere due grandi categorie di esperimenti: quelli rilevanti che saranno stati riprodotti per capire meglio i dettagli del fenomeno studiato e quelli che cadranno nel dimenticatoio. Ma, all'inizio, usciranno nelle stesse riviste" In memoria di Carlo Umiltà

Just learned that Carlo Umiltà has passed away — a giant of Italian neuroscience 🧠 I was lucky to learn from him during my PhD (not my advisor, but a regular presence in the lab).

Oggi è un giorno molto triste perché ci lascia Carlo Umiltà e la gratitudine e gli insegnamenti sono il sicuro conforto. www.mattinopadova.it/cronaca/mort...

"Music is one of the things that unites & also separates one group from another.
