1/7 When does our disagreement with politicians start? 🤨 In our new preprint with @bnbakker.bsky.social, @gijsschumacher.bsky.social & Joe Bathelt, we find that incongruence may be rooted in preconscious perception, emerging at 150ms, well before conscious evaluation: osf.io/preprints/ps...

A few more photo archives I'd love to post but the picture count limit didn't allow me to do so in my last post. It was a lovely day and it was really nice talking with so many people sharing keen interests in this young but growing field. #politicalneuroscience #neuroscience #cognition #workshop

Recap NEUROPOL Workshop 🧠 Last Friday, Jan 23, @hotpoliticslab.bsky.social (University of Amsterdam) hosted the event “Turning Politics Inside-Out” to bridge internal and ecological validity in political neuroscience research. Here are some recaps of this fun and interdisciplinary day we’ve had.

Turning Politics Inside-Out: NEUROPOL Workshop! 🧠🗳️ Amsterdam, January 23rd We're discussing the core challenge of Political Neuroscience: How do we bridge the gap between detailed cognitive mechanisms (high internal validity) and real-world political behavior (high ecological validity)?

✨ New Academic Year, New Speaker Series! ✨ We hope you all had a wonderful summer break. We’re thrilled to announce the #HotPoliticsLab Speaker Series lineup for the first semester of the 25/26 academic year. We look forward to welcoming you back for another year of thought-provoking discussions!
