Our multiverse analysis of associations between skin conductance and acute pain is published! >550 participants x 18 SCR pipelines = 1 winning approach to SCR analysis! (Ledalab + artifact detection). thread below. We hope others find this useful! Please RT :) journals.lww.com/pain/fulltex...

1/ I’m excited to share our new @NatureHumBehav paper “Social Functioning in Autism: A Systematic Review & Meta-analysis” 🧵We synthesized 35 yrs of autism research to ask a fundamental Question: How is social functioning organized, developed, and altered in autism? Free link: rdcu.be/figGl

Our first foray into horror movies was recently published. Former grad student David Gregory used them as a means to study temporal memory for threatening events. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41965942/

Current SANS president @dfareri.bsky.social gives his closing address at the #SANS2026 business meeting

Delighted to be at SANS sharing our latest naturalistic work on how emotion shapes temporal memory! 🕰️

Congratulations to #SANS2026 distinguished award winner Dr. John O'Doherty! Thank you for sharing your work on how the brain constructs value

Final poster highlights: first up Nathan Chabin - The relationship between amygdala function and facial emotion recognition across the lifespan

Next up, the faculty blitz - Dr. Jon Freeman on the neural dynamics of impression updating

Can’t wait to see some of you at my poster today! #SANS2026

@richlopez41.bsky.social opening the session - Advancing Emotion Regulation Research: Neural Mechanisms and Translational Applications

Final day of #SANS2026 kicks off with symposium on Hyperscanning - where we will cover how we measure synchrony, what it means, and can we causally manipulate it We start with Dr. Anat Dahan on using graph theoretic methods to study interbrain connectivity

Last day of #SANS2026! Today, @rachaelkee.bsky.social will present her poster introducing Inoxity. It’s an open source iOS app that allows for high-throughput collection of EMA and bio-behavioral data. What can you do with high-throughput data? Check her preprint! doi.org/10.33767/osf...

#SANS2026 poster session 2 spotlight:

Elizabeth Phelps gives the #SANS2026 Keynote address on "Mechanisms of Threat Control: Translational Progress and Challenges"

Shuo Wang delivers the #SANS2026 Mid-Career Award Talk: "From Visual Features to Memory: Single Neuron Mechanisms of Face Representation in the Human Brain"

Excited to be back in San Diego for #SANS2026! 🌅 Join the poster session today (4/17) to learn about our new computational framework for craving social connection & its links to chronic loneliness: osf.io/preprints/ps... Also reach out about collaborating & opportunities to get involved w/ the lab

Now we start the #SANS2026 trainee data blitz!

@neurodamian.bsky.social introduces the #SANS2026 EDIJ session

Candace Raio introduces #SANS2026 Symposium 3: Affective and Decision-Making!

Here for Day 2 of @sansmeeting.bsky.social with @nirx-nirs.bsky.social. Come by if you want to learn more about how #fnirs can be used in your research! Would love to hear about your work!

Friday Poster Session at 4pm Poster A-72 Neural Signature of Morality - the identification of a robust moral wrongness brain signal

Excited to share work from my amazing lab and I at #SANS2026! I’ll be presenting a poster on facial impressions in an election context on Friday poster session. Feel free to stop by and check it out! #SocialAffectiveNeuroscienceSociety

Today, Dr. Weber was recognized for his pioneering work using naturalistic paradigms in fMRI research. We’re proud to see the Media Neuroscience Lab’s work honored through his recognition as a SANS Founding Fellow. #SANS2026

#SANS2026 thanks for being a great audience at my talk at this morning's symposium! check out our paper for more details.

Excited to be at #SANS2026! Looking forward to talking about information seeking about threat and reuniting with lovely colleagues. Come say hi!

Day 2 of #SANS2026 underway with the BIOPAC Systems presentation! "Advancing Brain-Body Research: Introducing the BIOPAC MedelOpt+ Integrated Neurophysiology Platform"

@vpmurty.bsky.social hosting the Liz Phelps game during Comic #SANS2026

Welcome the inaugural class of SANS Fellows at #SANS2026: Drs. Chelsea Helion, Kristen Lindquist, Abigail Marsh, David V. Smith, Shuo Wang, and René Weber!

Also today at #SANS2026, Ziyu Zhao investigates the “brain rot” hypothesis. When studied rigorously, in large multi-national samples, we find a whole lot of nothing. Conclusion: previously observed alarming results might be driven by sampling bias and/or measurement error (P1-C-20)

We’re at #SANS2026! Today, Valerie Klein will share her undergraduate capstone project using drift diffusion models to understand how mental health status influences affective media selection. Find her at P1-F-32, and check out the preprint, here doi.org/10.21203/rs....

@diegopizzagalli.bsky.social opens the session Clinical and Translational Perspectives on Affect, speaking out how we might be able to predict who benefits from which MDD medication

Congratulations to @elisabaek.bsky.social, #SANS2026 early career award winner!

In the first #SANS2026 session on social learning @csavasegal.bsky.social shows that self-generated interpretations anchor how we remember ambiguous social info, even when others offer a different take, and how neural shifts help us make the shift
