Exciting news! Our latest paper is now published 🎉 We dive into the fear generalization literature to see how individual fear gen profiles are typically quantified, extracted the most commonly used measures, and compared them using simulated and empirical data: doi.org/10.1016/j.bp...

Companion piece in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social to our recent @nathumbehav.nature.com paper, in which we put our "Social feature learning" model of social learning strategies in context.

Submit your work until August 15, 2025, and join me!

Can we predict suicide attempts in adolescents based on a host of biological markers? Our latest research suggests yes (to some degree). To learn more about model comparisons and blood-based markers with best performance, read the full text now published www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧠 New paper out! We studied how people react to threats via brain and body patterns. 🔹 Some show HR slowing → better visual processing (ssVEP), less motor readiness 🔸 Others speed up → visual suppression, more motor prep (beta desync) 📄 Full study: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🧠 New study alert! What happens when your brain can't help guide your movement? We found that inhibiting the posterior parietal cortex affects path integration only when movement is under your active control — not when you're just watching. #cognitiveneuroscience #TMS #navigation #VR

Thrilled that our paper on the mechanisms underlying social learning strategies is out! First big paper from my @erc.europa.eu & @kawresearch.bsky.social funded group. More to come! I'm currently looking to recruit two post docs, get in touch if you find this line of research interesting.

New paper from our lab now in @nature.com . We show that our brains use basis functions or "building blocks" to navigate social interactions. Rather than tracking every individual separately, social information is compressed into patterns that can be flexibly combined. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Excited to share key findings from our new paper on #Bistability and #AffectDynamics, published in Emotion with @danielsanabria.bsky.social We asked whether people shift abruptly between feeling good and bad, just like ecosystems flip between multiple stable states. Here's what we found 🧵👇
