(1/3) Focused ultrasound stimulation is a versatile neuroscience tool. Depending on parameter settings it can safely and reversibly alter brain function, or it can lead to lasting tissue damage. That’s why we have safety guidelines (see ITRUSST: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... ).

First PhD paper! 🎉 Ever wondered why people gradually take bigger risks over time? Using VR we discovered that It's not how anxious you are at the start, but how quickly your emotions subside that predicts risk escalation Full paper: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

😍 Our latest is out now in @commspsychol.nature.com. 🤩 We show with Bayesian modelling and experimental manipulation of uncertainty that developmental differences in social influence depend on differences in the internal uncertainty people have about their choice doi.org/10.1038/s442...

Very proud to share this one🥹! We show that personalized signatures of brain activity are heritable and relate to the expression of specific genes. That means my brain-fingerprint is very similar to my twin brother's! #ResearchIsMeSearch🧠 🧬 ♊️

🚨New preprint🚨 out with the dream team @matanmazor.bsky.social @giuliacabbai.bsky.social and @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social! We report a novel and robust effect across five different datasets: vivid imagery is reported faster than weak imagery. 📝: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Thrilled to share our new opinion piece—hot off the press—on attentional sampling, co-authored with the magnificent Flor Kusnir and Daniele Re. It captures where our thinking has landed on this topic after years of work. www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

Very exciting study by @akalt.bsky.social on automatic rhythmic continuation of visual sequences, and how this signal may be read out by motor systems in timing tasks. I love the demonstration that the visual system extrapolates rhythmic sequences of rotating gratings even when task-irrelevant. 🧠🟦

New MEG paper by @jhaarsma.bsky.social and @dotproduct.bsky.social‬! Same design and behavioural results as our 7T layer fMRI study (www.jneurosci.org/content/43/4...), but now shedding light on the temporal dynamics of the sensory signals underlying false percepts. #neuroskyence

Why I value peer review - new World View in @naturehumbehav.bsky.social tinyurl.com/4w5795ua I discuss why peer review is still important and useful despite some of the challenges, and reflect on some personal peer review experiences. Interested to hear what others think about peer review 🙂.

How do cognitive maps fail? And how can this help us understand/treat psychosis? My lab at @oxexppsy.bsky.social is hiring a Postdoc tinyurl.com/2p935hhz and RA tinyurl.com/3myfpb78 to answer these questions in mouse models. Here's why you might want to join: 🧵

Two new papers led by Iris Traast! In both, we ask how an interaction partner’s race affects impression formation via instrumental learning—that is, based on interaction choices and partner feedback. We tested this in the USA (Black vs. White; in JEPG) and the NL (White vs. Moroccan; in GPIR).
