So exciting to see RQ1 featured our work! Bottom line: humor in news is a powerful tool for conveying facts—especially at a time when satirical news, an alternative venue for those who don't trust mainstream media, is under unprecedented political attack

Submit your abstract to the special issue on “Dynamics of Human Communication”, due in only one week!!!

I'm recruiting PhD students to join my new lab in Fall 2026! The Shared Minds Lab at @usc.edu will combine deep learning and ecological human neuroscience to better understand how we communicate our thoughts from one brain to another.

📱One scroll can change your day. What guides your scrolling? I’m keynoting at the CityU Hong Kong International Conference on AI-Empowered Communication and Global Innovation. I’ll share our lab’s NeuroAI for sequential media selection. If you’re there, say hi! www.cityu.edu.hk/com/Page.asp...

It's amazing that we can communicate with so many researchers across the world in English, but how do we do that and still allow local languages to thrive in different contexts? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Very proud of Indiana, as I just found that IU has two Rumelhart winners among only 25 recipients!

Thrilled to share our pub in Journal of Advertising. We tackled the long observed mismatch between physiological responses and psychological outcomes. With a multimodal approach, we reliably predicted consumer attitudes! Find more here: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/4FAAS...

Excited to share a new article on AI self-extension 🤖 Led by Scott Campbell + w @nellison.bsky.social, we consider how aspects of AI facilitate dimensions of self-extension 🤳 as well as AI-mobile convergence 📲 Check it out in Communication + Change: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Moving beyond a Western-centric perspective in research is not just about being more inclusive and diverse within the community, but more importantly it enriches our understanding of cognition itself. Great statement, see below. 🌐I think this is even more critical for communication studies.

Deadline for submission： August 5!

So glad to see that 100%pure cognitive scientist, and a leading voice in the field, Dr. Rick Dale, came to ICA and talked about exciting areas and opportunities that could bring cognitive science and communication fields together!

Dr. Robert F. Potter and I are co-editing a special issue on "Dynamics of Human Communication" for the journal Communication and Change. If you're interested, feel free to check out the details below or come chat with me at ICA! #ICA25 link.springer.com/journal/4438...

Well while I am at ICA now, I'll also be attending CogSci conference this year at SF. Anyone else planning to go?

What a fun Thursday. Feel like I am back in graduate school. Spent my morning on fNIRS and the afternoon moving lab equipments and setting up my student’s experiment.

many of my colleagues asked me: how likely it is to get a U.S. visa for ICA.

I congratulate @icahdq.bsky.social on this decision. I count myself among the scholars who would think twice about traveling to the U.S. under the current administration.
