A putative neural correlate of mood! One big (scandalous?) idea, simple analyses, and the STRONGEST brain/behavior correlation I've EVER seen (which is shocking, given that it's mood). Work with: You-Ping Yang, @catrinahacker.bsky.social and Veit Stuphorn. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New paper out. We asked 29 people with developmental #prosopagnosia (face blindness) what it was like living with the condition and also analysed their objective scores on lab tests of face recognition dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

Like every year, our lab plans to attend the @sfn.org meeting in the US. But is it safe to go? This scientist was sent back (as confirmed by @lemonde.fr, no less). Other visitors were recently detained by ICE goons for days. It feels risky. See y'all at FENS in Barcelona? www.fens.org

🎉 New paper in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2408937122 Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.

Hello, Bluesky! ☀️ We fund frontier research in Europe—bold ideas, unexpected discoveries and science that shapes the future. So it’s only fitting we’ve landed here. Sorry for being late. Follow us for updates on ERC funding, research policy, and our grantees' discoveries.

Social contagion is a powerful force. People copy thoughts, feelings, & actions of those to whom they are connected. Understanding social network structure & function makes it possible to use social contagion to intervene in the world to improve human welfare. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/

Excited to share my first first-author paper out now in PNAS! By comparing retinotopically-defined visual areas in macaques and humans, we found that evolutionary expansion is reflected in the size, not number, of visual areas. #neuroskyence #neuroscience www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
