My colleague Falk Lieder and I are hiring a new post-doc at UCLA to join the #WiseJudgementConsortium. The ad is here: recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF10650

I will be recruiting 🌟PhD students🌟 for my newish lab! If you're interested in learning & memory mechanisms applied to individual, interactive & collective behavior using computational modeling, real-world experiments and fMRI, email me! RTs much appreciated 🙏 rouhanilab.com

📊 Key finding: Participants over-attributed AI generation, labeling nearly 60% of all images as synthetic—even though only half were. This "AI attribution bias" leads to: ✅ Higher accuracy detecting synthetic images ❌ Lower accuracy recognizing authentic images (5/)

“Detecting Synthetic, Doubting Authentic: AI Attribution Bias for Political Imagery” 📍 Full preprint: osf.io/preprints/os... 🧵 Here’s what we found about how #GenAI is reshaping trust in political visuals during elections: (1/)

We have a new tutorial out in Social Cog methods issue, a resampling tool we made in R that basically tells you when some average is "stable" and can be used to guide data collection or test hypotheses related to variance. Quick explanation here 1/n guilfordjournals.com/doi/10.1521/...

Thanks everyone for joining us and blessing us with sharp questions and engagement. Thank you Juliana, Angel, and Harry for your presentations! #sesp2025

I'll be presenting work led by Anqi Mao, a PhD student of mine, on improving human detection of AI-generated faces via training. This kicks off a new direction in our lab's research on social perception and interaction in digitally mediated contexts. More to come! @ohlab.bsky.social

Am I dreaming? Our symposium on AI disclosure, trust, and authenticity, my first-ever SESP submission, was accepted for #SESP2025 in Lisbon! (& my first time attending 🤩) Grateful to co-speakers Juliana Schroeder, Angel Hwang, and @harryyan.bsky.social who took a leap of faith and joined me on this.

Decision on your manuscript

For the first time, my trainees got their SPSP talks accepted--and 3 at once! Such a blessing. Congratulations to Finneaz Moner @firdausmoner.bsky.social [lab manager], Ming Huang (Ben) Teo [former lab manager)], and Joy Tong [PhD student]. Proud of their hard work. See you in Chicago! #SPSP2026

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.

"The Architecture of Status Perception: Cues, Categories, and Consequences" Co-chairs: Finneaz Moner, @dongwonoh.bsky.social Speakers: Finneaz Moner, Ben (Ming Huang) Teo, Abhinanda Dash (w/ Kerri L Johnson & @thorabjorns.bsky.social), Bastian Weitz (w/ @freemanjb.bsky.social) Symposium Abstract:

Six years in the making, a postdoc project with @freemanjb.bsky.social is finally now out in print. Many thanks to Jon and @hennavartiainen.bsky.social and everyone who made this important work possible.

The results open a path for new interventions that don’t just target stereotypes but also attempt to recalibrate biased visual perception directly, with the hopes of mitigating such high-stakes misjudgments under stress and uncertainty. (6/6)

While past work has generally assumed such weapon-identification biases involve an accurate perception of the object but then a racially biased impulse that is difficult to control, our findings suggest that part of the problem is a temporary visual distortion as well. (5/6)

These neural representational shifts predicted subjects' delays in recognizing these tools as tools, rather than weapons, suggesting an initial tendency to perceive them as weapons. (4/6)

Using neural decoding techniques, we find that when subjects saw a Black man’s face before an image of a tool, their brain’s object-processing regions shifted toward a weapon-like representation. (3/6)

Unarmed Black people in the US are 3X more likely than unarmed White people to be shot and killed by police. In many tragic cases, unarmed Black men were holding innocuous objects like a wrench, wallet, or cell phone when fatally shot by an officer. (2/6)

New findings from my lab in Nature Communications suggest that racial stereotypes can lead the brain's perceptual system to temporarily "see" weapons where they don't exist. Led by: @dongwonoh.bsky.social Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/6)

Job alert: I'm hiring a postdoc for my lab at CU Boulder starting Fall 2026! We study person perception, stereotyping & prejudice, and intervention science using behavioral & neuroimaging methods. Link: jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta... Review starts Nov 1 and continues until filled.

I’m admitting 1–2 Ph.D. students to join my lab in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at CU Boulder, starting Fall 2026. We study person perception, stereotyping and prejudice, and intervention science. Application info: www.colorado.edu/psych-neuro/... Lab info: www.svmlab.org

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Apparently that particular library ("the Rowdy") is designed to be a non-academic space for students to relax and socialize. umsu.unimelb.edu.au/things-to-do... And it goes way back: victoriancollections.net.au/items/583ccf... Pretty cool concept.

Is this peak Aussie? Found in a umelb bathroom: no slurs, no drawings. Just cheeky camaraderie and enthusiastic rsvp energy 🇦🇺 i’m oddly impressed

Interesting student policy you have there @unilibrary.bsky.social

Old friends, new faces, great science. Thanks #epc2025 #apcv2025 and Face & Person Perception Meeting organizers for a fantastic time. Bye, Sydney! 📷: Colin Palmer

Great talk by @dongwonoh.bsky.social demonstrating improved detection of AI faces using different visual attention strategies #epc2025 @expsyanz.bsky.social

I'll be in Sydney (June 16–21) for conferences and Melbourne (June 21–25) for a talk at the University of Melbourne. If you're around and want to connect, @ me! Would love to meet up 🇦🇺🦘🐨🪃 #EPC2025 #APCV2025

Me watching from afar in Singapore, as my students present and exchange ideas at #spsp2025 in Denver, CO, USA.

🌟 My brilliant students are making their debut at #SPSP2025 in Denver 🌐 I'm so proud but sadly can't join. Come check out their work 💪:

Didn't expect this one to semi-blow up on the other site (aka Twitter, 1.7k likes). Turns out a lot of us are living the rejection-snacks-success pipeline in academia. Thanks for making me feel less alone in this 🫂 Let's be patient and keep those snacks handy 🍪

5 paper rejections, 1 grant rejection, 1 missed award, and too many midnight snacks later...I got my first research grant as a PI! 🥳🥂 Champagne is figurative tonight (newborn duties call) but the celebration is real. Let’s get to work!...after updating my CV real quick 👀🏃🏃

stoked to announce i'll be starting my lab at USC jan 2025! www.rouhanilab.com please RT (here or IRL): i'll be looking for a research specialist/lab manager & grad students for fall 2025; email if interested! (will also be giving a talk at APS tomorrow) this took entire villages! tytyty

Philip Zimbardo passed away this week at 91. The silence surrounding news of the passing of a scholar of his prominence is very unusual, but won't surprise many who question the authenticity his famous work. To me, it is an ending to a tragic tale of the pursuit of a meaningful intellectual legacy.

Interested in working with me and/or any of my awesome colleagues at @UCSDPsychology for grad-school? Come check out this virtual event that @asmithflores.bsky.social organized for next week! Registration deadline this Friday (Oct 11)! diversifyingpsychology.ucsd.edu

Know a student applying to Psych Ph.D. programs? Consider telling them about this opportunity! UCSD Psychology is hosting a two-day virtual event for prospective students on October 20th & 21st. You can register and view the schedule at diversifyingpsychology.ucsd.edu. 1/5

I will be recruiting 💫two PhD students💫 for my new lab! (computational learning & memory applied to individual & interactive behavior: rouhanilab.com). Feel free to e-mail if interested and catch me at SfN! (poster 06 at 1 PM on Wed 10/09)
