Very happy that this paper from our lab is now out in @pnas.org! What happens when the *same* person experiences the *same* information with a *different* interpretation? Nearly the whole 🧠—well, at least nearly all association cortex—changes how it represents that information! tinyurl.com/p8chj2j7

Please spread the word about a postbac position in Behavioral Neuroscience at Dartmouth with me, Shelley Warlow, and Kyle smith. The postbac will contribute to collaborative projects across the three labs aimed at studying the neuroscience of motivation and reward learning.

Nice to wake up to the news that our paper on the ESDist R package for calculating effect size distributions has been accepted for publication 🎉 Since our initial 2023 (!?) preprint we’ve made lots of improvements to the package based on feedback

Can nature relieve pain 🌳🧠⚡️? Our latest preregistered neuroimaging study, now out in Nature Communications, suggests it can. We find that virtual nature exposure reduces both subjective and neural pain responses, even when compared to matched control environments. A 🧵 1/6 doi.org/10.1038/s414...

What better way to end 2025 than getting our paper published in Global Environmental Change 🥳💚 We studied perceptions of the feasibility of climate-relevant behavior change and how these perceptions connect to income differences and climate policy support. Let me tell you all about it🧵👇

Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, important and downright strange discoveries about how the human brain, one of the most complex objects in the known universe, works, and 2025 didn’t disappoint.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

A comparison of data from 64,000 individuals in 64 countries with their self-reports of well-being suggests LLMs cannot provide valid predictions for subjective well-being, in part due to biases rooted in global digital and economic inequality. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/yHIt50XC4z3

Do climate disasters change us? New research with Hoenow & Karki (RWI Essen) examines Germany's devastating 2021 Ahrtal flood. We'd expect a disaster in your backyard to spark urgent climate action—but does it actually? Our findings: it's complicated. 🧵 Paper (OA): doi.org/10.1007/s105...

Is confirmation bias a real cognitive flaw, or a statistical ghost created by our models? My new PNAS paper shows a startling result: fitting Q-learning models to behavior in bandit tasks detect a bias, even from the behavior of a perfectly rational Bayesian learner.
