People re-use each other's words, syntax and semantics in conversation, arguably to facilitate common ground. In a new Proceedings of the Royal Society B we assess whether this tendency can be used an individually reliable trait (e.g. to correlate it to something else): doi.org/10.1098/rspb... 1/

This is happening "because the currency of scholarship—publication—is becoming increasingly detached from the notion that publication is meant to add to the sum of human knowledge. In other words, publication has increasingly become an end in itself."

Excellent (if somewhat depressing) article by Marcus Munafo and George Davey Smith. It's centered on epidemiology but the lessons apply broadly...

If you fancy the idea that emotions are inferences we make together, have a read and fire back with critiques, questions, or priors of your own. arxiv.org/abs/2506.08599 #neuroskyence #hyperscanning

Sam Gershman writes beautifully about how theory-free neuroscience prevents the field from reaching its promise. Beautiful and true. Most folks do not test hypotheses. Running a NHST does not a hypothesis make. www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...

The limiting factor for MRI based prediction of behavioral traits may be neither the imaging nor the pipeline or learning algorith but rather the reliability of the target phenotypes Thought provoking work my Martin Gell et al: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New commentary with @yongling.bsky.social out in TINS! We discuss the intriguing new results from Ma et al. suggesting that the brain maintains multiple predictions how other people might act in order to adaptively respond to others during social exchanges. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti....

I've started working on a (very incomplete!) starter pack for social interaction researchers! If you're working in this space, please asked to be added (or suggest others)! Meant to be inclusive of many disciplines, methods, interaction types, and types of interacting agents: go.bsky.app/44VAEhU
