Just out: Multifractality of brain tissue predicts the behavioral effect of injected stress hormone

Multifractality of neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex appears to moderate the effect of corticosterone injection on anxiety-related behaviors. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Yes, Virginia, nonlinearity *can* sometimes reduce multifractality

We may read single words with much more of our bodies than just our eyes, ears, and brains. Or at least so says my homage to Michael Turvey in the special issue in his honor at Ecological Psychology. Thanks to invaluable support from coauthors Madhur Mangalam, Melen Guillaume, & Cedrick Bonnet

Had a fun time talking with Jack Roycroft on his podcast m.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Fm...

I'm happy & sad. Happy part: the word "ecological" becomes usual in neuroscience. Sad part: "affordances", yes, but the aim is to find how they are encoded in the brain. Some eco. psychs. in the project would've made it radical but perhaps more interesting? Something like: doi.org/10.1111/ejn....

I'm pleased to share a preprint of a chapter I wrote for an upcoming book on embodied cognition. I try to tackle some thorny questions surrounding unit and scale as they relate to symbols and dynamics in cognitive science. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Does ecological psychology ❤️ fractals? Yes? No? Maybe? This chapter reviews decades of flirtation of the former with the latter--and to advocate for committing to the relationship (or for getting on with life separately!) www.researchgate.net/publication/... coauthored w/ @davidfarrokh.bsky.social
