New short opinion paper - A cognitive approach to learning, monitoring, and shifting social norms - where I discuss the way cognitive processes associated with detection and monitoring of norm behaviors can shape their prevalence and scale. read doi.org/10.1016/j.cops…
Since 1954, "The Handbook of Social Psychology" has been the field’s most authoritative reference work, and today is the launch of the all-new 6th edition. Best news? The HSP is now an open-access public resource—free to read, download, and share. the-hsp.com
🚨New paper with @DrSHLincoln and @DianaTamir out in @SchizRes! We looked at whether people with heightened schizotypy can accurately predict how others will feel moment to moment — and what that means for their social well-being. #Psychology #Schizotypy #Psychosis 👇
Such awesome work by the talented @ElyssaBarrick, 4th year @CWRUpsychsci So great to get to work with @DianaTamir on this, and I can confidently say we're both so proud of this project and AMAZING student. #Emotions #psychosis #schizotypy authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…
Enhancing creativity through neurofeedback: Check out our recent paper where we use covert neurofeedback to entrain default-executive coupling during creative thinking! Xinbing (Jack) Zhang, Jack White, @Michael_Luehrs, @MichalRamot, & @Roger_Beaty academic.oup.com/cercor/article…
🚨New Paper w/ Joel Le Forestier at JEP: General!🚨 We conducted 2 mega-experiments totaling over 28,000 participants and 50 conditions. We wanted to find the most effective interventions to reduce implicit weight prejudice across 5 implicit measures. 🧵
1/n) Our latest work is out today in @NatureNeuro! We developed a streaming “brain-to-voice” neuroprosthesis which restores naturalistic, fluent, intelligible speech to a person who has paralysis. nature.com/articles/s4159…
New preprint! My entry into the ongoing AI empathy discussion: "Reframing the performance and ethics of 'empathic' AI: Wisdom of the crowd and placebos." osf.io/preprints/psya…

🚨3rd preprint from my lab out! with my awesome grad @LuJunsong19474🌟 How do people mentally represent numerous inferences about others?🤯 Prior work proposed low-dimensional rep with latent dimensions We show high-dimensional network brings new insights🧵👇…
Our department @PsychPrinceton is hosting the VIPS program again this summer! PhD students at other universities who do not have summer funds can spend 2 months working in the labs of @DianaTamir, @olsonista, or Rebecca Carey. Spread the word! psychology.princeton.edu/diversity/visi…
Is "virtue signaling" fueling a culture of outrage that destroys our sensitivity to nuance & drives us to harshly punish alleged wrongdoers, even if we’re not sure they deserve it? Paper w/@NourKteily, just accepted @ JPSP, explores these questions! osf.io/preprints/psya… 🧵👇
So excited to introduce this new work from myself, @ThaliaWheatley , and @meghanlmeyer out now in @PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Our paper on the Affective Gradient Hypothesis is now out on @TrendsCognSci! 🧠 ➡️sciencedirect.com/science/articl… For a short summary of how this theory originated and what it proposes, see this 🧵:
I'm very excited to share a preprint from a passion project I've been working on this past year! This came out of trying to work through two puzzles that have been bothering me for a while, and which are at the core of almost everything most of us study. osf.io/preprints/psya…

How do we reach agreement? @HaranSened,@shannon47burns @DianaTamir @falklab @L_MwilambweT, Lily Tsoi and I just published a preprint on the conversational dynamics supporting agreement. Dive in to see how exploring diverse perspectives makes a difference. [1/8] 🧵
One week left! Apply now for 3 years of funded research at PNI with the CV Starr Fellowship. Applications close 9/15. ⭐️pni.princeton.edu/apply/postdocs…
🧵1/ Ever wondered what makes for a good conversation? @shannon47burns @DianaTamir @falklab @L_MwilambweT, Lily Tsoi and I used fMRI hyperscanning to answer this question by tracking the dynamics of naturalistic conversations. Now out in @NatureComms! doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
New in @NatureNeuro, we present DPAD, a deep learning method for dynamical modeling of neural-behavioral data & dissociating behaviorally relevant dynamics. It enables diverse neurotech & neuroscience use-cases. 👏@omidsani 💻github.com/ShanechiLab/DP… 📜nature.com/articles/s4159… 🧵⬇️
