So excited to introduce this new work from myself, @ThaliaWheatley , and @meghanlmeyer out now in @PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🧵 Excited to share Oculizer, a Python module I've been developing for the past year! It enables automated control of programmable lighting fixtures, making them react to music in real-time. Here's how it works... (1/7)

Music is an incredibly powerful retrieval cue. What is the neural basis of music-evoked memory reactivation? And how does this reactivation relate to later memory? In our new study, we used Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to find out. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are excited to announce this year's Shared Reality Virtual Conference happening Wednesday March 12 & Thursday March 13, 2025, between 9:50 AM - 1:10 PM ET! You can register below to receive the Zoom link! Submit a data blitz anytime until Feb 7. northwestern.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cC…

Social rejection hurts, but it also offers information we can learn from. Our latest work links the brain’s ‘social rejection’ network to learning, giving a computational account of neural responses to social rejection. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Thrilled to see our paper on conversation & “the self” out in @PNASNews. The brilliant @c_welk & @thaliawheatley were a joy to work with on this! Check out first-author @c_welk’s thread below! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

last week, i had the opportunity to give my first in-person talk and attend my first-ever #cogsci2024! had the absolute best time :-) special thanks to my collaborators on this project @c_welk @_helenschmidt_ @lukejchang @hawkrobe & my stage mom @emma__templeton for this photo!

*Very* excited to see the last study of my PhD making the cover of @ScienceMagazine on the macaques of @CayoSantiagoPR. We show that ecological disturbances can alter selective pressures on social ties leading to persistent societal changes. shorturl.at/i2WIB 🧵👇

Missing Person Report in #NewHampshire #Vermont #DartmouthCollege Kexin Cai 115 lbs, 25 years old, 5.7 ft Last seen May 15th with Biktrix white electronic bike. For any information that can help us find her please call Lebanon police dispatch at 603 448 1212”

We talk to share how we see the world. Here, we show that natural consensus-building conversation leads to future neural synchrony. Deeply satisfying to see this in print. With @c_welk , @HassonLab , @akleinb , and @ThaliaWheatley link.springer.com/article/10.103…
