Loved working on this with you guys!
New review! We synthesized literature on empathic AI: AI-generated emotional support is rated higher than human responses, but people's knowledge of the source shapes their perceptions. W/ @desmond-ong.bsky.social @amit-goldenberg.bsky.social @anatperry.bsky.social

In the past year and a half, we have been intensively protesting and fighting the Israeli government in an attempt to stop the war, secure the release of all hostages, and prevent the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Until now, our protests have primarily been focused internally.

Even when AI gets it exactly right, people still prefer empathy they believe came from a human.
A new study led by #HUJI Prof. @anatperry.bsky.social, in collaboration with @harvard.edu and @utaustin.bsky.social, shows the human touch still matters.

People Prefer Human Empathy, Even When AI Says the Same Thing - Neuroscience News
A new study shows that people rate empathic responses as more supportive and emotionally satisfying when they believe they come from a human—even if the same response is AI-generated.

In this study, @anatperry.bsky.social @desmond-ong.bsky.social et al show that human-attributed responses are rated as more empathic than AI-attributed ones, especially when conveying shared experience and care.

Thrilled to share @MatanRubin1 's first empirical paper, just out in @nathumbehav.nature.com . A significant step in understanding how people respond to #AI vs human #empathy, and what we value in human connection.

Apply if you want to investigate brain orchestration in visual (free!) exploration. You will learn a bunch of cool cog neuro techniques, and get to work with a great team of scientists within and beyond the lab.

Check out @michalehmann.bsky.social ‘s new paper on intellectual humility and empathy! And thank you Michal for introducing me to the important and relevant field of intellectual humility research
Intellectual humility allows us to better understand others’ emotions and care for them without becoming overwhelmed. This holds true for both ingroup and outgroup members, as we found in the complex relational context of Israel—among Jewish and Arab Israelis.

If you're interested in the intersect between psychology, neuroscience and linguistics, make sure to check out @maya_inbar's and @ayeletlandau.bsky.social latest preprint. I've had the privilege to work with her on a previous project, and it was a delight!
Excited to inaugurate my bluesky presence with this exciting preprint! Lead by the one and only Maya Inbar and together w Eitan Grossman we investigated temporal structure of prosodic units in over forty languages. Check out what we found!
