Of we nu kleding kopen op Vinted of een huisje boeken via Airbnb, vaak vormen we direct onbewuste oordelen over de verkopers en verhuurders. Maar een betrouwbaar gezicht betekent niet noodzakelijk een betrouwbaar persoon.

Iedereen raakt wel eens de weg kwijt, maar meestal helpt Google Maps ons dan snel uit de brand. Maar er zijn ook mensen met 'atopia': extreme last van verdwalen, zelfs zo dat ze zonder hulp nooit de weg kunnen vinden. Wie zijn zij? Ineke van der Ham schreef erover: nl.in-mind.org/article/alti...

Verwachtingen kunnen ons onderzoeksproces sturen en resultaten vervormen. Daarom moeten wetenschappers zich tegen die verwachtingen beschermen en #openscience kan daarbij helpen. In het kader van #openscienceweek schreef @liannewolsink.bsky.social hierover een blog: nl.in-mind.org/blog/post/wr...

Zweetreacties, gemeten via huidgeleiding, kunnen onbewust verraden wat iemand weet of voelt, doordat ze worden beïnvloed door emoties zoals angst of spanning. Meer weten? Lees het blog van Lianne Wolsink op onze website (inclusief prachtige eigen tekening)!

Sociale media lijken een verzamelplaats voor huis-, tuin- en keukenartsen, doemdenkers, en complottheoretici geworden. Wat zijn de gevolgen van 'fake news', wie is er vatbaar voor en vooral: wat doen we ertegen? Lotte Slootmaekers bespreekt het in dit nieuwe artikel! nl.in-mind.org/article/www-...

Excited to be presenting my poster this Friday at #INSAR25!
It dives into the theory of the double empathy problem, with a focus on how well people with and without autism can understand each other’s thoughts when they share (or don’t share) the same neurotype. Come say hi!
