Year 3 comes to a close.

Grateful for steady growth and small wins—a seed grant, journal R&Rs, and new manuscripts in the works.

Thank you to the students, RAs, and lab manager for showing up with care, curiosity, and energy.

Wishing all the best to those graduating.

📊 Key finding:
Participants over-attributed AI generation, labeling nearly 60% of all images as synthetic—even though only half were.
This "AI attribution bias" leads to:
✅ Higher accuracy detecting synthetic images
❌ Lower accuracy recognizing authentic images (5/)

We have a new tutorial out in Social Cog methods issue, a resampling tool we made in R that basically tells you when some average is "stable" and can be used to guide data collection or test hypotheses related to variance. Quick explanation here

I'll be presenting work led by Anqi Mao, a PhD student of mine, on improving human detection of AI-generated faces via training. This kicks off a new direction in our lab's research on social perception and interaction in digitally mediated contexts. More to come! @ohlab.bsky.social

Six years in the making, a postdoc project with @freemanjb.bsky.social is finally now out in print. Many thanks to Jon and @hennavartiainen.bsky.social and everyone who made this important work possible.
New findings from my lab in Nature Communications suggest that racial stereotypes can lead the brain's perceptual system to temporarily "see" weapons where they don't exist.

The results open a path for new interventions that don’t just target stereotypes but also attempt to recalibrate biased visual perception directly, with the hopes of mitigating such high-stakes misjudgments under stress and uncertainty.

While past work has generally assumed such weapon-identification biases involve an accurate perception of the object but then a racially biased impulse that is difficult to control, our findings suggest that part of the problem is a temporary visual distortion as well.

These neural representational shifts predicted subjects' delays in recognizing these tools as tools, rather than weapons, suggesting an initial tendency to perceive them as weapons.

Using neural decoding techniques, we find that when subjects saw a Black man’s face before an image of a tool, their brain’s object-processing regions shifted toward a weapon-like representation.

Unarmed Black people in the US are 3X more likely than unarmed White people to be shot and killed by police. In many tragic cases, unarmed Black men were holding innocuous objects like a wrench, wallet, or cell phone when fatally shot by an officer.
