New Open dataset alert:
🧠 Introducing "Spacetop" – a massive multimodal fMRI dataset that bridges naturalistic and experimental neuroscience!
N = 101 x 6 hours each = 606 functional iso-hours combining movies, pain, faces, theory-of-mind and other cognitive tasks!

🗣️ New paper alert! Ever wonder how strangers navigate the messy world of casual conversation? We analyzed 200+ video calls to uncover the hidden structure behind "idle talk" – and found it's way more systematic than you'd think!

Thrilled to share that my first, first-author paper is out now!
Using an episode of 'Survivor', we find that distinct features of conversation – semantic similarity, emotional tone, and confidence – strongly inform observers about underlying social relationships.

Linguistic properties of memory expression differentially relate to accuracy, specificity, and perceived veracity - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
When communicating our memories to others, we use specific language to represent and express those memories. However, whether the linguistic properties associated with memory expression, such as commu...

Very excited to share our new emotion regulation use and forecasting paper in JEP:G
We studied ER using high-intensity settings (e.g., haunted houses) and stimuli (e.g., horror movies) and with subjects not trained in ER strategies or even prompted to regulate in some cases.

Reappraisal and Distraction of Intense Emotions: Use and Forecasting in Naturalistic Studies
Researchers often study how we manage emotions in controlled settings, using participants who are trained in specific strategies, told when to use them, and given limited options for self-regulation. ...

Thrilled to announce that I received the notice of award for my NRSA F31! I'll be exploring behavioral, neurocognitive, and cardiovascular signals that support social-relational learning, with the goal of reducing loneliness across the lifespan. Huge thanks to my mentorship team!
