Still feeling proud post-SIPS @improvingpsych.org ,our project ARIADNE was awarded a SIPS Commendation! It’s been a long path, but we made it.
Tool’s live here: igor-biodgps.github.io/ARIADNE
Paper is out too: doi.org/10.1177/2515...

A recent MIT study arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872 found that repeated use of AI writing assistants can subtly shift how people reason and write. So how will researchers’ brains change in the long run?
Anyone else curious how neuropsych will tackle this?

Brought my IGOR bag (from last week’s #PuG2025 @igor-dgps.bsky.social) to SIPS @improvingpsych.org, full circle moment. Both have shaped how I approach open, reproducible neuro + psych research and collaborative methods. Ps. Brainhack still hits different for the nerdiest magic.

Our findings show that direct gaze amplifies neural signals related to expectation violations when excluded — suggesting it heightens sensitivity to social rejection cues. Meanwhile, averted gaze increased negative mood but lowered these brain responses.

If you're interested in this topic, I recently published a study exploring how direct vs. averted gaze changes brain responses during social exclusion, using EEG and the Cyberball paradigm.

Just wrapped up a lecture on how eye gaze modulates brain responses to social exclusion using eye-tracking! My students dug into related topics today — really proud of their work! Some of it even ties into my own research. Always open to collabs! #Empathy #EyeTracking #Exclusion #attachment #culture

Excited to be a jury member for our PhD student’s defense soon! As a #ECR, I'm still learning the ropes.
I've picked up tips from others, but we need a better system for training effective reviewers and jurors. Any tips for fostering open, effective communication during the defense?

In the US, 43% of women in full-time science roles scale back or exit the workforce after their first child, versus 23% of new fathers. How can academic institutions better support women in balancing careers with motherhood? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Preparing for the summer semester with essential handbooks on non-verbal cues, facial expressions, social interactions and EEG's role in social neuroscience (added watermarks to avoid misuse). Fellow researchers, what are your go-to resources? #teaching

Our dataset follows 10 participants as they read “The Little Prince” and “Garnett Dream” in Chinese, captured through high-density EEG and eye-tracking. It includes raw EEG data, eye movement details, and derivatives like NLP model text embeddings and pre-processed EEG data.

Struggling with #Overpublishing as an ECR? The #paper output now surpasses the number of #PhDs, and my long review times reflect erratic publisher speeds and rejection rates (e.g., MDPI at 37 days vs Nature at 185). Maybe what we need is regulatory mandate for open access to publishers' statistics.
