As we near the holidays, I wanted to take the opportunity to express my gratitude and show-off the amazing folks helping build out the Social Computations and Interacting Minds Research Studio. We have so many exciting things brewing and can't wait to share them with you soon!

Recently proposed U.S. policies including cuts to NIH funding, keyword censorship of grants, withdrawal of information from the public, and mass layoffs of employees in federal agencies threaten the integrity of science and well-being of people throughout the world.

The question we ask: when do face responses arise in human infant cortex?

Neuroscientists and developmental psychologists (my two disciplines) have different intuitions.

Our fearless conference co-chairs all ready for the start of #SANS2025! @elisabaek.bsky.social @jfguassimoreira.bsky.social! Looking forward to seeing everyone at the pre-conference tomorrow!

Grievances 16-19 in Declaration of Independence

17. "For imposing taxes on us without our consent"
18. "For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Jury trial"
19. "For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences"

Just wrapped up my 1st quarter teaching as a new prof @UCLA and want to share some highlights from a new course we offered now that we have an official Social & Affective Neuroscience (SAN) area! In the SAN Lab course, students (n=21) learned about & applied psych methods to SAN research questions

Thank youuu!

I can't overstate the incredible support from my post-doc mentors @lukejchang.bsky.social & @esfinn.bsky.social and my faculty mentors @thaliawheatley.bsky.social & @jeremyrmanning.bsky.social . I can't do justice to the journey + people in a thread, so look out for a longer post later this year 🥲.

Lab I'm joining @UCSDPsychology as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2025! I'll be starting a lab group and hiring, checkout for more details.

Some very exciting news... after many, many, winter beards, I'm overjoyed to be joining sunny @UCSDPsychology as an Asst Prof in Jan 2025!

Looking to recruit folks interested in doing some fun science, while building some cool (and useful) toys! Details: eshinjolly.com/lab/

Our lab is hiring a lab manager/RA to start in summer 2024! Learn cutting-edge behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging tools applied to big Qs in cog&social psych. Send qs my way, and apply through the official posting here: searchjobs.dartmouth.edu/postings/727...

New paper demonstrating the hidden cost of receiving favors led by Xiaoxue Gao with @eshjolly.bsky.social, Hongbo Yu, Huiying Liu, & Xiaolin Zhou. We demonstrate that brain patterns of emotional states can be integrated with economic utility models to predict reciprocity behavior bit.ly/41Pm7O2.

My first bsky post! New paper in Perspectives with my fantastic colleagues on why we need to better understand social interaction & how new tools are accelerating that progress.👇

Attention neuroscientsts!

We just launched Neurosynth Compose: A free and open platform for neuroimaging meta-analysis. NS-Compose makes it easy to perform custom neuroimaging meta-analyses without leaving the browser.

It's live, check it out! compose.neurosynth.org

asking for an image of a professor and asking to make it "more professor", a thread.

blot.im is very cool. Open source, simple, and paid option very reasonable and goes to supporting indie dev and hosting fees.

1. Imagine we land a space probe on one of Jupiters’ moons, take up a sample of material, and find it is full of organic molecules. How can we tell whether those molecules are just randomly assembled goo or the outcome of some evolutionary process taking place there? 🧪

The Social & Affective Neuroscience Society is happy to be here on Bluesky! Please follow for content highlighting the exciting work and brilliant people that make up this great organization.

Pymer4 0.8.1 now has support for arm-based macs (m1, m2, etc) and Python versions up to 3.11! Sorry for the delay on this folks 😅 eshinjolly.com/pymer4/new.h...

Happy to use my first "skeet" (?) to announce that the Functional Imaging and Naturalistic Neuroscience (FINN) Lab is recruiting a PhD student this cycle! Check out our website to learn more about us and what we do: thefinnlab.github.io 🌲🧠🌲 Apps thru Dartmouth PBS: pbs.dartmouth.edu/menufeature/...

✨ Now out in Psychological Review! ✨

We present a new account of relevance that weighs both *epistemic* and *decision-theoretic* utility: statements are relevant if they improve the accuracy of listener’s beliefs *and* their future decision-making.
