Two awards will be given:
1️⃣ for human research
1️⃣ for non-human animal research
Bonus for providing information on your open science practices (e.g. data, code, and resource sharing, preprinting manuscripts).
Self-nominations are allowed! 😁
✨ EARLY CAREER AWARD nominations are open! ✨
This award recognizes the formation of new approaches or paradigms within the field of social neuroscience, and/or the development or advancement of research that cuts across multiple fields of neuroscience to understand social cognition & behavior. 🏆
This is super cool-
Monitoring gene expression in the brain with a simple blood test?
In collaboration with @jerzyszablowski.bsky.social & his lab we figured out how to do it nonhuman primates using noninvasive neuroengineering of synthetic serum markers.

That was fun! Thanks to everyone who joined us for the First Göttingen Cognition Forum this week.
We really appreciated the many talks and posters and the lively atmosphere at the meeting. We feel this was a great start and we hope that the Cognition Forum will continue ...

Excited to share this super comprehensive review of psychedelic research in NHPs! W/ Alex Kwan. This work was by our grad student Jamie who is passionate about psychedelics. Her in-depth knowledge is impressive as reflected here.

Super excited to share this new collaborative work - marmosets use diverse and highly flexible strategies when they cooperate. These strategies are powerfully determined by both social factors (sex, dominance, familiarity) & individual partner identity.

Very timely and insightful OpEd by Prof. Cory Miller on WSJ. It lays out an important point - Advanced AI cannot be developed in a vacuum without understanding the sophisticated machines we have in our brains.
