🚨 New paper: Psychological, social, and health-related factors predict risk for financial exploitation (Yang et al @jenyangyi.bsky.social @dfareri.bsky.social) out in Communications Psychology.
It’s not just age/income—trust, fairness, and emotion regulation matter too.

🚨 New preprint: Contributions of default mode network to subjective valuation and maladaptive decision making (PsyArXiv). We argue the DMN shapes how we value choices — and how its disruption contributes to poor decisions.

Results from three studies that examined 1,918 U.S. adults show that financial exploitation risk is heightened by an interplay of sociodemographic, health, cognitive, and psychosocial vulnerabilities.

Thanks @jenikubota.bsky.social & @profpaulboxer.bsky.social! I’m excited to take this on and to have the chance to work with you, Jeni, and our community during these challenging times.

Come to sunny San Diego, April 14-20, 2026, for #SANS2026!

What's with the revival of "limbic"? In recent cog neuro textbooks, papers, and scientific talks, I've seen more of the "limbic system" than I have for years.

Affective neuroscientists argued that this idea should be thrown out *25 years ago*. Why are we backsliding? #friendsdontletfriendssaylimbic

Science doesn’t grow in a vacuum; it thrives on shared ideas and fresh perspectives. Thanks to #sans2025 for building bridges and connecting the dots, and to @elisabaek.bsky.social & @jfguassimoreira.bsky.social for creating the opportunity!

Please share! @sparksociety.bsky.social @affectscience.bsky.social @blackinneuro.bsky.social #psychjobs
