For my first BlueSky post I want to share this freshly published paper in PNAS @pnas.org!
We show how belief and disbelief shape narrative processing in the brain, not just as opposites of a continuum, but as distinct effects, including a cool truth/belief bias.

My favourite part of writing is naming studies/proposals after somewhat obscure films, feeling clever until a peer deletes the title without mercy.
This round: 'The Self of Another', inspired by 'The Face of Another'.

This project wouldn’t have come together without the amazing team -- Tomer Zipori and @louisteitelbaum.bsky.social for the heavy lifting and computational analysis, @lewan.bsky.social for his insight, and @profsanderlinden.bsky.social whose vision made this possible. Truly grateful for this!

✅We find that prebunking interventions improve people's ability to discern between reliable & unreliable news without causing undue skepticism!

Ever feel like people who believe the same story are on the same wavelength? Their brains might just be.

New preprint alert! 🐥
"Continued memory for misinformation, continued trust in the sources that spread it: The effects of language and self-correction".
In my completely unbiased opinion, it’s a very nice and interesting read!

NEW preprint!
We study cases with several meanings (e.g., replying “I’m feeling sick” to “Wanna go to the beach?”). How does being truthful in one meaning, but maybe not another, shape perceived commitment to each meaning and overall trust in a speaker?

How scientific value is too often measured in dollars
In this post, I want to touch on something a bit more controversial.
