The psychological implications of Big Brother’s gaze

“It’s a mechanism that evolved for us to detect other agents and potential threats in our environment, such as predators and other humans, and it seems to be enhanced when we’re being watched on CCTV."

🦋 Intro time! I’m a systems neuroscientist working to understand *how* the brain prioritizes *what* to remember. As a postdoc in the Giocomo lab at Stanford, I currently use 2P imaging and ephys to study reward memory in the hippocampus and its partners. 🧠🐀🐭
