Can we voluntarily control our empathy toward the pain of others? If so, is it affected by intergroup bias? In our new publication, using EEG and self-report we adress these questions with @CasparEmilie , Félix Banderembaho and Eva Nicolay https://t.co/ECTsX144dS

[Emilie Caspar @CasparEmilie]

Empathy can be a motivated phenomenon. But can (will?) people increase or decrease their neural empathic responses when witnessing members of an "outgroup" as well?
With @PechGP, Eva Nicolay and Félix Banderembaho

34% of Prolific participants self-report using LLMs, so the real number is presumably higher

Thrilled to share our new review—a comparative analysis in neuroscience on how social influence (social presence, conformity, compliance, obedience) impacts decision-making and resistance mechanisms

Researchers find nearly 30% of papers “that stated significances (or their absence) are based on the presence of a single influential data point.”

This is next week, and it will be live-streamed! To join --> https://t.co/KUijAhgw87
I'll be presenting my research in a TED Talk-style format, covering the neuroscience of obedience and my recent work on former genocide perpetrators and rescuers.

Here's our latest initiative to make research on consciousness engaging for young readers!👧👦

We just published an open-access paper in Frontiers for Young Minds 🌟 with contributions by Inès Mentec, @LMoncoucy and @axelcleeremans from our team. 👏

Major Milestone!
My book is finally out and available worldwide! 📚✨
It represents the culmination of 8 years of neuroscientific research, but it is also an intense human journey with interviews with former genocide perpetrators from Rwanda and Cambodia.

Trying to educate my rabbits with the title of my new book "Just following orders".
I hope they will never open it ! 🤫🤫

Thrilled to see my first official review of the book by @PublishersWkly !
Unfortunately, the publication is a bit delayed due to a cyberattack. However, the book is available for pre-sale on many platforms :)

How obeying orders impacts moral decision? In our recent publictation 🎉 with @CasparEmilie, we observed that cognitive conflict (1) is reduced under coercion, (2) is linked with the number of shocks sent. #EEG #Neuroscience https://t.co/39IqVmEdcP

What a day ...
It's not every day that you meet a hero, especially one you praised in a scientific project.
Yesterday, I met the man I mention in the very first line of my @ERC_Research grant while being in Kigali!
Working in science can also be an incredible human adventure

So happy to see this work finally out, it waa such an inspiring collaboration!

#EEG related question
A participant revealed he has a cyst (with water), creating a small bump around the occipital region. Does anyone know if this is an issue for EEG recordings? It might increase the distance between the brain and the electrode, but it is water. Any insights?
