🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

New paper out in Emotion, with @assalhabibi, Shrikanth Narayanan and Timothy Greer! We replicate and extend previous findings to show that music-evoked nostalgia is a primarily positive, but still mixed, feeling that is influenced by personality.

President @PresidentFolt and Provost @uscprovost Attached is a statement, signed by 36 members of the Psychology Department, condemning the silencing of our valedictorian and the draconian handling of recent student-led protests. @USCPsychology @USCDornsife @darbysaxbe

My op-Ed on interpreting brain imaging data related to kids and social media in the LATimes today!

[Morteza Dehghani @MortezDehghani]

Ashamed to be @USC faculty today! Peaceful protest led by young activists, saw my students & colleagues there. Nothing violent/disrespectful/anti-Semitic. USC silencing the valedictorian was wrong, and their actions since are even worse. This is shameful, immoral.

[USC Center for Music, Brain and Society @usc_cmbs]

🗓️Mark your calendars for the upcoming Arts and Medicine Webinar, hosted by the #USC Provost and Academic Senate on 4/10. Our director @AssalHabibi will be on the panel and member @JDKun will be moderating this event. Everyone is welcome!

I'm delighted to share that our lab has contributed to a groundbreaking anthology that explores the profound effects of music and art on health and the human experience! "Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Wellness" edited by Renée Fleming. #musicscience

[Anthony G Vaccaro @AGVacca]

The main study from my dissertation is now published in Cerebral Cortex! With this study, we used fMRI and an Oscar-nominated animated short to make progress on how mixed feelings arise in the brain- *how* does heartbreak feel good in a place like this? https://t.co/I7C9cJjlsF
