Proud to present my first EVER last-author paper 😱

This was a project that my former master student @MBanwinkler & I did together with @MarkusRuetgen & @ClausLamm (@ScanUnit).

🗝️-message: No robust association between self-reported painkiller intake & empathy/prosociality. 💊

[Dr. Helena Hartmann @helenahhartmann]

Are you working in the field of empathy for pain and are looking for some great stimuli? 🤔

We created 29 stimuli you can use in picture-based tasks - from cigarette burns & squashed hands to hot coffee 😵

The stimuli: https://t.co/fCm0u2swGQ

Happy to share our latest paper in which we looked at how we juggle morally conflicting outcomes when we learn https://t.co/qeGxSgrqYH

[Livia Tomova @livia_tomova]

New preprint! We found that short term isolation increases reward seeking and reinforcement learning rates in adolescents (N=40, within-subject). Access to social media partially remediates isolation effects but also decreases learning from social feedback https://t.co/dsATB0DVHo

[Daniela M. Pfabigan (@[email protected]) @DPfabigan]

Have you ever wondered if being hungry makes it easier to detect the smell of a yummy 🥐?
So did @UtaSailer @Cecivez Per M. Thorsby and I - hence we conducted an experiment!!

Can't wait to host our symposium on the development & evolution of the social brain with @ClausLamm at @escan2022 tomorrow at 10 am (TC.5.03). @trinh_nguyen9, @GazzolaValeria, @EvoNeuro and I, will present comparative work with infants, rodents, primates & dogs 🧠👶🐀🐒🐶

[Dr. Helena Hartmann @helenahhartmann]

Judit Campepadrós and I host an @escan2022 symposium on "the righteous choice"!

If you're interested in moral conflict and social decision-making, listen to @DrJoCutler, @lei_zhang_lz, @jbengelmann, @brain_apps and us talking about it tomorrow on Wed at 2.30 pm in room TC.5.01!

[Dr. Helena Hartmann @helenahhartmann]

Step 31: Last paper of the PhD thesis got accepted at Psychological Science (@PsychScience) literally last minute aka two days before my defense ✨ brb changing my slides 😂

As always a team effort with @ClausLamm, @MarkusRuetgen, and Paul Forbes! 💪

🚨Preprint🚨
Together with @ClausLamm & @HenrykBukowski we argue that SOD for motor, cognitive, & affective mental representations 1) is supported by distinct and not a unitary process; 2) recruits domain-general processes related to a cognitive control only to a limited extent

[Leah Mayo @MayoOnTheBrain]

May be a good time to mention that @mayobrainlab will be recruiting 1-2 postdocs to lead projects involving #psychedelics & #cannabinoids in SUDs, PTSD. Esp looking for candidates w human neuroimaging &/or behav pharm experience. Ad posted SOON but please reach out if interested!

[tor wager @torwager]

We are hiring a new lab manager at the Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab @dartmouth @DartmouthPBS! Please RT, get in touch, and/or apply! https://t.co/3WsoXJgqj3

Will a sleep deprived doctor be less emphatic to your pain? Will it affect the way she treats you? Sadly, yes. 1/

[Amit Goldenberg @Amit_Goldenb]

Emotions are rarely communicated by a single expression. In a new paper @NatureHumBehav we ask: How do we aggregate emotional expressions over time? We show that memory of stronger expressions leads people to overweigh these expressions and overestimate emotional sequences.
