Changes in the eye's pupil can reveal how we react to exciting things. But can they help us to understand reward processing using slot machines? In our new study in @PLOSONE, we untangle different effects of slot machines on human eyes as a potential indicator of arousal. 🧵1/17

Yesterday I accepted an offer to make my dream job permanent. Huge as that is, work today feels exactly the same as it always has. I think that’s a sign of how good I’ve had it in my contract positions.

Drinking buddies can provide insight on drinking motivations! Check out our study:
MAAC Lab@MAACLab_Dal29 Jul 2022
