Delighted that my ERC AdG #HarmAversion was selected. At @sbl_nin/@NIN_knaw with @GazzolaValeria, we’ll study how brains learn to avoid harming others. Neuropixels in freely moving animals + social behavior/learning? Reach out—we’ll recruit soon.
its international #hugday: a great day to hug and be hugged! We reviewed the literature and were struck by how strongly touch can improve your physical and mental health (see our meta doi.org/10.1038/s415...)! So go ahead and give a hug, and let us know how it feels!#hugday
In the meta we performed with
@sbl_nin @GazzolaValeria
dozens of studies showed being touched, often as a massage, has significant benefits for mental and physical health. With giving a hug having zero cost, shouldn't we just hug more? Did you hug this morning?
We have another exciting postdoc position opening in our lab, for people passionate about making sense of complex neuroscience data (neuropixel, calcium imaging and similar): vacatures.knaw.nl/job/Amster…
And here a little graphic advertisement for the position vacatures.knaw.nl/job-invite…
If you know of a talented master student, that likes working with rodents and wants to find ways to measure emotions in rodents using psychophysiological methods, we have an exciting 6 months research assistant position open @sbl_nin vacatures.knaw.nl/job-invite…
How do you perceive what other do and feel? With @GazzolaValeria and @SilaniLab we reviewed mounting evidence that the brain doesn't so much react to how others feel and what they do - it perceives predictions generated via our own actions and emotions. doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.…

Proud to share our new publication showing the benefits of touch just published in Nature Human Behavior: Thank you @j_packheiser , @GazzolaValeria, @helenahhartmann, @Fred_Michon for making this possible at the @sbl_nin @NIN_knaw. nin.nl/news/new-study-highli….
Excited to share our new paper: via intracranial human recordings we show that the mirror neuron system really is a predictive coding system: prediction originating from premotor cortex inhibit occipital visual responses. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…
We had proposed this experiment in my ERC grant in 2012 - it only took 10 years ;-). Thank you so much @ChaoyiQin @GazzolaValeria @Fred_Michon Yoshi Onuki and Pascal Fries for this wonderful collaboration! Also nicely matches our depth resolved 7T data...
We are looking for two PhD students, so if you know any talented master students please do encourage them to apply! forms.gle/AszzB82jqF8LBL3T6
