Why do people process language differently from each other? In a new paper, @esfinn and I show that the “concreteness” of word meanings plays a central role in shaping our unique experiences of natural language. Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Thread below! 1/9

Now out! Using the same individuals across four short movies, we show that we can reliably and automatically capture individual differences in the location of event boundaries! Link here: academic.oup.com/cercor/adva…

Next up: we live our day-to-day lives chronologically. But when we learn about other people, we often hear bits and pieces from different times in their life. What's more, storytellers often manipulate the order in which they relay events for dramatic effect 1/7

First up: a stimulus with 💡is clearly visual, a stimulus with 🔊 is clearly auditory. But what makes a stimulus "social"? What makes a stimulus social for some people but not others? @Rekha_Va used data from the @HumanConnectome social cognition task to tackle this question 1/8

We @FINNLab_neuro @DartmouthPBS are hiring a postdoc to study individual differences in social perception! Creativity, enthusiasm, + experience in computational visual and/or social neuroscience highly desirable. More info below. Informal inquiries welcome. Please RT!

The @Dartmouth Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences invites applications for a Faculty Fellow: a postdoc appointment that will *automatically* convert to a regular full-time tenure track assistant professorship after 2 years! Details: apply.interfolio.com/91998

✨🚨Preprint w/@esfinn! With naturalistic stimuli, we're overlooking something: Media like film & TV *are not natural* & THATs what makes them useful! Here, we bring a media perspective to the psych/neuro table to answer “how do I use media for science?” psyarxiv.com/c8z9t

Warm welcome to our new postdoc Rekha Varrier! Rekha has a strong background in vision science, and she'll be tackling some exciting projects on how low-level physical properties affect complex social percepts. Happy science-ing and hiking in the Upper Valley, @Rekha_Va!

I tentatively plan to recruit 1-2 new PhD students this cycle @FINNLab_neuro @Dartmouth - check out Mark's thread below for recent and ongoing efforts to make our department as welcoming and inclusive as possible!
Interested in a PhD in psychology and brain science @dartmouth? Our department has taken steps to make applying easier than ever! These include eliminating the application fee, dropping the GRE requirement, and assembling an FAQ to demystify the process: pbs.dartmouth.edu/menufeatur…

The title speaks for itself. Naturalistic stimuli are more effective in drawing out individual differences than "resting state."
