👉 In this trial (RT = 458 ms), how should we count fixations and compute total fixation duration on the target image? What’s the most correct way for these three cases? Curious how others handle this in their analyses! #EyeTracking #Methods #OpenScience #psychology

differentiate between covert vs overt fixations, and then see if behavior differs between all such cases. Fixation is not equivalent to attention, but it can be. (2/n)

Got the answer after 1 long year of search. Short answer no direct way to classify. Long answer, keep all these 3 cases separately (1/n)

Awesome thread about dopamine and its role in reinforcement learning. One of the most surprising findings in the study of dopamine: It spikes when you anticipate something pleasurable. Not when you get it - just before you do. 🤯

If dopamine = pleasure... Then why does chocolate still taste good when it’s blocked? Because dopamine isn’t about liking. It’s about wanting and learning. Let’s rewire how we think about the world's most popular neurochemical 🧵

Thrilled to see this study officially published in @eLife. Link here: elifesciences.org/articles/9… and 🧵 below. Huge thanks to Dr. Emily Adamic @EmilyAdamic, believe it or not, this study was a small part of her overall PhD thesis!
Hemispheric divergence of interoceptive processing across psychiatric disorders

Hemispheric divergence of interoceptive processing across psychiatric disorders

Asymmetric activation of the dysgranular mid-insula during interoceptive processing contributes to disrupted bodily awareness in individuals with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.

Interoception relies upon the bidirectional trafficking of brain-body signals. But where in the brain do these two information streams meet? Our latest study localized this interaction for cardiorespiratory sensation and examined how it might differ across psychiatric disorders

Huge congratulations to @apiejka on successfully defending her PhD thesis, which explores the connections between loneliness, cognition, and parasympathetic activity. We couldn’t be prouder-your work truly bridges minds and hearts. We’re excited to see the impact you’ll make! 🎉

As an empathy researcher, I have been frustrated for a long time by the jumble of definitions we use, which is preventing progress. Grateful to the authors for taking this important step, and will GLADLY go with these definitions moving forward.

"Theory of mind" "Mentalization" "Cognitive empathy" and so on. These are all important concepts, but the terminology on mental state attribution is inconsistent. This paper makes useful recommendations. Defining key concepts for mental state attribution nature.com/articles/s44271-0…
