My book "Just Following Orders" is now available in #Korean. Interestingly, its release in #SouthKorea almost coincided with the recent declaration of martial law by the former president in an authoritarian manner. Article --> www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2...

Not an academic success, but a success in patience! After 1.2 years, Popoleon (the black and white) finally accepted a candy from my hand! Maybe two more years before I can touch him, I guess! 😅 #patience #perseverance

#DeepSeek is clearly biased. When asked about the current situation of the Uyghurs, the response starts but is then suppressed. This does not happen with other historical events. #NotReliable

I need help on a type 3 error example errorstatistics.com/2022/01/14/p... « A genuine P-value for the statistical null does not say much about the scientific null. Here is a more nuanced example: do academic audiences interrupt female speakers more often than they interrupt male speakers?» 1/3

My cat, Euclid, always applies weird geometrical laws to drink his water. 🧐😼 He had earned a feature in my book for his impressive grasp of causal laws. Now I'm thinking how to integrate this unique way to drink water into the next one! #science 🧪 #catlovers

Can we voluntarily control our empathy toward the pain of others? If so, is it affected by intergroup bias? In our new publication, using EEG and self-report we adress these questions with @emiliecaspar.bsky.social, Félix Banderembaho and Eva Nicolay www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Empathy can be a motivated phenomenon. But can (will?) people increase or decrease their neural empathic responses when witnessing members of an "outgroup" as well? With @guillaumepech.bsky.social, Eva Nicolay and Félix Banderembaho. 🧪 New paper out! --> www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I thought that becoming a scientist would be hard but apparently not. You just have to « be incompetent » and « fail replicating ». FYI it’s not the take home message. You can found more relevant information in the paper of @lakens.bsky.social on the crisis in psychology osf.io/preprints/ps...

My very first text for #laypeople in #Dutch about my research on #obedience and genocides! I'm so proud! 🎉 Of course, I’m far from mastering the language, but I’ve clearly made progress. So grateful for this opportunity! 😃🙏 www.tijdschriftkarakter.be/immoreel-gez...

Definitively one of my favorite spot to write my next trade #book 📖😃 I can't wait to finalize it and to share the amazing stories of #genocide #rescuers I collected over the years ! Most difficult part is to select them 😭

History and experimental research have shown that resisting orders from authority is rare. In this new #fMRI paper in Imaging #Neuroscience, we studied the neural correlates of the brain's decision to #disobey. With L. Tricoche & A. Rovai @ghentccn.bsky.social direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

Today, I was asked by 2 lab members if we should exclude Afro hairstyles for EEG studies It should not be an exclusion criterion for #EEG studies in #neuroscience. I've tested >200 participants with great signal quality—this exclusion is unnecessary and limits inclusivity @sfnjournals.bsky.social

Thrilled to share our new review—a comparative analysis in neuroscience on how social influence (social presence, conformity, compliance, obedience) impacts decision-making and resistance mechanisms. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/os... With Leslie Tricoche @ghentccn.bsky.social #SocialNeuroscience

What neuro-cognitive mechanisms do military personnel, whose duty is to follow orders, use to resist orders they consider immoral? 🤔 🧪 👉 Read here our new preprint with fMRI: osf.io/preprints/os... Spoiler alert: we found differences between these two groups! 🚨

Trying my best to meet deadlines this week-end, but my cat 🐈‍⬛ has imprisoned my arm, reducing my typing speed by at least 4x. Apologies if I miss any! 😅 #catlovers #academia

Thrilled to share that my book, "Just Following Orders" is one of the books of the year! 🧪 It is incredibly rewarding to see a project I dedicated two years to writing (with research spanning much longer, of course!) being appreciated. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported this journey! 🙏
