Published in Molecular Autism. This work examined how autistic adults process social touch at the brain network level. The connectivity strength is linked to a greater preference for social touch and social responsiveness—suggesting neural compensatory mechanisms. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This paper sets up a bit of a straw man in that I don't think most people who use movies and stories as fMRI stimuli assume that all movies will (or should) evoke the same response. In a naturalistic neuroimaging expt, the movie is the task...

Very excited by our first benchmarking results on BMD by the talented @sargechris.bsky.social! By including control models trained on Kinetics that deal trivially with time (i.e. treating videos as image sequences), we find better brain alignment scores for actual video models in early visual areas!

Now published in Annual Review of Developmental Psychology. This is a review of what we know, and what we don't yet know. In it, I argue that the origins of our self-awareness must lie in interoception, and offer some thoughts on how social interactions might provide a mechanistic link in infancy.

For the ESM study on mental health, what would be the best short questionnaire to administer multiple times a day? I usually use the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 to measure anxiety and depression in standard lab-based studies, but I'm unsure if there are better tools for ESM.

Naturalistic neuroscience is growing. Work from Jane Han, @samnastase.bsky.social et al., Sociality and transitivity capture unique variance in AON. "Behavioral judgments of similarity better reflect neural representational geometry than semantic or visual models". www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Currently reading Desperate Remedies by Andrew Scull, which I would highly recommend. I sort of knew that there was a graveyard of failed psychiatric treatments that had been hailed as miracle cures by their proponents, but I had no idea how widely that graveyard extended.

Naturalistic encoding of concepts in the brain @viktorkewenig.bsky.social shows that, while concepts generally encode habitual experiences, the underlying neurobiological organisation is not fixed but depends dynamically on available contextual information. 👏🍾🐐 elifesciences.org/articles/91522

The consequences of this burnout are also showing up beyond teaching and service in other essential parts of the system like a rapidly deteriorating peer review system and increasing reluctance to make multi-year commitments to admit+advise graduate students.

New paper story time (now out in PNAS)! We developed a method that caused people to learn new categories of visual objects, not by teaching them what the categories were, but by changing how their brains worked when they looked at individual objects in those categories. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I am planning to apply for the MRC New Investigator grant in the neuroscience and mental health section. This is my first time applying for a UKRI grant, as I am new to the UK. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could share examples of successful applications. Please send me a DM. Thank you!
