How does a person's face influence the mental states others' think they will experience in various situations? That's the question we set out to answer in this now-complete Registered Report (my first!) @naturehumbehav.bsky.social, led by @chujunlin.bsky.social w/ Ralph Adolfs & Umit Keles.

New preprint on prejudice and state centralization: osf.io/preprints/ps... Our team of historians, psychologists, and anthropologists analyzed 90 historical societies and Chinese records from 206 BCE - 1911 CE In both studies, we find a link btw group prejudice and historical state centralization

Social rejection sucks, but they also provide a learning signal. Here we show that the two aspects of social rejection can be dissociated using computational modeling and neuroimaging. Delighted to have been able to be part of this work, definitely one of the most fun collaborations I've had!
