Such a tremendous loss. Frans de Waal showed us that animals are individuals, with their own personalities and interests, who live in society with their own rules, and he did it at a time when many scientists and philosophers were still debating about whether chimpanzees are...

Our new paper outlines how neuroscience can be used to: (1) study the impact of climate change on the brain (2) identify ways to adapt (3) study the neural substrates of environmental decisions & outcomes (4) create better communication & interventions https://t.co/UKZgWkkQ4K

Today’s talk at @EWB_Hub was a dream come true! Sharing insights on predicting and responding to pain in others alongside researchers I’ve admired for years was truly special. Grateful for the opportunity! ✨
Today at the Ethics and Wellbeing hub, Dr Maria (@MariaSunol92) gave a very interesting and informative talk about predicting and response to pain in humans and animals. Thanks Maria.

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” In our new paper, we find that people judge the exact same action very different if they are judging it through a moral, pragmatic or hedonic lens. So be careful which lens you use! https://t.co/It1cnGnHsm

Very impressive! A huge meta-analysis of personality and prosocial behaviour: "770 studies reporting on 3,523 effects of 8 broad and 43 narrow personality traits on prosocial behavior in…economic games…correlations ranged between -.18 ≤ ρ ≤ .26" 👏👏👏 https://t.co/7XRZZPeXw8

Children often have stronger moral concerns about eating animals than adults, who generally find it acceptable to farm animals for food. New research suggests this shift in moral attitudes towards eating farmed animals takes off and peaks during adolescence. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

New paper alert 🚨 In this study we investigated the brain processes supporting clinician empathy and how it affects pain, using fMRI hyperscanning 🧠🧠 https://t.co/zwubZNFojV

The latest version of FSLeyes https://t.co/Wk5XmBqUPi makes it easier to view effect sizes modulated by statistical significance, as recommended by @afni_pt &co in https://t.co/cAKzdB5IAw Here's a step-by-step illustrated guide to do this with your data.

Most neuroimaging studies display results that represent only a tiny fraction of the collected data. While it is conventional to present "only the significant results" to the reader, here we suggest...
Q1. How does data presentation affect how we understand neuroimaging results? Visualization matters for interpretation and comparison *from the start*. Discussed more here: https://t.co/MH8kcYaBXU

Exciting update from our lab: Our latest preprint delves into the brain representations of affective intensity and valence across pain and pleasure.
biorxiv.org
Pleasure and pain are two opposites that compete and influence each other, implying the existence of brain systems that integrate them to generate modality-general affective experiences. Here, we...
Excited to share our work on the brain representations of affective valence and intensity in sustained pleasure and pain! Now available in Biorxiv:
