Alyssa Guthrie had trouble finding a research opportunity her freshman year @DukeU because she lacked previous lab experience—until she discovered the CNRI program, designed to make #UndergraduateResearch more accessible.🎓#Duke2023 https://t.co/wh4yko381N @DukeBrain @DukeTrinity

Hey @DukeU @DukeBrain @DukePsychNeuro graduate students! We are now recruiting mentors for the Spring semester, especially more junior graduate students! Please email us if you’re interested in mentoring (paid!) undergraduate interns on your current research projects.

This work is now out in @NatureComms! https://t.co/pe0VdD0GjT https://t.co/mvt2skT4CM

So excited to have the opportunity to talk about the benefits of curiosity! Lovely article from BBC's David Robson. If you're interested in learning more about our preprint, check it out here: https://t.co/Gj53m3iY1o @DukeBrain @DukePsychNeuro

We are now accepting applications for the Fall 2022 cohort of the Cognitive Neuroscience Research Internship (CNRI) at Duke University! Follow the link to our application: https://t.co/ZVR0wslX8p. Applications open August 19th and must be submitted by September 3rd.

🚨Cool study alert!🚨 Work from awesome colleagues looking at curiosity as information unfolds

Come join our team in the Motivated Memory lab! We like dopamine, the hippocampus, and pie!

New preprint on emotion regulation from our lab! https://t.co/tU7XzqtdnL We found that the implicit assumption in the field that up- and down-regulation act on the same affect-generating brain regions is wrong.

🚨TWO NEW PAPERS OUT NOW🚨in @PNASNews and @NatureAging! We developed an intervention to change beliefs and intentions about risk-taking during the pandemic. Co-led with @shabnamhakimi, & Matthew Stanley, @rAlisonAdcock, @RobertoECabeza, @GregoryRSL. Thread 👇 (1/9)

Excited to share our latest work from the @rAlisonAdcock lab, linking anticipatory hippocampal state to midbrain activation and memory formation! https://t.co/DLpngqlCUo A summary of the piece is as follows:

Planning to submit a Psych/Neuro NSF GRFP application this Fall? We're running a pilot program to provide feedback on fellowship drafts before submission. Students from under-represented groups highly encouraged to apply. Interest form below! Pls RT! https://t.co/GlX3Fi4XPH

Reappraising COVID-19 threats had mental health benefits, but was associated with lower health-protective behaviours. BUT reappraisal to cultivate positive emotions had benefits without the costs: cool work by @Angela_Moriah @ecwillroth1 @BrettQFord et al.

Many of us assume COVID has been a mental health catastrophe, and the suffering it's produced is undeniable. But a new paper finds a surprising amount (85+%) of people retained good mental health or recovered quickly (blue, purple, and green curves). (Note: this is in the UK)

Excited to present new work at #SAS2021 today (5:30pm EDT) using drift-diffusion modeling (DDM) to examine how face masks influence judgments of emotional expressions—flash talk and abstract here:

Excited to be presenting at #SAS2021 tomorrow! If you’re interested in how appraisals and coping behaviors predict anxiety about the pandemic, stop by my flash talk “Psychosocial determinants of anxiety about COVID-19” at Wed 4/14 at 9:30am or 5:30pm EDT @affectScience
