We are glad to welcome @VabbaAlisha who has received a 3-year postdoc grant from @ugent in @MoralSocialLab She'll combine VR with EEG to investigate what happens in the brain when prison guards witness violent misconduct by colleagues and must decide whether to intervene or not

I'm very happy to share that I have been awarded a #MSCA Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship. I will join the Moral & Social Brain Lab led by Prof. Caspar @ugent to study how the Sense of Agency is impacted by external threats and by self-defense @CasparEmilie @MoralSocialLab

New #fMRI paper in the lab!

Emilie Caspar@CasparEmilie

History and experimental research have shown that resisting orders from authority is rare. In this new #fMRI paper in @ImagingNeurosci, we studied the neural correlates of the brain's decision to disobey. @LeslieTricoche @MoralSocialLab @GhentCCN Link: direct.mit.edu/imag/article/d…

What neuro-cognitive mechanisms do military personnel, whose duty is to follow orders, use to resist orders they consider immoral? 🤔 @LeslieTricoche @HUFAPEPS @MoralSocialLab 📷 Read here our new preprint with fMRI: osf.io/preprints/osf/… Spoiler alert: we found differences !

What an incredible evening yesterday! I’m honored to have received this trophy 👩‍🔬 from "Matière Grise" for my work in scientific vulgarization. Breaking walls between scientists and the general public is more important than ever! #Science #Vulgarization @ParisMatch @RTBF

Thank you for the opportunity to present this important topic. We still have so much to learn from genocide rescuers and their resistance to hateful propaganda. Sadly, this remains very timely...

"During genocides or #wars, the problem is that #morality is blurred," said @CasparEmilie from @ugent, in a recent episode of Anatomy of Disinformation. Watch it here ➡️ youtu.be/V1ee-KJo3Og
