🧵10/10 Our work pioneers a computational framework in dynamic social neuroscience–parametrizing social signals to unravel how our brains perceive and interpret the complex, ever changing social world.

🧵9/10 Take-home: In individual participants, we reveal where, when and how the third social pathway selectively represents, communicates and computes dynamic facial components for emotion categorization–offering a mechanistic insight into social perception

Looking forward to this exciting collaboration! Many thanks to Profs @rachaelejack and Shuguang Kuai for their leadership in this joint centre!

@DrGabyCruz @GregorThut @PalvaLab Congratulations Gaby!! Great work!

Happy that our paper with @GregorThut and @PalvaLab is out! Using simultaneous MEG/EEG, we reveal diverse posterior alpha band oscillations - each associated with unique facets of visual attention! jneurosci.org/content/early/…

[🔔JOB ALERT!! 🔔] We are looking for a motivated PhD student based in the UK to join our lab in Glasgow to study the unconscious effects of physical beauty in human social interactions.

#VSS2024 Featuring the newest research from @UofGPsychNeuro and pals. Come check it out! 👇See you at Demo BBQ night on the beach 🏖️🌞🍹

Super excited to present our new experimental platform DuckSoup at #AffectScience2024 (this Sunday, 3/3/2024, from 9:30:00 AM ) during my talk “CAUSAL SOCIAL INTERACTION RESEARCH WITH FACE TRANSFORMATION FILTERS” 🥳🥳

So excited to present our @facesyntax work "In the face of diversity: face ethnicity influences the use of face features for social trait perception" at #AffectScience2024 (P2.L.180, 2 March, 3.05pm) w/ @LBHensel @drrobinince Oliver Garrod @SchynsPhilippe @rachaelejack 🥳 1/1👇

By characterizing the specific information contents that the brain predicts and then processes, our findings provide new insights into the brain’s mechanisms of prediction-for-perception.

B/ They are more specifically driven by the auditory cues, and their reactivation strength before a stimulus presentation exerts a greater bias on how the individual participant later categorizes this stimulus.

New paper out in Current Biology from @SchynsPhilippe lab @CCNi_UofG @UofGPsychNeuro: Strength of predicted information content in the brain biases decision behavior (doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…), with @JiayuZhan, Oliver Garrod , Xuan Cui, @drrobinince
