We are proud of the IMT School for promoting this initiative in such difficult times: 10 research project grants for foreign scholars at risk. imtlucca.it/en/the-imt-sch…

Beyond elated to share that our work "Dissecting abstract, modality-specific and experience-dependent coding of affect in the human brain" is out in @ScienceAdvances 🎉science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Amazing lead author @GiadaLettieri2 and great collaborators @MoMiLab_IMT @ManibusLab. 🧵

The WasON survey is still open! How good you are at associating cognitive processes and fMRI activation? 👇 sane-elab.eu/NRIA/welcome.p… please RT @SIPFNC @AIPsperimentale @FENSorg @OHBM @SfNtweets @IBROorg @S4SNeuro @Neuroscience365 @NeuroscienceNew @cecchetti_luca @handjaras

So proud!⚡️Our work on emotion transitions have been selected for the flash talk at 2023 SAS annual conference #AffectScience2023 @cecchetti_luca @handjaras @GiadaLettieri2 Incredibly honoured to present at the @affectScience in Long Beach, California!🌴☀️

NEW preprint psyarxiv.com/wa2xf! We explored sex differences in published literature and their relationship with societal progress. We also investigated the emotional content of books by male and female authors. @cecchetti_luca @handjaras @ErikaBucci4 @Pietro_Pietrini 🧵:

After the inspiring @Nature paper by @smarek0502, @tervoclemmensb, @ndosenbach, @DrDamienFair, @ten_photos, @bttyeo, @handjaras and I have analyzed simulated and HCP data. We argue that reproducible BWAS do not necessarily require 1000s of individuals: psyarxiv.com/c8xwe a🧵

Great talk! @GiadaLettieri2

Tomorrow opens virtual @OHBM 2022! Check out our poster #784: "The representation of affect in vmPFC and pSTG is independent from sensory modality and experience". Oral presentation is also coming soon :) @cecchetti_luca @handjaras

In the attempt to add some context to the extremely interesting results of the BWAS @nature paper, my friend @handjaras and I have simulated data based on Figure 1 of Marek, Tervo-Clemmens et al. MATLAB/Octave code available at: osf.io/2szkv/

🎉New paper out in SCAN! 🎉 tinyurl.com/76t97z7j "Default and control network connectivity dynamics track the stream of affect at multiple timescales" with @GiadaLettieri2 @handjaras @Elisa10434431 @francesca_7i @valentinabruno_ @Ricciardi_Emi and @Pietro_Pietrini a 🧵 1/6

Happy to share our latest preprint on the contribution of shape features and demographic variables to disembedding abilities psyarxiv.com/jmxvb/! @OSFramework @cecchetti_luca @GiadaLettieri2 @handjaras @Ricciardi_Emi

Honored that our work on language and affect has been selected as a highly-ranked abstract #SAS2021. Presentation tomorrow at 8:45 and 15:30 CEST @affectScience! You can find me as the cool snowman 😀. Video is here osf.io/meetings/SAS20…! @cecchetti_luca @Pietro_Pietrini

I am honoured to have been awarded with a #MSCA IF. I truly cannot wait to work with @CollignonOlivi1 @UCLouvain_be on emotions in sensory deprived individuals. With gratitude for @IMTLucca @cecchetti_luca @Pietro_Pietrini for the support and guidance. Looking forward to start!

Our latest work is online biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. With @GiadaLettieri2, @handjaras, @Ricciardi_Emi and @Pietro_Pietrini. We used intersubject functional correlation during movie watching and ratings of the emotional experience to relate changes in affect to brain connectivity.
