#SANS2024 Mid-career award winner Luke Chang's talk: 'Toward a computational social and affective science'

Congratulations to Luke Chang (Luke Chang) of Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences for winning the first ever SANS Mid-Career Award! Join us at #SANS2024 for his talk 'Towards a computational social and affective science' socialaffectiveneuro.org/awards/

🚨New paper alert🚨In this Perspective, we propose a holistic approach to studying social emotions, which emphasizes the integration of the adaptive goals of a social emotion, formal modelling of its underlying cognitive operations, and measures of its biological implementation.

New paper from Beau Sievers & me, now out in SCAN! 'Deep social neuroscience: The promise and peril of using artificial neural networks to study the social brain' Open access link🔓: doi.org/10.1093/scan/n…

New paper demonstrating the hidden cost of receiving favors led by Xiaoxue Gao with Eshin Jolly, Hongbo Yu, Huiying Liu, & Xiaolin Zhou. Indebtedness motivates reciprocity by minimizing feelings of guilt and obligation. bit.ly/41Pm7O2

New paper from Thalia Wheatley, me, Arjen Stolk & Luke Chang at Perspectives on Psychological Science!

'The Emerging Science of Interacting Minds'

Read about why we think that this is a particularly auspicious moment for interaction science!

Pymer4 0.8.1 now has support for arm-based macs (m1, m2, etc) and Python versions up to 3.11! Sorry for the delay on this folks 😅 eshinjolly.com/pymer4/new.html

Great insights from Professors Luke Chang, Jeremy Manning, Matt van der Meer, and Mark Thornton on their innovative Methods in Neuroscience at Dartmouth (MIND) program at Dartmouth 🌲. bit.ly/3PiiFpm

MIND is in the news today! 📰🗞️ home.dartmouth.edu/news/2023/08/v…

That's it for MIND '23! Thanks to this awesome group of scholars for coming to Methods in Neuroscience at Dartmouth (MIND) at Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences to learn & share methods for studying Interacting Minds! And for those who couldn't come, stay tuned: we will be releasing the tutorials from this year in a Jupyter book!

New from SCRAP Lab: the results of our summer '23 hackathon! This year we took on the challenge of finding new ways to visualize and sonify conversation data such as turn-taking, head direction, and the acoustic and semantic features of words: youtu.be/SPInp5tCzLM

Thrilled to finally share a preprint of some of the work I recently presented at SANS and discussed previously in my Innovators in Cognitive Neuroscience (@jeremyRmanning was so excited he beat me to the punch!) psyarxiv.com/bw9r2

🧵A lot of current AI is obsessed with recognizing emotions from facial expressions — but that’s not how humans do it.

Humans make systematic, nuanced predictions of emotions people *will* experience, without ever seeing a face.

📢Postdoc alert!!📢

I'm looking for a postdoc to begin this summer or fall Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences . My lab studies how people talk about race in important relationships like friendships and mentor-mentee relationships. Come join me! Info below. Email application to [email protected]

Check out this interview with Eshin Jolly and wasita who talk about how they use Svelte in their research to study social interactions Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences on the svelteradio podcast share.transistor.fm/s/54d6a548

We are excited to announce that we will be having our 4th annual Methods in Neuroscience at Dartmouth Summer School from 8/6-8/16/23 exploring how minds interact. Application deadline is 5/31/2023. mindsummerschool.org

Congratulations to Emma Templeton co-advised by Thalia Wheatley for successfully defending her dissertation at Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences, 'What makes conversation good? How responsivity, topics, and insider language predict feelings of connection'
