Pre-#ESCAN2022 symposium, in Honour of Christoph Eisenegger  Chris joined our faculty in 2012 then later established his own lab with funding from @WWTF. In 2017, tragically, he passed away. His research goes on, though, and here we gather and celebrate it. (1/n)

Our paper is now out on J. Neuro jneurosci.org/content/42/32/… @DecisionPark Annabel Losecaat Vermeer Felix Molter

‼️‼️Finally out in Nature Communications: grid-like codes 🕸 in the human entorhinal cortex 🧠 when observing others🚶🏽‍♀️➡️ nature.com/articles/s4146… Big thanks to Matthias Stangl David Omer Claus Lamm Luise Graichen Boryana Todorova SCAN-Unit 👏👏👏

Humans tend to be nicer towards others when being watched. A new study in @NPP_Journal, led by Hana Kutlikova & Lei Zhang | 张磊 (@lei-zhang.bsky.social), reveals that testosterone administration fully eliminates such strategic prosociality doi.org/10.1038/s41386… (1/3)

Blocking D2 dopamine receptors increases the volatility of beliefs about other people. nature.com/articles/s4146… Work the late Chris Eisenegger (<3), and Michael Neaf started and Claus Lamm , Chris Mathys, friend of abundance and I finished (w Trevor Robbins, Luke Clark and Ulrich Müller).

Today we (led by Patricia Lockwood) kick off the Birmingham-Leiden Computational Social Cognition Summer School The Centre for Human Brain Health / School of Psychology, University of Birmingham. 70+ students from across the globe will learn how and why to use Computational modelling in Psychological and Neuroscience research.

Exciting to have such a diverse set of attendees, who were selected from amongst nearly 200 applicants and we were able to do this thanks to Uni of Birmingham Global Engagement Fund. compsoccog.com

Another fantastic School of Psychology, University of Birmingham & Leiden Psychology CSC summer school project.
