Our take on the recent buzzy story in the artworld. Conspicuous Consumption: The Art World Goes Bananas | Psychology Today psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/brai…

The New Romantics. As folks reflect on the year and their best of lists, this Psychology Today blog was my favorite piece of what I wrote. #sciart psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brain-…

In recognition of Editor-in-Chief Sergio Della Sall's innovative use of artwork for the journal Cortex , I wrote this piece about his use of imagery to evoke curiosity about neuroscience papers. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kSNC2VHYC4t1

Anjan Chatterjee Cortex “These carefully curated images engage readers in their own way and invite them to enter the journal. My favorites of Sergio’s choices are art that are ambiguous (Fig. 2D), that confuse and unsettle. Images that provoke more than illustrate.” Love this sentiment.

For those with the luxury of time (and interest) this is a lovely 1 hour conversation I had about the evolution of neuroaesthetics and where we in my center Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics are in our thinking. buzzsprout.com/2282727/episod…

It was so great to see Vasiliki Meletaki earlier this week, who was our speaker for the Applied Cognitive & Brain Sciences series @Drexel, and hear about her awesome work at Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics with Anjan Chatterjee ! 👏🙌

Pleased to announce that Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics manager, Bella Bobrow, and I will serve as art editors for the neuroscience journal Cortex - a brief blog post about the gig. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brain-…

"a glimmer of light in a dark tech world" Here's the podcast I did with the great Johannes Niederhauser. We're taking about the quasi-religious myths that have emerged from Big Tech, how they are re-shaping our world & what we can do about them. LINK: youtube.com/watch?v=ifzgX4…

A non-technical description of a peer-reviewed paper I posted about a few days ago. Surprising findings (to me). Lesson: deeply held intuitions sometimes do not survive scientific scrutiny. Kohinoor Darda (she/her) Vicente Estrada Gonzalez | Psychology Today psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brain-…

💥New article: Can art change how we see people with facial scars? 🧠🎨 We tested an intervention using painted portraits. No overall effects on warmth or competence, but some painted scars made faces seem more competent. Art might shift impressions — for some faces. Link 👇

I got an NCN OPUS grant! 🎉 For the next 4 years, I’ll be exploring moral conformity — why we sometimes follow others’ moral judgments. The plan? Experimental studies in the lab... and among the Hadza in Africa! 🌍🧠Narodowe Centrum Nauki Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics Anjan Chatterjee Śląskie Nauki Społeczne
