We got published in Science Advances!
While I’d love to claim full credit and bask in the glory, I suppose I should also thank my colleagues and boss for doing their part. They are truly the best @AAvenanti @giorgioarcara @VincenzoRomei @FioriFr

Just returned from a wonderful symposium in honor of Beatrice De Gelder held in Turin, organized by Marco Tamietto. It was fantastic to exchange ideas with amazing colleagues and to celebrate Bea's inspiring work. Thank you, Marco, for putting together such a fantastic event! – at Turin, Piedmont

Huge congratulations, @antonio_cataneo! 🎉👏 Your dedication and hard work have led you to this incredible achievement. It’s been a pleasure supervising you, and I’m glad to see you reach this milestone. Wishing you all the best for what’s next! 🚀🎓 Daje! 🔥
On March 17, I successfully defended my PhD thesis.
I am completely grateful to all the people who helped and supported me along this journey. I especially thank my supervisor, @AAvenanti from whom I learned so much, for giving me the opportunity to reach this goal.
🚀 Just back from the #MNESYS annual meeting in #Genoa! 🧠✨This groundbreaking project advances #neuroscience toward precision, personalized, and predictive medicine.
Proud to coordinate WP3 of Spoke 4—in 2 years, 120+ papers in indexed journals! 📚🔥 A spectacular achievement!

Couldn't have asked for a better team! 🌈 @StellaPetkovic @CSpaccasassi
@RachelePezz @giorgioarcara @AAvenanti
If you’re curious about how we explore the temporal dynamics of implicit moral evaluation, check out our paper here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 📄✨✨✨
Happy to be part of this great team! 🎉 Huge congrats to @kamela_cenka ! Check out our paper: Temporal Dynamics of Implicit Moral Evaluation: From Empathy for Pain to Mentalizing Processes. 📄✨ Link: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
🧠 How does the brain evaluate harm and intent in real-time? Using data-driven EEG analysis, we explored the temporal dynamics of implicit moral evaluation
Grateful to @kamela, @CSpaccasassi, @StellaPetkovic, and @giorgioarcara

#4 - 🤔 Later response (~400ms) differentiates between intentional vs accidental harm, engaging mentalizing networks (TPJ). This reveals how our brains first process "what happened" before evaluating "why it happened".
#5 - 📊 Large sample (N=66) + data-driven approach revealed new insights into moral cognition! Experience-sharing and mentalizing processes aren't strictly sequential—they show partial temporal overlap, highlighting the complexity of social evaluation. #Brain #MoralCognition
