🎬 “Scar = evil” still true?
We analyzed Hollywood & Bollywood.
Heroes: smaller scars in different areas.
Villains: larger, more prominent.
Cinema keeps reinforcing the anomalous-is-bad stereotype. @Anjan435 @PCfN__ Open access👉

💥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 👇

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. @kohinoordarda @vstradag | Psychology Today psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…

"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.

Are #nature imagery and other kinds of art helpful in #health-care environments? Cardillo and my review of what is likely to be helpful, in what context, and how we can move forward to better ground the role of #art in #health.mdpi.com/2075-5309/15/7/1027
Apparently, the link below doesn't work. Hopefully, this one does.

When cherished intuitions are not confirmed. Not a lot of difference in the impact of art seen in museums versus on a screen in the lab. Reasons to actually test intuitions. With

It was so great to see @V_Meletaki earlier this week, who was our speaker for the Applied Cognitive & Brain Sciences series @Drexel, and hear about her awesome work at @PCfN__ with @Anjan435 ! 👏🙌
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 @PCfN__ are in our thinking. buzzsprout.com/2282727/episo…

“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.
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/1kSNC…
