🧠🎬 What can different views of brain activity tell us about how emotion unfolds? Across 14 films (~2.5h), we compared regional activity, pairwise connectivity & higher-order topology with 50 continuously rated affective features. Our preprint is out👇 shorturl.at/AfmGv

7/ Bonus point I forgot to include! 😅 Our results do not point to a single localized “core” of emotion. Instead, affective information is distributed across interacting cortical–subcortical systems — in line with recent work moving beyond strictly localized accounts of emotion.

The first paper from my PhD is out in @NatureNeuro! Aging and Alzheimer's disease both reshape how the brain communicates. But not in the same way: aging vs AD related alterations follow two distinct axes of brain organization Paper → nature.com/articles/s41593-0… 🧵⬇️

A new study by CETI Scientists analyzed thousands of hunting attempts and found that sperm whales flexibly switch prey-capture tactics within a single dive — adapting their approach in real time based on how their hunt unfolds. Read the pre-print here: bit.ly/45cW2Lz

1/9 How does a sperm whale hunt in darkness, hundreds of metres beneath the surface? Our new preprint reveals a two-level strategy: persistent search across whole dives, paired with rapid switching between distinct prey-capture tactics. Link in🧵
