  1. New #neuroforecasting research out in #PNASNexus : "Brain activity reveals how wildlife imagery evokes engagement on social media"!

    Partnering with #NationalGeographic, we found that group brain activity in the Medial PreFrontal Cortex (MPFC) forecast image popularity on their social media feed (as did subjects' "like" ratings).

    Further, correlated activity in #face processing (FFG) and #mentalizing (rTPJ) implied that socioemotional features might drive image popularity, verified by modeling the impact of these features on the popularity of out-of-sample images.

    Thus, beyond forecasting, brain activity helped to clarify which image features drive popularity. Congratulations to steadfast coauthors Tara Srirangarajan , Nik Sawe , Cynthia Wu , and Tierney Thys and deep thanks to the #Stanford Woods Institute for continued support.

    P.S. The news alert below illustrates our findings with the winning wildlife image, and links to the article:

  3. New #neuroforecasting #megaanalysis suggests that effective messages recruit #reward and #mentalizing circuits -- in individuals and at scale!
    Though there's much yet to learn, this collaboration (headed by Christin Scholz and Hang-Yee Chan, and guided by Emily Falk) offers encouraging support for the replicability of #neuroforecasting findings...

  5. Thanks and kudos to Nick Weiler for wrangling my enthusiastic ramblings into a coherent narrative that hopefully conveys my optimism about the past (first half) and future (second half) of #neuroforecasting (on #Stanford 's Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute award-winning podcast!):

  7. Now out in @[email protected] :
    "#Neuroforecasting reveals generalizable components of choice" (link below)!

    Led by the intrepid Alex Genevsky , we examined how deep brain activity (in the Nucleus Accumbens or #NAcc ) can forecast choices out of sample in much larger groups (e.g., in #crowdfunding and #videoviewing markets).

    We found that while behavioral forecasts depended on demographic match, neural forecasts (from the NAcc) did not, potentially supporting inferences from smaller samples. So, beyond considering #representativeness of a sample, researchers might also benefit from considering representativeness of different choice components.

    Thanks to the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute #Neurochoice Initiative for support, to the reviewers for constructive suggestions, and to #PNASNexus for a smooth publishing experience!

  12. _BRAIN$?_ is out!
    Where I comment that while #neuroeconomics researchers have met historical goals of using brain activity to predict and even forecast choice, the goalposts may have shifted (#neuroforecasting)...

  17. Reversing #climatechange will require everyone's ideas, input, and effort…
    so I feel excited and honored to join colleagues in contemplating how we can leverage #neuroscience to address #ClimateChange (at #NatureClimateChange).
    We consider both how climate influences brain function and how brain function (and associated choice) might influence climate (#neuroeconomics , #neuroforecasting , #sfn2023)…

  22. Very much looking forward to attending #SNE2024 (#Neuroeconomics) in Vancouver *in person* --- and also to discussing new findings related to #neuroforecasting changing demand for sustainable vehicles at the #ConsumerNeuroscience preconference tomorrow!
    Hope to see some of you there...
