First 'official' lab picture 🥳
We are now definitively a big lab ! 🙃

Three more days for early-bird registration! Do not forget to sign up and join us in beautiful Ghent! #escan2024 ESCAN

We are offering a 4-year PhD student position!
Funded by an FWO research grant, this project will contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms through which individuals can resist immoral orders from an authority.

Great interactions at the poster session in Society for Social Neuroscience conference in Japan! @s4sn Happy to share the results of my first postdoc. Preprint available in osf.io/preprints/osf/…

We're pleased to welcome Pauline Atete as a new PhD student! Pauline will work at Ghent University and University of Rwanda, exploring how trauma alters neuro-cognitive functions and impacts the post-genocide generation.

What does it take for the brain to say 'No!' and resist an immoral order? We have investigated this question for the first time in an fMRI study.

The lab has reached a new critical milestone.
For the first time ever in neuroscience, we have found and tested genocide rescuers. This is a critical step to better understand the neural underpinnings of resistance to immoral orders.

The team is becoming huge! We also welcome Kalliopi Ioumpa as a postdoctoral researcher! 😃😃
She will focus on how different contextual parameters and individual differences influence (dis)obedience using behavioral and EEG methodologies.

We are very happy to welcome Eva Vives as a postdoctoral research thanks to a MarieSkłodowskaCurie!
Her project will explore the impact of mere presence of others on individuals’ moral preferences during conflictual moral dilemmas. Congrats!🥳

We are happy to welcome Nicolas Coucke as a postdoc!
He'll study collective decision-making using hyperscanning and neural decoding. His goal is to aid conflict resolution and mediation in complex social contexts, like post-genocide reconciliation and restorative justice.

We are recruiting a PhD student in (neuro)psychology in Rwanda for a joint PhD between UGent and University of Rwanda as part of the European Research Council (ERC) grant DISOBEY ! The PhD student will be co-supervised by Emilie Caspar and Prof. Vincent Sezibera, PhD.

We are happy to welcome Evelyne Fraats as a new PhD student in the lab starting from January! --> You can discover more about her project: moralsocialbrain.com/about/
Welcome in the lab 😀

We now have a page dedicated to research internships! Don't hesitate to explore the topics available in our lab, open for application to both national and international students --> moralsocialbrain.com/internships/
Assistance with grants like Erasmus+ is provided

We are happy to welcome Dr. Lola Seyll as a postdoctoral researcher in the lab! Lola will mostly work in Rwanda, on the question of obedience but also on the impact of a trauma: Find out more >> moralsocialbrain.com/about/

Novel award in the lab delivered to Emilie Caspar !
This Early Career Award was delivered to two creative and promising investigators in the field of social neuroscience! Society for Social Neuroscience
It helps us to position our young lab in this field of research :)

Our study on the intergroup prosociality bias between former genocide perpetrators, survivors and their children is out in #JEPGeneral 🥳 : psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2024-…
We show the long-lasting biases towards two groups, spanning across generations.

One of our PhD student Joanna M. B. created her own blog with very interesting science-related content! See her post :)

New paper out with guillaume pech! Have you heard about the 'enclothed cognition framework' and how wearing specific uniforms influence our behaviors and cognition ?
