Very happy to see our manuscript on neural correlates of theory of mind reasoning in blind children out in Dev Cog Neurosci (with Marina Bedny 🇺🇦 and Rebecca Saxe). sciencedirect.com/science/articl… (1/n)

New paper on a project we started more than a decade ago. How does being born blind affect development of understanding others sight? And the brain regions that relate to this cognition?

Excited to announce a new tenure-track faculty search, joint with Psychology and the Kempner Institute for Natural and Artificial Intelligence, at Harvard University. Come join and shape our growing interdisciplinary community! #NeuroAI #CognitiveAI academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/12674

Excited to share an open dataset of 321 3-12yo children who completed our ToM booklet task, as well as all task materials + guides for administration & coding. Preprint: psyarxiv.com/gczp9 OSF: osf.io/g5zpv/ W/ Koraima, Hyowon (Hyo) Gweon, Rebecca Saxe

We are sharing an open dataset of >300 children, 3–12-years-old, including 64 (neurotypical) children assessed longitudinally and 68 autistic children, each answering >40 ToM questions ranging in difficulty. 10 years of Hilary Richardson @hilaryrichardson.bsky.social's and Saxelab's data! Please re-use.

I’m very excited for this fabulous meeting at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) focused on open science in neuroscience Oct 10-12: odin.mit.edu Very honored to give the keynote on how we used *only* open data to build new algorithms and insights (🦓CEBRA), and give a glimpse into the future 🫶

We are delighted to announce the newest season of "Mi Ultima Neurona," a Spanish-language neuroscience podcast in which KanwisherLab postbac, Jessica Chomik-Morales, brings conversations with neuroscientists to Spanish speakers around the world. mcgovern.mit.edu/2023/09/18/new…

Why do we remember some songs and forget others? Come to the MIT Museum on Tues Sept 26 from 3:30-4:45 to find out with MIT grad student Bryan Medina. Bryan studies how and why we remember certain sounds in Josh McDermott's lab McGovern Institute. Cambridge Science Carnival mitmuseum.mit.edu/programs/decod…

We are happy to share our new commentary on why using language inclusively for transgender people is perfectly appropriate biologically, socially, and scientifically. Here is a 🧵 on this new commentary by @AndyPerfors, Celeste Kidd, and myself. nature.com/articles/s4156…

TODAY'S THE DAY. Open data prize at MIT celebration at Hayden Library at 3pm. Come hear from the winners about their inspiring projects!

Why do people take turns exerting effort to benefit one another? In new work with Rebecca Saxe at #CogSci2024 CogSci Society, we show that, in a cognitive model, the value of communicating equality can specifically give rise to reciprocal generosity 📄escholarship.org/uc/item/5d20f0…

Have you ever wondered what’s going on in a baby’s brain when she looks at you? I have! So, Rebecca Saxe and I set out to investigate.
