What roles do #brain regions play in disruption of action control by #Pavlovian biases? @johalgermissen.bsky.social @efouragnan.bsky.social &co show that anterior #insula stimulation reduces learning bias, while #dACC stimulation increases perseveration bias @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4tfY8nu
We replicated the self-bias and effects of social basis function use across four experiments. These effects also tracked meaningful social-cognitive computations, with social basis function use increasing as the percentage of group decisions increases.
In a new preprint w/ @tianqizhan.bsky.social & @smfleming.bsky.social, we developed a new measure of metacognitive bias (over/under confidence in individual decisions)!

These findings refine the conceptualisation of social-cognitive processes across autistic traits while highlighting the importance of large samples for validating null effects.
We used the well-established social group paradigm (www.nature.com/articles/s41...), developed by @mkwittmann.bsky.social, to distil precisely controlled measures of self-bias and social basis function use as two indices of self-other integration.
