Most AI safety conversations focus on the technology. But I've seen what happens when technology isn't enough. People overtrust systems. People get manipulated. That's why I believe human behavior is one of the missing pieces of AI safety #AISafety #BehavioralScience tomomitanaka.substack.com/p/…

How the Unconscious Blocks Distressing Language. Your conscious intuition says you can’t ignore a negative comment—but your nonconscious mind says otherwise. A new study in Psychological Science reveals that when we are focused on a task, our brains actively filter out and suppress negative spoken words before they ever reach conscious awareness. Rather than letting threatening language hijack our attention, the brain acts as an automated "cognitive gatekeeper," shielding our limited mental resources from costly, distressing distractions. Interestingly, researchers hypothesize this protective filter might break down in clinical populations dealing with anxiety or PTSD. neurosciencenews.com/unconsc… psychologicalscience.org/ #Psychology #Neuroscience #CognitiveScience #BrainResearch #Consciousness #MentalHealth #BehavioralScience

Disappointment may be a hidden driver of behavioral change. Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have identified a key role for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in helping the brain abandon outdated behaviors and adapt to new circumstances. The findings suggest that when an expected reward fails to appear, the brain may activate biological mechanisms that increase flexibility rather than simply signaling failure. Key signals: • Researchers observed significant acetylcholine release when an expected reward did not appear • Mice were more likely to change their behavior following disappointment, a response linked to acetylcholine surges • Real-time neurotransmitter activity was tracked using advanced two-photon microscopy • Reducing the animals' ability to produce acetylcholine confirmed its direct role in behavioral adaptation Why this matters: Breaking harmful habits remains one of the most complex challenges in neuroscience. Understanding how the brain enables behavioral flexibility could help researchers develop more effective therapies for conditions where rigid behavior patterns become harmful, including addiction, OCD, and Parkinson's disease. What's changing: From viewing disappointment as a negative outcome → to understanding disappointment as a biological trigger for adaptation Much of neuroscience has focused on how rewards reinforce behavior. This research highlights a complementary mechanism: how unexpected setbacks may help the brain let go of behaviors that no longer work. Could the brain's response to disappointment become a future target for therapies designed to improve behavioral flexibility? #Neuroscience #BrainScience #Neurotechnology #BehavioralScience #MentalHealth #AddictionResearch #OCDResearch #ParkinsonsDisease #HealthcareInnovation #InnoDexis

Behavior can be engineered. From sales tactics to stage hypnotism, understanding conditions reveals how actions are influenced. It's about the triggers, not just the people. #Psychology #BehavioralScience

#FridayGratitude: Understanding Consumers Starts with Understanding Choice A recent @Nature piece on Feynman’s “restaurant dilemma” made me think deeply about consumers. The question sounds simple: When should we try something new, and when should we return to what we already know works? But this is also a #FoodSystems question. Consumers are not just choosing foods based on nutrition information. They are balancing familiarity, risk, taste, cost, convenience, trust, time, and previous experience. That matters. If we want people to consume healthier diets, biofortified crops, or other health-enhancing foods, we cannot only ask: “What should people eat?” We also need to ask: “How do people decide?” “What makes a new food worth trying?” “When does trust become stronger than novelty?” “What makes repeat consumption more likely?” For me, this is why #ConsumerResearch matters. It helps us move from assuming demand to understanding it. And in nutrition, that difference can determine whether an innovation is simply available, or actually chosen, consumed, and valued.
