Join our session at @affectScience to learn about MedelOpt . This new Brain-Body Platform synchronizes high-density fNIRS, EEG & physiological data in a single unified environment. See BIOPAC at #SAS2026 or request a demo! biopac.com/events/sas-2026/ #AffectiveScience #Neuroscience

We are excited to announce our partnership with @InclivioEMA's software for #SAS2026. We’re counting down to the conference with a series of posts. Enter a drawing for 3 EMA study licenses by liking (1 point) and reposting (3 points)! #SAS #AffectiveScience #EMA #EmotionDynamics

🧠 Can your brain feel something your body doesn't? Check Here First: medium.com/@harryblackwood/a… New research teases apart how we feel from what our body does—hint: it’s not all about heart rate or sweating. 🧩 Start with this brain–body quiz and explore the science behind emotional arousal in our latest blog. 🔬 Powered by @AIpubmed #Neuroscience #Emotion #fMRI #AffectiveScience #MentalHealth

Hope everyone's having a great time at #acl2025nlp as we transition to the fun workshops and discussion days. Come say hi! if you want to chat about #AffectiveScience, #Emotions, #Datasets, #Anxiety, #WarmthAndCompetence, #MWEs, #Embodiment, #ScienceOfScience, or related topics.

This paper argues: • Emotional pain, not logic, is the foundation of identity for many • Political beliefs often function as nervous system regulation strategies • Healing polarization requires addressing early emotional conditioning, not just facts or policy It draws on research from: • Attachment theory (Bowlby, Fonagy) • Political psychology (Westen, Haidt) • Affective neuroscience (Panksepp, Damasio) • Developmental trauma (Schore, van der Kolk) I welcome feedback from those in psychology, neuroscience, and political behavior.

If you’re a clinician, researcher, theorist, or simply emotionally invested in where politics is going, let’s talk. 📎 Full paper: docs.google.com/document/d/1… #WoundTheory #PoliticalPsychology #AttachmentTheory #AffectiveScience

🌀 Have you heard of the “anhedonia paradox” in schizophrenia? It refers to the puzzling phenomenon where individuals report a normal capacity to feel pleasure—yet show reduced motivation to pursue pleasurable activities. New research points to the concept of “positivity offset” as a possible explanation: in low-arousal, neutral contexts, patients with schizophrenia are more likely to experience negative rather than positive affect. This subtle shift in baseline emotional tone may contribute to reduced reward-seeking behavior and diminished motivation. 🔗 Read the original study here: doi.org/10.1016/j.schres.202… #Schizophrenia #AnhedoniaParadox #AffectiveScience #Motivation

Happy ACLing everyone! I am here in Bangkok and looking forward to talking about #NLPresearch and #AffectiveScience with old and new friends. Especially happy to chat with grad students and early researchers. Just reach out. #acl2024nlp

Hi, guys! I'm presenting my master's thesis at #OHBM2024! Come find poster #754 during the poster session on June 24-25 :) #affectivescience

Delighted that this work--led by the brilliant @emreselcuk and @gulgunaydin--has been published in JPSP. Findings from preregistered analyses of four dyadic longitudinal studies reveal that affective reactivity to partners’ daily stressors enhances relationship quality in new (but not established) couples. This research introduces a new interpersonal framework for affectivity reactive research and suggests an early-stage marker of relationship quality #affectivescience #relationshipscience awspntest.apa.org/buy/2024-9…

To my colleagues in #affectivescience and psychology in general, the silence around #LongCovid has been deafening. Please remember us on #LongCovidAwarenessDay #LongCovidAwarenessDay2024 psychologytoday.com/za/blog/…

Had many insights from the #AffectScience2024 in the vibrant city of NOLA! 🌟 It's been truly inspiring to witness diverse perspectives shaping the landscape of #AffectiveScience. 1/2

When we try to understand others' emotions, how accurate are we? Do we over- or underestimate their intensity? Our 5 studies with texts, videos, & live interactions show we lean towards overestimation. Learn more about our findings at #SAS2024, Mar 2, 4:45 PM. #AffectiveScience
