I'm delighted to announce that I'll be joining @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social Psychology as an assistant professor in Fall 2026 🐻💙🐻💛 Deep thanks to my students and colleagues at NUS for four formative years, and to the advisors, family, and friends who've supported me throughout.

I did a thing. spsp.org/news/charact... @spspnews.bsky.social

Excited to welcome three new members to the lab: postdoc Kirstan Brodie (@kirstanbrodie.bsky.social) and graduate students Morgan Peace (@morganpeace.bsky.social) and Finneaz Moner (@finneazmoner.bsky.social)! You can learn more about them here: www.svmlab.org/people

That’s a wrap! #spsp2026

Thanks for having me! #spsp2026 Advances in Cultural Psychology Preconference

Honored to be one of the finalists! My project for this award focuses on emotion overgeneralization in trustworthiness judgments, examining cross-cultural patterns in social perception. 🌏

Postdoc position! Myself and @jordanaxt.bsky.social are seeking applications for a shared post-doctoral researcher at McGill, beginning Fall 2026. Topic area broadly centered on intergroup dynamics, prejudice, discrimination Full description here: hehmanlab.org/ad 1/2

Come and join us this Wednesday for the official launch of the centre!

The Straits Times did a nice piece on our centre (@cssh-nus.bsky.social), which will be officially launched this coming Wednesday, with @mmvty.bsky.social as our keynote speaker. Looking forward! www.straitstimes.com/singapore/pa...

Last day!

Today (Saturday, Feb 28) 2pm in E271 #spsp2026

Super excited to chair my first symposium with @dongwonoh.bsky.social at @spspnews.bsky.social this Saturday (2pm-3:10pm, E271)! We have talks from Abhinanda Dash, Ming Huang Teo, Bastian Weitz, and me. If you are in the Windy City and curious about social hierarchies, join us! #SPSP2026 🌬️ 🌬️ 🌬️

Thanks to everyone who helped make the culture pre-conference a “successful failure!” We didn’t make the main pre-conference time, but we had a packed house and a great time. #SPSP2026

*Correction: DongWon’s cultural psych preconfeference talk is on Wednesday, Feb 25 (not Tues, Feb 24)!

Hello Chicago! Oh Lab @ohlab.bsky.social at #SPSP2026 hailing from Singapore--8 presentations and 7 speakers across posters, talks, and a symposium. Come say hi! 👋

Now in press at SPPS. Ruled out perceiver effects, stereotypical trait structure, assumed similarity; tested generalizability; and added longitudinal data. Kudos to coauthors @finneazmoner.bsky.social, Natasha Tan, and others. First paper as PI! Latest preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

My new research found when trying to distinguish real faces from AI-generated ones, people with average face-recognition ability performed at chance, and while super-recognisers performed better than other participants, it was only by a slim margin. Read more 🔗 www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/new...

Big congratulations to Yuqing Shi @syuqing.bsky.social, a PhD student of mine, on receiving the Besample Dissertation Grant! Really exciting work on cross-cultural face perception. Can’t wait to see where this goes. besample.app/dissertation...

Thank you for the birthday wishes, everyone. Confucius said 40 is when all doubts fade. I still have plenty, but I trust myself enough to keep going anyway (:

My colleague Falk Lieder and I are hiring a new post-doc at UCLA to join the #WiseJudgementConsortium. The ad is here: recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF10650

I will be recruiting 🌟PhD students🌟 for my newish lab! If you're interested in learning & memory mechanisms applied to individual, interactive & collective behavior using computational modeling, real-world experiments and fMRI, email me! RTs much appreciated 🙏 rouhanilab.com

📊 Key finding: Participants over-attributed AI generation, labeling nearly 60% of all images as synthetic—even though only half were. This "AI attribution bias" leads to: ✅ Higher accuracy detecting synthetic images ❌ Lower accuracy recognizing authentic images (5/)

We have a new tutorial out in Social Cog methods issue, a resampling tool we made in R that basically tells you when some average is "stable" and can be used to guide data collection or test hypotheses related to variance. Quick explanation here 1/n guilfordjournals.com/doi/10.1521/...

Thanks everyone for joining us and blessing us with sharp questions and engagement. Thank you Juliana, Angel, and Harry for your presentations! #sesp2025

I'll be presenting work led by Anqi Mao, a PhD student of mine, on improving human detection of AI-generated faces via training. This kicks off a new direction in our lab's research on social perception and interaction in digitally mediated contexts. More to come! @ohlab.bsky.social

Am I dreaming? Our symposium on AI disclosure, trust, and authenticity, my first-ever SESP submission, was accepted for #SESP2025 in Lisbon! (& my first time attending 🤩) Grateful to co-speakers Juliana Schroeder, Angel Hwang, and @harryyan.bsky.social who took a leap of faith and joined me on this.

👇Last chance to sign up!👇

Decision on your manuscript

For the first time, my trainees got their SPSP talks accepted--and 3 at once! Such a blessing. Congratulations to Finneaz Moner @firdausmoner.bsky.social [lab manager], Ming Huang (Ben) Teo [former lab manager)], and Joy Tong [PhD student]. Proud of their hard work. See you in Chicago! #SPSP2026

I'm recruiting PhD students to join my new lab in Fall 2026! The Shared Minds Lab at @usc.edu will combine deep learning and ecological human neuroscience to better understand how we communicate our thoughts from one brain to another.
