Excited to share another preprint, in which we continue exploring the representational structure of (dis)belief, and what it means to believe or disbelieve. We also use some pretty cool computational analyses. Would really love it if you checked it out 🤍 doi.org/10.21203/rs....

New preprint! How do people form trust under (mis)information? Across 8 experiments, trust in news sources mostly followed an equal-weight strategy rather than “one strike and you’re out”. But for political content, Democrats (but not Republicans) differed in mechanism. osf.io/preprints/ps...

It’s been half a year since this publication in @pnas.org, which means it’s now fully open access :) If you’re interested in how belief and disbelief shape the way we process narratives and information, take a look! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

My favourite part of writing is naming studies/proposals after somewhat obscure films, feeling clever until a peer deletes the title without mercy. This round: 'The Self of Another', inspired by 'The Face of Another'.

This project wouldn’t have come together without the amazing team -- Tomer Zipori and @louisteitelbaum.bsky.social for the heavy lifting and computational analysis, @lewan.bsky.social for his insight, and @profsanderlinden.bsky.social whose vision made this possible. Truly grateful for this!

The Timbre of Lies Ever feel like people who believe the same story are on the same wavelength? Their brains might just be.

New preprint alert! 🐥 "Continued memory for misinformation, continued trust in the sources that spread it: The effects of language and self-correction". In my completely unbiased opinion, it’s a very nice and interesting read! Full paper at: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

NEW preprint! We study cases with several meanings (e.g., replying “I’m feeling sick” to “Wanna go to the beach?”). How does being truthful in one meaning, but maybe not another, shape perceived commitment to each meaning and overall trust in a speaker? doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Shared disbelief and shared belief: Belief and disbelief as drivers of interpersonal neural synchronization during narrative processing
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 23, June 2025. SignificanceWe live in what many describe as a post-truth era, where truth is increasingly contested. Despite efforts to mitigate this issue, little is known about the cognitive processes underlying believed/disbelieved information. This fMRI study ...

Bed-bound with high fever, while now and then having to run to a shelter filled with children. So.... seems like the right time to write and share my second substack post: "How scientific value is too often measured in dollars" open.substack.com/pub/gabrielb...

How scientific value is too often measured in dollars
In this post, I want to touch on something a bit more controversial.

For my first BlueSky post I want to share this freshly published paper in PNAS @pnas.org! We show how belief and disbelief shape narrative processing in the brain, not just as opposites of a continuum, but as distinct effects, including a cool truth/belief bias. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
