iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Some personal note: This is the first paper first-authored by a student of mine. Immensely proud of Anqi Mao for carrying it through. I've admired J Neurosci ever since I can remember. My younger self wouldn't believe he would publish there as the senior author one day.

We validated these patterns. New faces were generated along the modeled directions, and shown to new people, which elicited the predicted responses, but only when people were making social judgments, rather than purely perceptual ones. So these patterns captured something socially meaningful.

3) Amygdala firing was the most specific of all, tracking approachability alone (trustworthiness, likability), unrelated to threat, power, or even other valence-loaded traits like attractiveness. A narrow and distinct signal from the sample of neurons we were able to record.

2) Fixation duration on the eyes + hippocampal firing during fixations were narrowly tuned to threat (dominance, fright, meanness), without the mirrored relationship to trust/likability seen in 1), with eye fixations tracking power and hipp'l fixation firing tracking valence.

1) Pupil size + hippocampal firing during saccades were driven by integrated judgments of valence and power. Faces read as negative & high-power (dominant, frightening) drove dilation & increased firing; faces read as positive & low-power (trustworthy, likable) did the opposite.

Dan Oh (DongWon) | 오동원 @ohdanieldw.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

We built data-driven models using eye-tracking and human neuronal recording data to identify which facial features correlate with each of these physiological responses. Turns out these responses aren't tracking the same thing: three distinct patterns emerged.

Dan Oh (DongWon) | 오동원 @ohdanieldw.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

We know a lot about how facial features shape explicit judgments, like who looks friendly. We know a lot less about how these same features show up in spontaneous physiological responses--what kind of face gets more fixations/ pupil dilation/ amygdalar and hippocampal firings, for example?

I'll be recruiting PhD students (2027 entry) and a postdoc to join the lab at Berkeley. Interests: • continuous person perception in interactive contexts • impression management and its biases • social perception in digital spaces Get in touch if there's overlap. Very excited for this next chapter!

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...
