Article Abstract
In this preliminary study, we examined the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on social cognition in 36 individuals with schizophrenia. Participants received a baseline assessment and one week later received either anodal, cathodal, or sham tDCS, with 12 participants randomized to each condition. A single 20-minute session tDCS was administered bilaterally over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (centered at positions Fp1 and Fp2) at 2 mA. Among the 4 social cognitive tasks, participants showed a significant improvement on one of them, emotion identification, following anodal stimulation. Findings demonstrate the safety of this procedure and suggest potential therapeutic effects on one aspect of social cognition in schizophrenia.

This study examines how choral singing functions as a mechanism for sustaining ritual practice and reinforcing cultural identity. By integrating perspectives from musicology, social psychology, and cognitive science, it explores how collective vocal performance supports emotional attunement, group cohesion, and symbolic memory in culturally diverse contexts. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining ethnographic observation, survey-based data, and cognitive measures with AI-informed frameworks such as voice emotion recognition and neural synchrony modeling.

However, these studies did not fully account for early life contextual factors or test whether the beneficial associations between higher neurocognitive functioning and mortality extend to children exposed to early adversity.
Objective: To explore how the associations of child neurocognition with mortality changed according to the patterns of adversity children experienced.

In this pre-registered experiment conducted in the Netherlands and Türkiye (N = 550), we investigated how the source of advice (peer vs. expert) influences people's decision-making when assessing the carbon footprint of a flight between two cities. We also examined whether this effect was influenced by their conspiracy mentality, collective narcissism, epistemic individualism, and climate change scepticism.
