SANS 2026 deadline has been extended by a week to **next Monday Jan 19th 23:59 PT**!

We encourage all current and prospective members of the SANS community to take advantage of the extended deadline and submit their work for consideration as either an individual poster or oral presentation!

Thanks so much @cfcamerer.bsky.social! @sansmeeting.bsky.social is incredibly grateful for the support of the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen SDN Center for SANS 2026 and look forward to working together.

Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen SDN Center @caltech.edu was proud to help sponsor SANS 2026 under @dfareri.bsky.social and @jenikubota.bsky.social leadership. It is a superb conference

🚨 New paper: Psychological, social, and health-related factors predict risk for financial exploitation (Yang et al @jenyangyi.bsky.social @dfareri.bsky.social) out in Communications Psychology.
It’s not just age/income—trust, fairness, and emotion regulation matter too.

🚨 New preprint: Contributions of default mode network to subjective valuation and maladaptive decision making (PsyArXiv). We argue the DMN shapes how we value choices — and how its disruption contributes to poor decisions.

Thanks @jenikubota.bsky.social & @profpaulboxer.bsky.social! I’m excited to take this on and to have the chance to work with you, Jeni, and our community during these challenging times.

Come to sunny San Diego, April 14-20, 2026, for #SANS2026!

A quote from Joseph LeDoux's 2000 article titled "Emotion Circuits in the brain." The quote says "The limbic system itself has been a moving target… after half a century of debate and discussion, there are still no agreed upon criteria that can be used to decide which areas of the brain belong to the limbic system… both the anatomical concept and the emotional function it was supposed to mediate were defined so vaguely as to be irrefutable… In spite of the fact that the limbic system concept remains the predominant view about how the brain makes emotions, it is a flawed and inadequate theory of the emotional brain…"

What's with the revival of "limbic"? In recent cog neuro textbooks, papers, and scientific talks, I've seen more of the "limbic system" than I have for years.

Affective neuroscientists argued that this idea should be thrown out *25 years ago*. Why are we backsliding? #friendsdontletfriendssaylimbic

Science doesn’t grow in a vacuum; it thrives on shared ideas and fresh perspectives. Thanks to #sans2025 for building bridges and connecting the dots, and to @elisabaek.bsky.social & @jfguassimoreira.bsky.social for creating the opportunity!
