Excited about our new paper showing we can distinguish Democrats from Republicans by their brain activity while making decisions about purchasing food, but not by their choices. #neuropolitics

I told Viktor Orbán that he is the useful idiot of Russia and China. He was not amused:

My students at @ExeterPolitics just wrote strategies about how to use #PoliticalPsychology to protect elections. Stumbled upon Defending Democracy page that's nearly empty of content. @NCSC, you need help? Billions vote in 2024. Kinda late on this one... ncsc.gov.uk/collection/defen…

Such an honor to get to teach Introduction to Agent Based Modeling again at the Essex Summer School. All of the students made dramatic strides in their thinking and a number of them got quite far in turning that thinking into working code. (essexsummerschool.com/) #ABM #NetLogo
It was great being interviewed by Esther Armaignac for the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship podcast after I presented my #neuropolitics work on #nonpartisans in Montreal. csdc-cecd.ca/029b-darren-sch… @AsnPLS
Listened to @drdrew since I was a teen in LA, so excited to get a chance to chat about #neuropolitics and insights about human nature as revealed by work using brain imaging in political and social cognition #YourBrainIsBuilt4Politics drdrew.com/2019/darren-schre…
Is attending class is important? Analyzed data from the last course that I taught: 1) the difference in average final grade between the worst attenders and best attenders was 20 points, 2) each class missed connected to a loss of about 2 points on the final course grade.
MIT Tech Review quoted me discussing the possibilities of using neuropolitics to "hack voters' brains."
