New #neuroforecasting #megaanalysis suggests that effective messages recruit #reward and #mentalizing circuits -- in individuals and at scale!
Though there's much yet to learn, this collaboration (headed by Christin Scholz and Hang-Yee Chan, and guided by Emily Falk) offers encouraging support for the replicability of #neuroforecasting findings...

Good morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

6 November 2025

Above my desk hangs a landscape print—a gift from my last job, given for either five or ten years of service. I don’t recall which. By the time I reached fifteen years, they’d stopped doing that altogether. The company had changed hands by then, and the ritual of recognition faded with it.

The print doesn’t hold any sentimental weight for me. I’m thinking of giving it to Goodwill and replacing it with one of my own photographs—something with personal resonance, maybe a bird in flight or a quiet perch.

Back then, the gifting process involved a catalog. You’d flip through a book of options and make your selection. I checked to see if a new car was tucked in there somewhere—no car, not even a bicycle. Most of the offerings were trinkets, tokens of acknowledgment more than celebration. I didn’t look a gift horse in the mouth, but I did notice the relative insignificance of the gesture. It came with a certificate, which may or may not still be buried somewhere in my things.

I understand the impulse to honor longevity. In the Army, soldiers receive a medal for every three years of good conduct—essentially for staying out of trouble. They also wear hash marks on their uniforms, one for every three years of service. A visible ledger of time.

It feels like I should be making a point, doesn’t it? But I already did. I’m replacing the print above my desk with one of my bird photographs. The rest was just thoughts circling around.

I’ll need a ladder.

"Seven rock pigeons slice through a clear blue sky, each one caught in a different posture of flight—wings outstretched, tucked, or mid-beat. Their bodies are painted in soft grays and muted blues, with darker upper feathers and lighter underparts that catch the morning light. The birds are scattered across the frame like notes in a melody, each one contributing to the rhythm of motion.

Some fly in parallel, others diverge slightly, creating a dynamic composition that feels both spontaneous and orchestrated. The background is a uniform sky—no clouds, no distractions—just a vast canvas of blue that lets the birds stand out in sharp relief. Their feathers are etched with clarity, and the lighting reveals subtle textures: the curve of a wing, the glint of a beak, the shadow beneath a tail.

This is not just a flock—it is a sovereign ballet in the open air, a moment of shared direction and individual grace, suspended in the hush of sky." - Microsoft Copilot

Ci avete mai pensato?
Quando giocate, non è solo il vostro personaggio a evolversi — lo fa anche il vostro cervello.
Dopamina, noradrenalina, flow, ricompensa, stress controllato: ogni partita è un piccolo laboratorio neurochimico.
E dietro ogni controller, una mente che si adatta, sbaglia, impara e si reinventa.

🎮🧠
Il tuo cervello non gioca: lavora.

When you play, it’s not just your character that evolves — your brain does too.
Dopamine, noradrenaline, flow, reward, controlled stress: every match is a small neurochemical lab.
Behind every controller, a mind adapts, fails, learns, and reshapes itself.

🎮🧠
Your brain doesn’t play: it works.

“There is a veil: that veil is black. It is the veil of the modest woman; it is the veil of sorrow, & the pall of death: this is none of me. Tear down that lying spectre of the centuries: veil not your vices in virtuous words: these vices are my service; ye do well, & I will reward you here and hereafter.”
