Expectation Violations as an Effective Alternative to Complex Mentalizing in Novel Communication

This study shows that expectancy violations can be as effective as complex mentalizing in novel communication, with faster reaction times and comparable accuracy.

Communication with Surprise-Computational Principles of Goal Signaling in Novel Human Interactions

The paper investigates how people use surprise based on physical priors to communicate without shared language, showing a correlation between surprise and physiological/neural responses.

A causal role of the human left temporoparietal junction in computing social influence during goal-directed learning

This study uses brain stimulation and computational modeling to show that left TPJ causally influences how individuals adjust their choices based on others' dissenting opinions during learning.

A brain network supporting social influences in human decision-making

The paper identifies a brain network involving reward and social hubs that supports social influence in decision-making by tracking dissociable neural representations of direct and vicarious valuation.
