When someone offends you while smiling, should your brain interpret it as a genuine smile or as an offense? Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig and the University of Haifa, Israel, have identified neural mechanisms that help us understand whether a difficult social situation is emotionally positive or negative. To do this, they used emotionally confusing scenes from movies like Quentin Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs”.

“Feel-good films” are usually dismissed by film critics as being sentimental and without intellectual merit. But their popularity with audiences, who seek them out precisely because of their “feel-good” qualities, tells a more favorable story. Now, for the first time, this popular movie genre is examined scientifically. A new study from the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics investigates which feel-good films are considered by viewers to be prototypical and which factors constitute their feel-good effect.

Wie beeinflussen Verhalten und Umwelt die Funktion des Genoms? Epigenetische Modifikationen des Genoms, zu denen chemische Veränderungen an Proteinen, RNA oder DNA gehören, sind umkehrbar. Sie verändern die DNA-Sequenz nicht, können aber das Ablesen der DNA beeinflussen. Wir interessieren uns für die Regulation der epigenetischen Veränderung komplexer Merkmale über Generationen hinweg. Dazu kombinieren wir Bioinformatik, Epigenomik, Tumorbiologie und Fliegengenetik, um die Rolle der Veränderungen und der daran beteiligten Enzyme bei Alterung, Entwicklung und Krankheiten zu untersuchen.

Scientists researching the origins and evolution of graphic codes have turned to the popular web platform Reddit to explore how culture evolves. When a Reddit art initiative attracted over one million online participants, Thomas Müller and James Winters of the Minds and Traditions (Mint) group at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History saw an opportunity to test the dynamics of cultural change.
