I had lots of fun talking about the brain and the Brain Explorer App app with ExploringByTheSeat - Find us on BlueSky today - check it out below 👇🏼

5 Minute Read - "We can develop computational models to look at different bits of the decision-making process." Tobias Hauser Smartphone games and #citizenscience have the potential to reveal how our brains make a decision. Interview by Juanita bold.expert/levelling-up-r…

Wie kann man Gehirnforschung mittels Smartphones betreiben? Quarks ist dieser Frage nachgegangen und hat mit Tobias Hauser über die Brain Explorer App app gesprochen: wdrmedien-a.akamaihd.net/medp/podcast/w… (1h19ff) #CitizenScience Max Planck Institute for Human Development Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry @WCHN_UCL

Did you ever wonder what happens when you play Brain Explorer App games? It allows us to do cool science! Check out our first manuscript that uses BrainExplorer data, led by Vasilisa Skvortsova 👇🏼👩🏽‍🚀🚀🧠

Spielend einfach mitforschen📱: Letzte Woche ging es bei Quarks um spannende #CitizenScience-Apps wie die von Flora Incognita oder Brain Explorer App. Wie funktioniert Gehirnforschung mittels Smartphone 🧠? Die Antwort dazu findet ihr ab 1 Std. 19 Min.: wdrmedien-a.akamaihd.net/medp/podcast/w…

Why are young children more #optimistic than adolescents? New research from Johanna Habicht, Tobias Hauser & colleagues has shown that young children have an optimism bias which declines as they grow into adolescence.

We are happy to announce that Tobias Hauser - lead researcher on the Brain Explorer App app - has been awarded the 'excellence in public engagement' award for brain explorer and his work on #OCD

The researchers behind Brain Explorer App are teaming up with International OCD Foundation and OCD Action to create new resources to understand the brain's role in OCD - be part of this! 👇🏻

Have you ever gone back and checked whether the oven is off or whether the house is properly locked🤷 People with #OCD have an increasing urge to gather information about their action’s outcomes. Our researchers try to understand how these compulsions arise🧠 #OCDAwarenessWeek

What do you know about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? In sessions people with OCD confront their fears and are not allowed to perform their OCD rituals. This takes a lot of courage! CBT has helped lots of people get better, but it doesn’t work for everyone👇 #OCDAwarenessWeek

'Thinking about thinking” is what we call an ability known as metacognition🧠 It’s how we evaluate our own thoughts and actions. How confident are you on a memory you have had or a decision you made? In OCD, this ability goes awry 👇 #OCDAwarenessWeek

Playing and helping mental health research? What else do you want 🤓 Medical Research Foundation funded research by Tobias Hauser medicalresearchfoundation.org.uk/news/science-g… #medicalResearchFoundation #medicalresearch #london
