So excited to be awarded an We are now Research Ireland #GOI2023 Postdoctoral Fellowship 🙌 I’ll explore the temporal dynamics of mental health using smartphone technology📱and remote brain stimulation ⚡️. Can’t wait to start with @clairegillanTCD and Psychology TCD #LoveIrishResearch

The School of Psychology is exceptionally proud of our recent awardees of We are now Research Ireland funding - PhD studentships for Gabriel Byczynski, PhD and Áine T. Dineen and Postdoctoral Fellowships for Eike Buabang and Vanessa Teckentrup | @glassybrain.bsky.social 🍾🏅👏 research.ie/2023/09/11/min…

🎉🚀Happy to say I've been awarded an We are now Research Ireland Postdoc Fellowship for my project “Understanding the mechanisms of habits and compulsivity: A neural decoding approach” With @clairegillanTCD we will be exploring the mental and neural aspects of habit formation & expression🧠

In Dublin tomorrow and want to open Pandora’s box about the myths of habits ? 🧙‍♂️🔮 Come along (and bring a friend! 👯‍♀️) to this FREE event happening at Front Square from 2pm Trinity College Dublin Start Talking About Research Today

1st paper from my industry-based PhD is out! It's #qualitative #implementationresearch on stakeholders (service-based, commercial, patients) associated with the implementation of #icbt. Kinda proud of myself! #impsci #dtx

Hi grad programs! If your letter of recommendation portal requires me to rate a student's "emotional stability" or similar, I will endorse everyone's "stability" as "once-in-a-decade" until you remove this stigmatizing and frankly embarrassing (for clinical psych programs) item!

Four (!) new @UCL postdoc positions open for superexciting computational psychiatry study combining cutting-edge computational methods with two(!) large RCTs to test whether different antidepressants treat depression via different RL mechanisms tinyurl.com/mr43c29h. Please RT.

Delighted to hear this work is now published in Communications Psychology nature! Thanks to the reviewers for the insightful feedback on this. 🔗 bit.ly/47c0wB5 for the improved manuscript 🤩

📢2nd DClin paper with UL Psychology & Acquired Brain Injury Ireland📢 In an ABI population, we found significant positive associations between quality of therapeutic relationships and clients' self-awareness, after controlling for the impact of cognitive problems on awareness tinyurl.com/2ts6yzzp

📢The first #preprint of my PhD is out!🧠doi.org/10.31234/osf.i… Do you feel you have memory problems? And would an objective test detect any? Both subjective & objective insights can help in #earlydetection of cognitive decline. Here, we used the Neureka📱 to study both! 1/n

Vagal signals are seen as inhibitory but there is lots of evidence suggesting they are way more adaptive than that. Nils Kroemer and I packed them into an easily digestible TiCS review for you to feast on 🔥 50 day free access, and a little appetizer 👇 tinyurl.com/bdh279jv

The lab of Dr Claire Gillan is recruiting a 4 year PhD student in #ComputationalPsychiatry 📱🧠 Neureka Institute of Neuroscience, Trinity College (TCIN) - apply by December 21st here - gillanlab.com/join-the-lab/

📢New preprint: Problem gamblers have higher decision and task performance confidence than matched controls, despite lower self-esteem. This isn't fully explained by their elevated Anxiety-Depression or Compulsive Behaviour and Intrusive Thought symptoms. psyarxiv.com/j59ds

New paper on implementing precision medicine in personalizing psychological treatments: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Too many amazing authors to tag all: Zachary Cohen @lluaces Jessica Schleider, PhD @DrEhrenreich Eiko Fried Christian Webb chris beevers Aaron Fisher Claudi Bockting Nick Jacobson

My job as a research fellow at one of the world's best universities (a requirement of which is a doctorate) pays less than this and so, on this definition, I am an unskilled worker who wouldn't be allowed into the country. This system is utterly ridiculous..

Wrapping up a fantastic #PuG2024 in Hamburg ⛴️ Thanks to everyone who joined Lieneke Janssen, @s_nebe, Angela M. Brands, and me at our symposium #habits #scienceofhabits 🧠 Looking forward to the next one! Psychology & Brain

Here is Sharon Lee with a super exciting presentation on predicting treatment response using a network approach 3 major points 1. Large scale approach 2. Controlling for confounds 3. Effect contexualisation

How predictive are network metrics compared to baseline psychometrics? Not super good. Challenge the presumption that cross sectional networks can be used for treatment prediction Need to move to an individual level
