why is that effortful task SO unappealing today? v happy to share a BIG effort from my PhD! Real-world fluctuations in motivation drive effort-based choices osf.io/preprints/psya… with incredible Agnes Norbury Quentin Huys & Tobias Hauser #preprint

Excited to share here the story of Shawn, a patient in our adaptive DBS study -nature.com/articles/s4159…

I’m excited to share the results of a massive collaborative effort from the Brody Lab, now in preprint form at: tinyurl.com/crs85sta Thread below:

Incredibly excited about this massive collaborative effort to longitudinally phenotype (for 2 years!) 1800 patients & 600 controls w/ MPIs Dr. Chris Pittenger Godfrey Pearlson. Too many rock star collaborators to name but here are a few w/ twitter: Robb Rutledge Anna Konova Quentin Huys

New paper finds that diagnostic mental health labels (e.g. 'depression') can - increase perception individuals require treatment - increase empathy & support - reduce perceived control people have over their problems & likelihood of recovery journals.plos.org/mentalhealth/a…

Super excited to share our new preprint “Unravelling Repetitive Negative Thinking With Reinforcement Learning”! Co-authored with Peter Hitchcock & Paul Sharp osf.io/preprints/psya… 1/8

🔥New Paper from the lab! Led by Masakazu Taira (Masa) and our awesome team, we reveal the learning components signaled by dopamine release in the Nucleus Accumbens core (NAcC): jneurosci.org/content/44/35/…

Finally a biomarker for depression? Frontostriatal network expansion, with large difference depressed vs. controls, d ca. 0.8, and replicated thrice (!!!) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Happy to share that our work applying precision mapping to individuals with depression sampled longitudinally over an extended period has been published this week in @nature. Brief recap of the main findings and their potential implications below. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Need a thrilling weekend reading recommendation? I might have just the thing for you! 👉rdcu.be/dTa5D Read the final paper Nature Human Behaviour and don't skip the *peer review*!😱😱😱 Thanks to my brilliant collaborators [email protected] Nassar Lab and Shenhav Lab !🧡🧡🧡

Interesting new paper on reward and interoception from Frederike Petzschner and colleagues osf.io/preprints/psya… - somatic marker theory updated for the computational era!

Does neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI, EEG, MEG etc) still have utility/attraction in the rapidly evolving landscape of human neuroscience? If you are wondering about this, check out this review/perspective from Alisa Loosen Ayaka Kato and myself (1/n) nature.com/articles/s4138… Center for Computational Psychiatry

Happy to share our book chapter on sequential sampling models (SSMs) in economic choice, with Kianté Fernandez and Taro Xiaozhi Yang, forthcoming in Neuroeconomics: Core Topics and Current Directions. We review work unraveling the dynamics of economic choice. osf.io/preprints/psya…

📰 New preprint! We show using computational modelling that transdiagnostic compulsivity is associated with greater uncertainty about learned task structure This work was led by Siri Sookud, starting during her MSc Thread below👇 osf.io/preprints/psya… 1/n

Super excited to be co-organizing the New York Computational Psychiatry Workshop (NYCPW) w/ Angela Radulescu this year at Center for Computational Psychiatry! We have an exciting 3 days planned & a stellar team of instructors! Apply by Sept 23: form.jotform.com/242484145124149 More info: …or-computational-psychiatry.github.io/course_nycpw/

Delighted to see Tore Erdmann's study out in JAMA Psychiatry: Amygdala Reactivity, Antidepressant Discontinuation, and Relapse jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…. Amygdala reactivity to faces increases with antidepressant discontinuation mostly in those who then go on to relapse. Henrik Walter

Preprint alert! After 4 years, I’m super excited to share work with Charley Wu (@thecharleywu.bsky.social) Sam Gershman Helmholtz Institute for Human-Centered AI on the rise and fall of technological development in virtual communities in #OneHourOneLife #ohol 🧵👇 doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…

🚨Super excited to announce that my first first-author paper with Robb Rutledge is now published in Nature Communications! 🎉  Surprising sounds systematically bias humans to take more risks. Full paper: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… Yale Psychology Wu Tsai Institute | Yale University Yale University 🧵 (1/n)

Better science is slower science. Better science is informed by other disciplines.

My first first-author paper with Joey Heffner Gloria Feng Jutta Joormann & Robb Rutledge is now published in PNASNews! 🎉 Human- and ChatGPT-rated language sentiment of brief text responses predicted changes in depression. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… Yale Psychology Yale University 🧵(1/n)
