Very happy to share this new preprint - we show how directed exploration and learning rates are affected in methamphetamine use disorder during aversive interoceptive state induction (medrxiv.org/content/10.110…). Carter Goldman Toru TAKAHASHI (髙橋徹) Robert Wilson Martin Paulus Sahib Khalsa 🧵↓

“The ‘medical model’ is conflated with the idea that all medical conditions are discrete biological disease entities, an assumption that isn’t even true for much of general medicine, let alone psychiatry.” (Awais Aftab)

The reason why many scientists make their code available is not because journals require them to do so, but because it is the right thing to do for them in terms of their job/mission including the progress of science overall

Ever wondered how nature affects the subjective and neural pain response? 🧠🌳⚡️

Then come see my talk tomorrow 24.05. at 2pm in Auditorium 2 escan2024 @ Ghent

Anyone on here know the details about eligibility for home vs international fees and is willing to talk to me soon about it? Struggling to understand the exact rules.

At escan2024 @ Ghent and inteterested in interoception and development? Stop by my talk in the KatLab organized symposium on 'Interoception: from the Cradle to the Clinic' at 2pm today! KatLab, Manos Tsakiris, Rosie Drysdale, Micah G. Allen

Sacha Epskamp | @sachaepskamp.bsky.social Together with Johnny van Doorn, we are working with Andy Field to write 'Discovering Statistics Using JASP'. We are making quick progress, so expect an update soon!

Now published in Behavior Research Methods: A tutorial on fitting models of M/EEG and behavior to understand cognition. We wrote this so that readers from different backgrounds, especially Masters & PhD students, would find it useful.

Hello Brussels. Time to figure out a train to Ghent.

Anyone out there fitting hierarchical computational models directly to human brain data? Obv one can extract signals of interest and put them into a model as IVs, but I’m more curious about papers fitting hierarchical generative models to brain and behavior in one go.

Today begins my summer conference travel bonanza.

Gran always warned us about people who only wait for you to stop talking, so they can speak. That’s not listening and is a red flag 🚩 that they don’t care about you, just what they can get from you.
