Roslyn Harold examined the interplay between the ERN, neuroticism, and internalizing symptoms! They found the moderating effect of ERN on the relation between trait neuroticism and ill temper symptoms is generalizable across task and quantification method! Great talk! #2025SPR
Bohyun “Gemma” Park took a multiverse approach to examine performance monitoring with ERP-behavior relationships. She found these relationships vary across tasks. Moving forward, it’s important to consider task-specific effects. Great work! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Kaylie Carbine conducted a multiverse analysis on the relationship between inhibitory control and caloric and carbohydrate intake! She found that N2 and P3 indices of inhibitory control may not be the best predictors of caloric intake. Great talk! #2025SPR @therealspd.bsky.social
Come to see more exciting PACER lab work this morning to hear our wonderful Roz give a talk!!
Hannes Carsten conducted a forking paths analysis to examine the impact of analytical decisions on the association of depressive symptomatology and the RewP! Results were highly sensitive to analytical decisions. Great work! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Francesco Versace discusses how optimizing artifact rejection can increase data quality and power to detect effects using the LPP as an example. Great talk! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Check out this symposium discussing applied examples of multiverse analysis in psychophysiological research co-chaired by Peter Clayson and Michael Larson! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Dr. Rosenberg examined whether mental health coaching would improve efficacy of TMS for major depression! He found that even though the coaching programs did not differ, they both were associated with greater symptom reduction versus a Benchmarking sample! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Dr. Quigley investigated hot and cold executive functioning in active and remitted depression! She found limited evidence for cold or hot EF deficits in active or remitted depressed individuals. Results may be due to measurement error due to remote administration or hot tasks being more difficult.
Dr. Wen examined brain network connectivity across depression and anxiety! When Default Mode Network connectivity was high, there was a decline in general distress but an increase in distress when connectivity was low. It didn’t predict fears or anhedonia-apprehension. Great talk #2025SPR
Check out this symposium illustrating advancements in using brain-based methods to better understand and treat depressive disorders co-chaired by Alainna Wen and Benjamin Rosenberg with featured discussant Diego Pizzagalli! 🧠 @therealspr.bsky.social #2025SPR
To sum up the session, Dr. Brandon Alderman drives home the importance of establishing the target mechanism, engaging the target, and linking evidence of target engagement to relevant clinical outcomes when studying exercise as an intervention! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Dr. CJ Brush gave a great talk finding that giving participants with depressive symptomatology the autonomy to choose a preferred exercise intensity resulted in increased incentive salience (cue-P3) and a larger initial response to the reward (RewP)! #2025SPR
Kenan Sayers gave a great talk finding that exercise leads to an immediate decrease in state anxiety and anxiety sensitivity and that exercise reduces the emotion LPP to negative stimuli! Next, he wants to examine this finding in a clinical population and with repeated bouts of exercise. #2025SPR
Karly Knudson gave a great talk finding that a 30 minute session of moderate exercise did not have an effect on the P3 in older adults who were healthy or had mild cognitive impairment! In the future, she wants to examine if a longer dose of exercise would have an effect. #2025SPR
On behalf of Aaron Kuznik, Dr. Kao gave a great talk discussing the importance of tailoring the prescription of exercise interventions due to the fluctuation in inhibitory control during intense intermittent exercise! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Come check out the symposium exploring the use of psychophysiology to advance personalized exercise-based interventions for mental health!🏋🏽♀️🧘🏻♂️ It’s chaired by Dr. CJ Brush! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social Updates to come!
