I passed my PhD viva! 🙌✨

Thank you to the examiners @martynquigley.bsky.social and @cycology.bsky.social for a thoughtful discussion! Huge thank you to my supervisor @olijrobinson.bsky.social and the Neuroscience and Mental Health Lab for the amazing years - luckily I'm not going anywhere just yet

Very nice. We’re about to collect hours and are currently in the stimulus selection phase

@peterakirk.bsky.social is who you need. What’s the movie btw?

Assessing fear and anxiety in humans using the threat of predictable and unpredictable aversive events (the NPU-threat test) The threat of predictable and unpredictable aversive events was developed to assess short-duration (fear) and long-duration (anxiety) aversive states in humans. A typical experiment consists of three conditions: a safe condition (neutral (N)), ...

congrats! Great news!

Yep, definitely need four of those

Out today in Molecular Psychiatry our paper on multiverse computational factor modeling (i.e. a lotta lotta factor analyses). Thread below for the full rundown. Last PhD paper from @celinef.bsky.social YOU'RE FREE!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is complete madness. Music, for instance - the physics, the maths, the notation, the neuroscience of perceptual systems etc. are all essentially figured out. Literally none of that is relevant to why someone plays your song at their wedding.

Post doc job alert 📢! Announcing a v exciting job on a Wellcome-funded project in my group at UCL, looking at auditory hallucinations... Advert here 👀: rb.gy/230w8l - deadline is end of Oct. Please apply! 1/5

That would be extremely altrusitic. Forego your entire salary and research costs for the next generations jobs 😂

Unless a postdoc salary is insanely low in some parts of Europe I guess?

Point taken, but something is off with the maths here. I guess it’s ignoring fellow salary, research costs and overheads? in uk you t be getting more than 1 (plus some RAs) for this top line in 2014 and that’s not really changed.

Interested in building computational models of anxiety? See below for a potential PhD opportunity with me

Huge congrats! Excellent news!

Just posted with @serenxia.bsky.social and @pharmacopsychology.bsky.social : a systematic review of pharmacological effects on human aversive memory. We searched data bases for 215 candidate drugs and summarise the evidence from 100 studies on 36 compounds following #PRISMA2020 protocol.

The strengths and limitations of CBT across mental health conditions CBT is a cornerstone of mental health care, but how well does it work across disorders? New meta-analysis offers some answers and raises new questions.

not sure they've even got the risk aversion right. Likely both sectors, but consulting for absolute certain, are going to undergo AI-driven contraction.

Most definitely not just you 😉.

Doesn’t matter for atheortical network analyses…after all ‘rest’ is very variable.

But for the sorts of things in most ‘BWAS’ - i.e. data driven network analyses - you can just append all those sequences together to create a long one. At a glance this paper shows that for theory driven task analyses you can get away with 20-30 mins even with old school tasks
