Wow, thank you for all this work! We just published a German sentence database, including sentence completion norms and audio recordings, which might be of interest: link.springer.com/article/10.3...
🚨 Our database is published in Behavior Research Methods: link.springer.com/article/10.3...
with Maximilian Stadler and @franziskaknolle.bsky.social

IMPACT OF PARENTHOOD ON UNIVERSITY EMPLOYMENT. Line graph shows how the probability of holding a research position changes from four years before to seven years after having children.
Becoming a parent is much more detrimental to women’s academic careers than it is to men’s

Some thoughts on @franziskaknolle.bsky.social recent paper on speech expectations, hallucinations, and glutamate: illness and chronicity may be important in understanding the role of glutamate in prior weighting www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S000...
I'm very grateful to have been part of this project (led by Elisabeth Friedrich-Higgs) and Paul Sauseng's team during my studies - learnt so much and fell in love with EEG 💫🧠
🚨Finally published - I'm very excited to share this work where we investigated the role of coordinated oscillatory activity 🧠 during social and visual WM processes and how impairments in fine-tuning this mechanisms may explain deficits in individuals with high autistic personality traits.
🚨Paper alert:
Very happy to share a new preprint investigating the stability of human-based sentence entropy measures and how well they are represented with LLM-based measures!
Spoiler alert: We still need human data!💡
Thanks to the amazing team!! 🤩

🚨Paper alert: So great to see this published. Our review on the predictive processing account of psychosis!
Thanks to the amazing team 🧠 - it was so much fun writing this piece. 🤩

BOLD signal changes can oppose oxygen metabolism across the human cortex, Nature Neuroscience
fMRI signals “up,” but neural metabolism might be going “down.”
In our @natneuro.nature.com paper, we demonstrate that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes.

Save the Date: The next ICHR Satellite Meeting will be in Munich, Sep 21-24 2026!
Hosted by @franziskaknolle.bsky.social & co-organised with @echrhallucinations.bsky.social, this will be our 5th satellite meeting and first trip to Germany.

🚨New preprint looking at neurobiological and computational mechanisms underlying altered language-related predictive processing and subclinical symptom formation in a schizotypy sample!
Great work by medical student Verena Demler! 🎉🧠

🚨lf you’re based in Munich and have a daughter or friends with one, this might be interesting to them! Experience a day as a neuroscientist 🧠💡we’re very excited to show the girls around and introduce them to our work!!! 🤩 www.girls-day.de/.oO/Show/tum...
Thanks to my supervisor Franziska Knolle and to our fantastic research intern Maximilian Stadler for his immense work in this project! Credits for the online tool go to Chuyang Wang! 🥳
With the MuSe database we hope to facilitate reproducible research across fields. All scripts and data can be found on OSF (osf.io/ktnze/overview). Make sure to check out our online tool (munichsentencedatabase.franziskaknolle.com) to customize sentence material according to your specific needs.
Excited to share the Munich Sentence Database (MuSe)!

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast) Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."
The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

If you’re in #Munich 🥨 and curious about decision-making, perception, and cognition through a translational lens, join us for a seminar I’m hosting on Oct 30 with three fantastic speakers: @jkesby.bsky.social (visiting from 🇦🇺), @miguelbengala.bsky.social, and @jacob-lab.bsky.social 🧠💡
Amazing news! Congrats Ondrej!!

Thrilled to share that @cognemo.bsky.social and I are guest editors for a Schizophrenia Bulletin special issue on Computational markers of psychosis: From latent states to neurobiological mechanisms 🧠✨
If you’re working on this topic, we’d love to see your work!

Teaching at the #Studienstiftung Sommerakademie in Leysin will definitely remain a core memory of my PhD! Discussing computational psychiatry with such a curious, interdisciplinary group of students was truly inspiring! Sharing the experience with @eckertal.bsky.social made it even more special ✨
What makes a puzzle hard?
I found this video delightful.
⏳ How stable are semantic predictions over time? And how do autistic and schizotypal traits influence this stability?
Excited to see our new paper on the temporal stability of semantic predictions published - together with my supervisor @franziskaknolle.bsky.social and Andrea Greve: rdcu.be/ewV32
Thank you #CPConf2025 for the great opportunity to share our research and for bringing together such an inspiring community! Already looking forward to next year! 🙌🧠
📢 Finally out! 🎉 — Our paper exploring model-free vs. model-based decision-making in OCD using fMRI and Bayesian modeling.
Many thanks to my supervisors @franziskaknolle.bsky.social & Prof. Dr. Kathrin Koch for the incredible support throughout this journey!

🚨Finally out-Our paper on how overweighting priors during semantic processing gives rise to misperceptions (or task-based hallucinations) in schizotypy!
Thanks to the amazing team❤️

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
Well that was fun!
A big thank you @cognemo.bsky.social @rssmith.bsky.social @esterner.bsky.social & R. Maramotti for coming all the way to Würzburg and delivering amazing talks.
Bringing Active Inference down to empirical data is not an easy feat but today's symposium was really inspiring! 🤓
Thrilled to co-chair my 1st symposium @ #PuG2025.
Make sure to drop by, this will be incredible! 🌟
