Human-computer interactions predict mental health Scalable assessments of mental illness, the leading driver of disability worldwide, remain a critical roadblock toward accessible and equitable care. Here, we show that human-computer interactions enc...

Thanks a lot to @leopoldina.org & @bbrfoundation.bsky.social

@healthtalkscic.bsky.social is an amazing initiative! Many stories follow the same pattern: people are living with mental-health challenges for years before anyone names what’s happening. The delays are heartbreaking and call for scalable tools that can identify & support people much earlier.

Over a billion people living with mental health conditions – services require urgent scale-up More than 1 billion people are living with mental health disorders, according to new data released by the World Health Organization (WHO), with conditions such as anxiety and depression inflicting imm...

This is the sobering reality of my morning coffee: 1 billion people are living with a mental-health condition. Countries spend no more than $65 per person on mental health, with 13 mental-health workers for every 100k people.

Thanks Ben ... It was great to meet you and to learn about all the cool & important things you are doing!

I am very excited to share our new preprint together with @Isabella Goodwin, @Kelly Diederen, @Emily Hird,
@veithweilnhammer.bsky.social, and @Marta Garrido! Where does predictive processing stand in psychosis research - revisiting Sterzer et al (2018) seven years later. 🧠🔍?

This is a super exciting opening with the best mentor you could ask for!

N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor hypofunction causes recurrent and transient failures of perceptual inference Perception combines external sensory signals with internal predictions that reflect prior knowledge about the world. Weilnhammer et al. show that the NMDAR

Thanks a lot to my coauthors, Marcus Rothkirch, Deniz Yilmaz, Merve Fritsch, Lena Esther Ptasczynski, Katrin Reichenbach, Lukas Rödiger, @philcorlett.bsky.social, and Philipp Sterzer, as well as for the generous funding by @leopoldina.org!

New paper in @brain1878.bsky.social: Healthy people under S-ketamine, an NMDAR antagonist, and people living with schizophrenia, a disorder associated with NMDAR hypofunction, spend more time in an external mode of perception - where noisy sensory signals override knowledge about the world.
