We invite psychology researchers at any stage of their career and at any type of institution to consider submitting their proposal formatted as a Stage 1 Registered Report for consideration to receive research funding from SIPS and a recommendation decision from PCI-RR!

🚨New paper out in AMPPS! proud to be part of this one, another solid product of @improvingpsych.org✨
We mapped the grey zones of psychology’s research culture through a consensus process. Ever wondered, “Wait... is this a questionable practice?” You’re not alone: doi.org/10.1177/2515... #OpenScience
Great materials! Thanks for sharing this
🧠 Our new #ERP paper is out‼️
We know #P3 increases during exclusion after inclusion, but what if we flip it? We tested #overinclusion after #exclusion #P3 stayed stable, but #P2 and self-reports of emotion & belonging shifted.
Inclusion ≠ just the flip side of exclusion.

Excited to share our new paper: a walkthrough of tools, tradeoffs, & practical decisions #ECRs face when doing #OpenScience across curation, processing, harmonizing, and sharing #MRI and #EEG data. My first as last author!
Huge thanks to Nikhil Bhagwat, @surchs.bsky.social & Jean-Baptiste Poline!
#SIPS2025 is on a boat!!!! So thankful for this amazing community of scholars. It’s a joy every time I get to attend.
Shoutout to the amazing team behind it @helenahartmann.com @susannevogel.bsky.social @caggursoy.bsky.social
@alexandroskas.bsky.social @mfjsperl.bsky.social @alinakoppold.bsky.social

Grateful for the collaboration & brains on this 💛
Still feeling proud post-SIPS @improvingpsych.org ,our project ARIADNE was awarded a SIPS Commendation! It’s been a long path, but we made it.
Tool’s live here: igor-biodgps.github.io/ARIADNE
Paper is out too: doi.org/10.1177/2515...
A recent MIT study arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872 found that repeated use of AI writing assistants can subtly shift how people reason and write. So how will researchers’ brains change in the long run?
Anyone else curious how neuropsych will tackle this?
Really appreciated the timing of this great topic “AI for Dummies: Using AI for good in psychology” at SIPS @improvingpsych.org (see image) 👏We should be having more open discourse on how researchers are actually using #AI in practice, not just what’s possible, but what’s already embedded!
Brought my IGOR bag (from last week’s #PuG2025 @igor-dgps.bsky.social) to SIPS @improvingpsych.org, full circle moment. Both have shaped how I approach open, reproducible neuro + psych research and collaborative methods. Ps. Brainhack still hits different for the nerdiest magic.
Thanks for having me for this great symposium with many other incredible igor projects! Looking forward to it
Honoured to join the IGOR steering committee earlier this& last year, now excited to welcome the new members to the team! 🧠👏
Looking forward to it!
Ps. The igor social event is happening now!
+ symposium & round table tomorrow! Don’t miss it @pug2025.bsky.social
Too bad you won’t be there! We’re still in the full-text screening phase, but I’ll definitely share the results once they’re ready. Really appreciate your interest in the project! :)
If you’re at the PUG conference, come check out our session! Would love to hear your thoughts—(and yep, this umbrella review is still very much in progress 😅)
Come to joins us where I will present our project - “Is There a Standard? An Umbrella Review of EEG Preprocessing Pipelines for
ERP Studies” #PUG2025 @pug2025.bsky.social
Only about a week until @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social #PuG2025 @pug2025.bsky.social in Würzburg! So excited for our IGOR @igor-dgps.bsky.social symposium with @mreutter.bsky.social @caggursoy.bsky.social @mariame.bsky.social @ufangyang.bsky.social @alinakoppold.bsky.social @mklingelhoeferj.bsky.social

This dissociation highlights how nonverbal social cues shape both brain and emotional reactions to exclusion, emphasizing the complexity of social cognition. You can read the full paper here www.nature.com/articles/s41... Always happy to discuss or collaborate on these fascinating dynamics!
Our findings show that direct gaze amplifies neural signals related to expectation violations when excluded — suggesting it heightens sensitivity to social rejection cues. Meanwhile, averted gaze increased negative mood but lowered these brain responses.
If you're interested in this topic, I recently published a study exploring how direct vs. averted gaze changes brain responses during social exclusion, using EEG and the Cyberball paradigm.
Just wrapped up a lecture on how eye gaze modulates brain responses to social exclusion using eye-tracking! My students dug into related topics today — really proud of their work! Some of it even ties into my own research. Always open to collabs! #Empathy #EyeTracking #Exclusion #attachment #culture
IGOR Symposium
Fri, 20.06, 10:30-12:00 📍 Audimax
Topic: Open Science initiatives in biopsychological research ♻️🧠
With @ocklenburg.bsky.social C. Artemenko @mariame.bsky.social @alinakoppold.bsky.social @caggursoy.bsky.social @ufangyang.bsky.social @mreutter.bsky.social @mklingelhoeferj.bsky.social
Are you a DGPA member conducting outstanding research in biopsychology, psychophysiology, or neuroscience? Don’t miss the opportunity—apply now for the 2025 Early Career Award! @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social
Very looking forward to it!
Come and Join our symposium
I haven’t been there for all 10, but since joining during the COVID years, @improvingpsych.org has meant a lot - great researchers trying to make research better, together.
Grateful to be part of it. Happy 10th anniversary, #SIPS 🎂🥳
See you at online SIPS today—and in person in Budapest! #2025SIPS

Have you tried ARIADNE yet? ✨ It's a tool with curated research resources to help you out!
Our new paper is out in Scientific Reports @springernature.com ✨
We studied how #gaze direction shapes social exclusion using #EEG (P3) + self-report in Cyberball.
➡️ Direct gaze heightened neural responses to exclusion (↑ P3 amplitude)
➡️ Averted gaze increased negative mood
