Does anyone use the Spanish version of the RBANS ("Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status")? If you are able to send us an original form, we would be happy to compensate you for it.
How many versions of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) exist? And how much does this affect research using the IGT? More than you might think. 🧵
So excited to see this lovely paper with @benjyb.bsky.social, @matanmazor.bsky.social and @giuliacabbai.bsky.social published in @nconsc.bsky.social!

Big study (n = 1,000+) examining the similarities/differneces between intrusive mental imagery and hallucinations in non-clinical participants: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
From a team including Catherine Bortolon, one of the co-leads of ECHR (but who I don't think is on bluesky).
New paper from @georgiapunton.bsky.social's PhD. Sleep deprivation may increase risk of hallucinations through effects on intentional inhibition (ICIM performance) rather than performance of signal detection task performance.

Great qual paper on the Challenge RCT, which trialled VR-assisted relational therapy for distressing voices. Some interesting content about negative 'side effects' (i.e., very high levels of distress caused when continuing to attend despite what the voice wants): games.jmir.org/2025/1/e77920/
Paper on post-natal psychotic-like experiences in a reasonably large smaple (N = 346).
Almost certainly some useful data in here, but the data isn't open, so can't really tell.

** Recruiting a postdoc ** We are looking for a postdoc to work on emotion, mental health, and interoception, based in London at @ucl.ac.uk in my lab (Clinical and Affective Neuroscience). Part of a large Wellcome Grant (co-led with the brilliant @camillanord.bsky.social)
Big (N = 1,262) paper from Brazil on some wekanesses of the PANSS - www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Chimes with the findings of this - www.thelancet.com/journals/ecl... - meta-analysis, if I understand it right.
Secondary analysis of data from the Challenge AVATAR therapy RCT reports weak/not-quite-there links between treatment outcomes and characteristics of the avatar (how closely the avatar resembled the voice patientsexperienced and the subjective sense of presence in the virtual environment)...
"In cross-sectional analyses auditory hallucinations such as "hearing mean voices" was associated with a marked greater risk of SA (RRR = 66.15, 95% CI, 46.78-93.53) compared to youths without auditory hallucinations."
New paper using data from the Danish National Birth Cohort examined longitudinal association sbetween psychotic experiences and hospital contact relating to suicidal behaviour.

The absolute nonsense some people get up to in academia never fails to amaze me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Two mind-blowing things from @retractionwatch.com First this: bsky.app/profile/retr...
Bit off-topic (sort-of), but a great piece from Lizzie Gadd critiquing current systems of university-rankings: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Important paper form last year reporting a network analysis of associations between trauma types and psychotic symptoms in participants from East Africa. Exposure to a war zone was directly related to presence of visual halluciations: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Thanks for building such terrific resources! I attended a talk given by some people from your team a couple of years ago and it blew my mind it was so good. Really appreciate your organisation's work!
