Exceptional keynote from the legendary Dr. Michelle Craske🌟She highlighted her ongoing work on mechanistic insights into threat and reward systems, which continues to be instrumental for advancing precise & effective interventions for depression and anxiety #2025SPR

Research by Kreshnik Burani demonstrated that individuals with Social Anxiety Disorder continue selecting the same option even while losing, showing potential deficits in learning from losses compared to healthy control participants. #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Inspiring talk provided by Dr. Theresa Pauly about adaptive and maladaptive physiological co-regulation in romantic relationships using inter-beat interval and skin conductance level at #2025SPR! 🫂@therealspr.bsky.social
A really interesting closing talk on behalf of Linhao Zhang showed that sleep duration and physiological regulation (RSA) jointly predict teen mental health💤 Among teens with higher RSA, shorter sleep duration was linked to greater internalizing problems.

Sofia Cardenas presented fascinating work on sleep & brain connectivity in first time fathers 🧠 Poorer sleep quality & changes in testosterone after birth were linked to differences in white matter organization in regions important for cognition and emotion processing
#2025SPR
Kicking off an interesting symposium on sleep and physiology: Emily Cardenas shared fascinating work on the peripartum period, showing that in women with a more reduced reward response (RewP) sleep problems were more strongly linked to depressive symptoms 💤 #2025SPR

The #2025SPR President's Symposium on Diversity, Equity, and Representation featured some fantastic discussions of necessary considerations and improvements to be made in our research approaches! @therealspr.bsky.social
#2025SPR Dr. Daniel Bradford accepted his early career award from 2024 and presented his work on alcohol effects on neural activity and startle response. 🧠🍺⚡ @therealspr.bsky.social
At #2025SPR, @yannikstegmann.bsky.social’s insightful talk on attentive immobility shared that heightened arousal and increased alpha suppression when anticipating threat avoidance only benefit the motor response but not memory encoding. @therealspr.bsky.social
SFFTs and wavelets and SpecParam (oh my!) at "Advances in the Analysis of Oscillatory Brain Activity" at #2025SPR this afternoon. Always great to learn more about EEG in the frequency domain! @therealspr.bsky.social
Work by Xin Hu and Lauren Bylsma demonstrates combining self-report EMA and passive psychophysiological measures improves prediction of active SI in adults with ASD. #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Roslyn Harold examined the interplay between the ERN, neuroticism, and internalizing symptoms! They found the moderating effect of ERN on the relation between trait neuroticism and ill temper symptoms is generalizable across task and quantification method! Great talk! #2025SPR
Bohyun “Gemma” Park took a multiverse approach to examine performance monitoring with ERP-behavior relationships. She found these relationships vary across tasks. Moving forward, it’s important to consider task-specific effects. Great work! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Kaylie Carbine conducted a multiverse analysis on the relationship between inhibitory control and caloric and carbohydrate intake! She found that N2 and P3 indices of inhibitory control may not be the best predictors of caloric intake. Great talk! #2025SPR @therealspd.bsky.social
Hannes Carsten conducted a forking paths analysis to examine the impact of analytical decisions on the association of depressive symptomatology and the RewP! Results were highly sensitive to analytical decisions. Great work! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Francesco Versace discusses how optimizing artifact rejection can increase data quality and power to detect effects using the LPP as an example. Great talk! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Check out this symposium discussing applied examples of multiverse analysis in psychophysiological research co-chaired by Peter Clayson and Michael Larson! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social

Stop by the SPR Video Booth (In front of the Elevators, 8th Floor) to film a 60–90 second spotlight on your research. Open to all attendees! #2025SPR
Very interesting talk presented by Dr. Bartholow at #2025SPR! He showed how low alcohol sensitivity can be a risk factor for alcohol use disorder and is related to incentive salience susceptibility, indicating how neurophys can be used to understand alcohol use. @therealspr.bsky.social
Darcianne K. Watanabe had a great talk at #2025SPR showing differences in heart rate variability and emotion regulation abilities in different ethnic groups! She also explained her sociocultural neurovisceral model of a potential mechanism for these differences. @therealspr.bsky.social
Danielle Jones presents the predicted residual method for calculating intraindividual variability in neural responses across trials, which also accounts for individual variance in performance measures. #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Dr. Rosenberg examined whether mental health coaching would improve efficacy of TMS for major depression! He found that even though the coaching programs did not differ, they both were associated with greater symptom reduction versus a Benchmarking sample! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social
Dr. Wen examined brain network connectivity across depression and anxiety! When Default Mode Network connectivity was high, there was a decline in general distress but an increase in distress when connectivity was low. It didn’t predict fears or anhedonia-apprehension. Great talk #2025SPR
Check out this symposium illustrating advancements in using brain-based methods to better understand and treat depressive disorders co-chaired by Alainna Wen and Benjamin Rosenberg with featured discussant Diego Pizzagalli! 🧠 @therealspr.bsky.social #2025SPR
Fascinating to see how blunted reward learning appears across those with depression, in remission, and even at family risk. Dr. Pizzagalli’s work highlights how reward-related markers may help match patients to the most effective treatment, like bupropion vs. sertraline. #2025SPR
Such an incredible and inspiring keynote by Dr. Diego Pizzagalli at #2025SPR 🧠 He shared decades of translational, multi-method work on anhedonia and reward learning, illustrating how neuroscience can meaningfully inform clinical understanding of treatment for depression @therealspr.bsky.social
At the #2025SPR Big Idea symposium on causal inference in psychophysiological research, Drs. Harald Schupp, Vaughn Steele, Eric Rawls, Lisa McTeague, and Travis Baker discussed best practices for individualizing psychophysiological treatment! @therealspr.bsky.social
