CPC 2026 kicks off at Yale this week! Proud that my PhD student Onjoli Krywiak (co-supervised with Dr. Sakina Rizvi) is presenting her work on gamified social learning tasks as behavioural markers of suicidal ideation. Poster A43, Day 1: Tues July 14, 9AM. #CompPsych #CPC2026

We're so proud of this one - great to see it out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social now! See Johannes' threads for what we did & found. Excited to be using TUS and what it will teach us about the neural basis of affective cognition ✨

Very happy our first paper using ultrasound stimulation (TUS) to stimulate the human amygdala (BLA) got out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social today! 🎉🥳🔊Great FUN with co-first authors @mirunmigyu.bsky.social @lilweb.bsky.social in @mkflugge.bsky.social 's lab! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Still riding the energy from an amazing ACNP meeting 🌊 #ACNP2026 So grateful for the Travel Award, a fantastic symposium, and the chance to meet so many thoughtful, inspiring people while discussing the frontiers of neuropsychopharmacology. Thank you, ACNP 💙

We’re bringing computational psychiatry to #ACNP2026 Our panel shows how RL, DDMs, active inference, and neural models can unpack symptom heterogeneity across anxiety, psychosis, ADHD, depression, and suicide risk-moving beyond diagnoses to mechanisms. @acnporg.bsky.social #ComputationalPsychiatry

Across talks, the emphasis is on mechanism-based phenotyping: parsing heterogeneity within tasks, across task batteries, and over time, rather than relying on static group comparisons.

We showcase computational approaches—reinforcement learning, diffusion decision models, active inference, and neural modeling—to dissect avoidance, rigidity, learning, and control across anxiety, psychosis, ADHD, depression, and suicide risk.

Highlights include: • Mechanistic dissociation of maladaptive avoidance and well-being • Reliable task-based markers linked to HiTOP traits and suicide capability • Joint brain–behavior modeling of evidence accumulation in psychosis • Gamified platforms capturing adaptive control and rigidity

At #ACNP2026, our panel tackles a core challenge in psychiatry: symptom heterogeneity. How do we move beyond diagnostic averages to mechanisms that explain why symptoms differ across individuals?

🚀 Excited to announce that I'm looking for people (PhD/Postdoc) to join my Cognitive Modelling group @uniosnabrueck.bsky.social. If you want to join a genuinely curious, welcoming and inclusive community of Coxis, apply here: tinyurl.com/coxijobs Please RT - deadline is Jan 4‼️

In other news, I am now a ✨ COXI ✨ (cognitive scientist in Osnabrück, Germany) www.uni-osnabrueck.de/en/campus-li... I'll be looking for PhD students & postdocs later this year, so watch this space if combining cognitive modelling, EEG & tFUS to study flexible cognition sounds exciting to you 🚀

At #CPconf2025 we introduce a tool that translates effect sizes into clinical prediction metrics. It shows why small effects often fail in practice and highlights the need for better measurement reliability and stronger predictors. Poster 1.15

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! 🤓

Of all the interesting subjects one can study! This starter pack sounds amazing: “Researchers applying computational modeling to psychiatry” Can’t wait to have a lot of new input in my feed. go.bsky.app/5PTy9Zj

Really enjoyed presenting in this symposium! I loved hearing about different applications of Active Inference to address core questions in psychiatry.

Great panel discussion on the clinical utility of computational models.

Sneak peak from #HBHLSymposium2025 📸 Experts from @mcgill.ca, CAMH & WesternU explored the future of computational neuroscience in a fascinating session on #AI, #cognition, brain networks & #mentalhealth research! 🧠 @paulmasset.bsky.social @cognemo.bsky.social @tyrellturing.bsky.social

The CogNeMo Lab is presenting at #SOBP2025 in Toronto! Can a game predict fearlessness of death? We show that a gamified social cognition task reveals digital behavioral markers of suicide capability. Join Oral Sessions I on Thursday/Apr24 to learn more.
