🌟Happy to share our new paper by Kai Härpfer & me in Clinical Psychology Review. It presents an integrative model linking altered error-related brain activity to psychopathology, highlighting early shaping factors & catalysts that turn neural risk into symptoms. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We had a wonderful time at #SPR2025 @therealspr.bsky.social in Montreal. Inspiring talks & posters, and as always, a pleasure to catch up with friends and colleagues. I’m also very honoured to have been named an SPR Fellow – a recognition of my ongoing contributions to psychophysiology and SPR.

Had a great time today presenting data from the CoScience project at the #SPR2025 meeting @therealspr.bsky.social examining potential RewP blunting in subclinical depressive symptoms @anjariesel.bsky.social If you're interested in the project/ dataset check out www.coscience-personality.com

We mapped neural error processing across 7 major mental disorders using EEG data from over 10,000 participants. A transdiagnostic network meta-analysis with @hpcrstn.bsky.social, Kai Härpfer & Kaja B. Hansen. 📖 find the preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

✨ 🎬 “Psychophys Is” 2025 videos are lighting up the contest! This video was submitted by Hannes Per Carsten, Marina Dochtermann & @anjariesel.bsky.social. 🔗 Submit your video before October 1, 2025: sprweb.org/spr-video-co...

🚨 New preprint alert! Our project investigating the effects of internalizing and trait anxiety on learning under uncertainty is finally online 🐆🐅 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🌟 YAY! Congratulations to @kimsobania.bsky.social for winning the poster price for her work on fear and safety learning in OCD, at-risk participants and healthy controls at the European Meeting of Human Fear Conditioning. Funded by @rtg2753.bsky.social at @uni-hamburg.de, #emhfc2025 🌟

Had a fantastic time with more than 100 colleagues from across the world at the European Meeting for Human Fear Conditioning we organized in Egmond aan Zee. #emhfc2025

A new paper on neural error signals in OCD & anxiety, by Kai Härpfer, @hpcrstn.bsky.social, Franzi Kausche & @anjariesel.bsky.social. We explore how disorder type, transdiagnostic dimensions, clinical status & familial risk influence error signatures. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Here are some insights from our concept days @uni-hamburg.de. Together with therapists & researchers from our lab, we brainstormed new projects, discussed data, explored ways to improve connections & translation from research to therapy & back, enjoyed some table tennis, dancing, & great exchanges!

Exciting news! @kimsobania.bsky.social from our lab submitted her first first-author PhD paper on the neural correlates of fear learning in OCD and anxiety. Yay, congratulations! Check out the preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

(1/5) Poster (and Faces of the Future talks) and Big Idea symposia submissions for #2025SPR are now open!

come work with @stresscognition.bsky.social , @anjariesel.bsky.social , @nicoschuck.bsky.social @christianbuchel.bsky.social, @janhaaker.bsky.social as well as Tania Lincoln, Tobias Donner, Sarah Hohmann, Simone Kühn, Jürgen Gallinat and a bunch of brilliant students!

YAY! We are celebrating Kai‘s PhD! Congratulation Dr. Kai Härpfer on a fantastic dissertation and a stellar defense!

Curious about how altered fear & safety learning contribute to anxiety, OCD, and PTSD? Check out our new meta-analysis on startle response, self-report, and SCR in fear conditioning! Together with Franziska Kausche, @hpcrstn.bsky.social & Kim Sobania. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If that sounds interesting and you'd like to work in beautiful Hamburg as part of an interdisciplinary team, apply here and feel free to get in touch for more information. www.uni-hamburg.de/stellenangeb...

Here is an image film about the research training group on emotional learning and memory, focusing on translational research at the intersection of basic and clinical science.

We had a wonderful time at the #2024SPR annual meeting @therealspr.bsky.social! In addition to 4 great poster presentations, I was voted onto the board of directors, and @hpcrstn.bsky.social won a SciComm video award sprweb.org/page/Video_Con…

SPR received many terrific submissions to the first ever #2024SPR "Psychophys Is" video contest. Thank you to all who submitted. Congratulations to the contest winners!! #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

New preprint on intolerance of uncertainty and the error-related negativity: Together with Kai Härpfer, Marcelo Malbec, @mwieser.bsky.social and @anjariesel.bsky.social we investigated cross-sectional and longitudinal effects in a preregistered RCT (1/3) osf.io/preprints/ps...

We had a beautiful afternoon at the Elbe. Many thanks to this great team for their support in research, teaching, and therapy, and for all the laughs and chats in between! @unihh

We had a wonderful PUG 2024!

Happy to share a podcast with Martin from OCD Land! We discuss the research from our lab on error sensitivity in obsessive-compulsive disorder and how brain activity during error processing can help us understand the development of OCD. www.ocdland.com/podcast/30

Im Rahmen der Psychologie und Gehirn Tagung 2024 in Hamburg schreiben die bioDGPs sowie die DGPA drei Förderpreise für Wissenschaftskommunikation aus. Einreichungen könnt ihr bis zum 31. März 2024 per E-Mail an [email protected] senden. Mehr Infos folgen im🧵

🚨BREAKING 🚨 Abstract submission for the 2024 Psychology and Brain (PuG) conference is open (registration is expected to open next week) via pug2024.de. Deadline for symposia/panel discussions: 29.2, poster: 31.3. See you in Hamburg!

Wie hier in Hamburg demonstrieren deutschlandweit Menschen gegen Rechtsextremismus und die AFD. Wir sind mehr!

Illusory generalizability of clinical prediction models www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... - very important work showing poor generalizability of prediction models for schizophrenia

New paper out— registered report replicating our 2013 study on neural error signals' construct validity across tasks. Happy to contribute to this project led by Peter Clayson, Michal Larson and colleagues. doi.org/10.1111/psyp...

Open post-doc position in neuroimaging, pharmacology and dynamic learning! @christianbuchel.bsky.social & myself seek candidates for a 3-4 year post-doc that is available in early 2024. sites.google.com/view/systems... Feel free to contact me for more infos #neuroskyence #compneuro #neuroscience

Hello bluesky. We are happy to join this community. Our lab's research combines clinical approaches with neuroscientific and psychophysiological methods to investigate the mechanisms that lead to or are associated with OCD and anxiety disorders.
