After 5 years of data collection, our WARN-D machine learning competition to forecast depression onset is now LIVE! We hope many of you will participate—we have incredibly rich data. If you share a single thing of my lab this year, please make it this competition. eiko-fried.com/warn-d-machi...

This is a very important resource. Amazing work.

Our new paper "Inconsistent outcome measurement in depression psychotherapy trials: A systematic historical and meta-analytic review over the past 50 years" led by @antoniasprenger.bsky.social is out now in JAD. 🧪 #PsychSciSky www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New preregistered preprint by @emkbridger.bsky.social (w J Maltby, @danielnettle.bsky.social & @larsklintwall.bsky.social). We queried a UK-representative lay sample to rated perceived causal influence between 20 biopsychosocial causes linked to mental health & poverty. osf.io/preprints/ps...

CDS has been known for a while (although under the rather stigmatising term Sluggish Cognitive Tempo). It derives from research on ADHD and the new study lends further evidence for both syndromes being distinct from another.

“As a neuroscientist, do you think AI models will be able to achieve consciousness?” “Good question. Do you think they’ll ever achieve gloompfdewoompf?” “What? I don’t know what ‘gloompfdewoompf’ means. Is that even a real thing?” “Exactly.”

🚀 New paper (open access) out in Cognitive Therapy & Research: we (@herzog.bsky.social, @evalottabrakemeier.bsky.social, @hudsongolino.bsky.social and me) ask whether group‑level symptom‑change networks in CBT actually capture what happens inside each patient. #Psychology #CBT

I think about this diagram a lot. This is a *simplified* schematic of *some of* the brain regions and circuits involved in behavioral control. (From: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...)

Die "politische Mitte" - jeder will sie, alle beanspruchen sie. Aber was ist das eigentlich? Ein Thread über die ideologische Funktion eines der mächtigsten politischen Mythen unserer Zeit. 🧵 /1

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Should I unblock that one clown who said I was like the people 100+ years ago who were against cars and send this to him y/n

Ich wünsche euch allen, dass ihr mal so erfolgreich seid wie antifeministische Kampagnen in Deutschland.

Fazit der Sache Brosius-Gersdorf: Eine durch und durch bürgerliche Juristin, deren Ansichten sich am ehesten mit Positionen der FDP decken, wurde als Linksradikale denunziert. Diese Denunziation war nicht mehr aus der Welt zu schaffen. 1/5

Merz: "Germany represents just 2% of the problem in terms of climate emissions" Well, no

Here, @timbale.bsky.social does a great job spelling out why virtually every expert on the far right (that I have heard from) rejects “hard right” as terminology for these parties and their ideology. Editors should really stop this nonsense.

Kolumne: Die Welt verändert sich gerade in wachsendem Tempo, und zwar in beängstigender und rettender Weise gleichzeitig. Die Bundesregierung ignoriert beides aktiv. So schickt man Deutschland aufs Abstellgleis, nicht in eine erfolgreiche Zukunft.

The new book on feedback-informed psychotherapy, edited by @julianrubel.bsky.social and @wlutzpsyres.bsky.social, was recently published. Many renowned researchers in the field contributed, and it also includes a chapter in which we describe the Greifswald Psychotherapy Navigation System.

Du, Marina. Von wegen erinnern. Ich erinnere mich auch an was. Aus dem Jahr 2022.

"Wir hatten 1989 weltweit zwölf stark befestigte Grenzen. Jetzt sind es rund 80. Damals waren weltweit weniger als fünf Prozent aller Landesgrenzen durch Mauern und Stacheldraht gesichert. Heute sind es mehr als 20 Prozent." www.zeit.de/politik/2025...

This workshop is FREE btw

Traits they predict: slipped in there at the end of the list for "Neurological and mental health" is "intelligence". Just so you know. To be clear: PGD for nasty and often rare monogenic conditions can be really valuable and important. For highly polygenic traits, the efficacy is EXTREMELY unclear.

I’d like to take this one step further: poor communication & hype often already start in sci papers. “Because this study was only observational, no causal conclusions can be drawn” followed by a discussion of policy implications and theorizing based on a causal conclusion.

Adding a digital self-guided intervention to usual care decreased suicide attempts in BPD patients by 67% and reduced symptoms - great results!

You know we can use the domino meme to look forward in time too, right?

"Dysfunctional conscientiousness" - tell me you are anxious and perfectionistic without telling me you are anxious and perfectionistic. 😬

The reichest man on earth

BlueSky must have the juice if we’re getting weird drug misinformation now! Ketamine does not “share the same brain pathways as opioids” nor does it “interact with the opioid system,” and nobody who knows what they’re talking about talks like that. In case “according to the DEA” didn’t give it away…

What the actual fuck

After more than three years of hard work, it is finally happening - our indie game has a release date. It is about the historic prosecutor Fritz Bauer, who used the rule of law to bring Nazi perpetrators to justice in a society that wanted to forget their crimes.

Es ist kurz vor den Feiertagen und Georg ist wohl heute mit dem Gedanken aufgewacht "time to choose violence". Mein Eindruck ist eher, dass die Psychologie verkrampft empirisch sein will und sich weigert, andere Aspekte vernünftig zu integrieren. Denke da an Freunde, die qualitativ arbeiten.

The BBC is in civil war over Israel and Palestine. BBC journalists are in revolt over what they call "systematic Israeli propaganda" churned out by the Corporation. My exclusive investigative piece for @dropsitenews.com 👇 www.dropsitenews.com/p/bbc-civil-...

A note for the festive period. While "An Irish Goodbye" commonly means to leave with no notice, a true Irish Goodbye requires an announcement that you're leaving, an "I'm actually leaving now" round of goodbyes, and 40 minutes at the front door nursing your keys. Know your goodbyes. Choose wisely.

Wow. I’ve expressed concerns about Frontiers for a long time and won’t submit or review for them, but this suggests things are really bad.

“Bluesky is an echo chamber” Yes of course it is, I tailored it to my taste, interests, opinions, and community. I’m here to have a good time, not argue with strangers lmao

Just uploaded a new video that provides a brief introduction and overview of HiTOP! Tash did awesome work on this one too. Hope it can be useful for some of you - please do share it widely with anyone who you think might be able to use it: youtu.be/196rqdAv4_w

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝘂𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 If you are a statistician, teach statistics, or even just use statistics, this is a highly recommended read. What a horror story which probably most of us know little about. nautil.us/how-eugenics...

sorry but this place will NEVER replace Twitter. I posted something about confidence interval and all the engagement here was genuinely friendly, helpful and on topic 😤

Ah, eine kurze Diskussion meines Lieblings-bias. Musste klicken! Das ich einen Lieblings-bias habe, sagt möglicherweise bereits etwas viel über mich. Fehlt cute, might delete later.

Today being the anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition, on December 5, 1933, we pause to remember the particularly measured and balanced reaction of perhaps greatest judge of the 20th century, Judge Learned Hand, to Prohibition's end:

I am enjoying the atmosphere on Bluesky but can I say that, compared to Twitter, I would like to see more discussion of things like this as well? 🔽

South Koreans took to the streets in the 1980s to overturn the military leadership and install democracy. It worked, and they haven't forgotten.

Launched a new HiTOP YouTube channel to host some videos my RA Tash Turner-Cohen and I are working on. We've just posted the first one, which gives a brief overview of some of the limitations of the DSM: youtu.be/4Kwu_1oMD9U
