thanks so much for hosting me, looking forward to sharing my work! 

We are proud to award $18M to four new Discovery Research teams exploring neuromodulation and brain circuits in #Bipolar 🧠📈 🔗bit.ly/48M1TKP 🎙️ Hear from Daniel Pham, PhD, and the teams about their innovative projects 👇

Thrilled to be part of this fantastic new project led by @ignaciosaezphd.bsky.social and supported by @bipolardiscoveries.org. Grateful to collaborate with an outstanding team — Dr. Helen Mayberg, Dr. James Murrough and others — and looking forward to the work ahead!

How mood states shift in the brain remains one of psychiatry’s biggest mysteries. With generous support from @bipolardiscoveries.org, our @sinaibrain.bsky.social team will apply cutting-edge techniques to map these transitions—aiming to build the most precise understanding of bipolar disorder yet.

PRESS RELEASE! @mountsinainyc.bsky.social receives $4.5 million @bipolardiscoveries.org grant! Led by @ignaciosaezphd.bsky.social, team will investigate neural mechanisms underlying #BipolarDisorder & pioneer novel neuromodulation-based treatment strategies 👉 www.mountsinai.org/about/newsro...

Must-read #NYBCI25 coverage by @neurotechnology.substack.com in @forbes.com. My key takeaway on cognitive BCI: Our biggest limiting factor isn't tech—it's fundamental scientific understanding. We can’t advance the tech until we define the disorder. Basic research must lead the way!

1/6 Excited to see our NMH paper featured here for #WorldMentalHealthDay! rdcu.be/dYl7T Many psychiatric symptoms are inherently social. @xiaosigu.bsky.social, @joebarnby.com, & I call for cognitive models that reflect processes most relevant to our questions, esp. for those about social symptoms🧵

2/6 Symptoms like social avoidance, mistrust, callousness, and paranoia are about other people. Yet many current models are based on non-social tasks, risking the loss of key features needed to understand how people actually reason about others.

3/6 We propose building models that explicitly capture social cognition (such as inferring others' beliefs, emotions, and intentions) along with contextual factors like fairness norms or controllability, while also incorporating domain-general processes like attention biases or prediction errors.

4/6 This is also not about committing to specialized neural function or architecture. It is more about building/testing theory-driven computational models that capture social cognitive processes when our questions are about socially-relevant symptoms.

5/6 We also advocate for more rigorous task designs: including non-social controls, considering whether tasks really require social cognition, and using ecologically valid interactions to bridge findings in the laboratory with real-world social experiences.

6/6 The goal is to strengthen the computational psychiatry's capacity to address the social aspects of mental health -- ideally leading to better explanations, predictions, & interventions with regards to the interpersonal facets of psychiatric disorders.
