If you'd like to understand more about the recent phenomenon dubbed "AI/chatbot psychosis" by the media, you could do far worse than listen to @theguardian.com's Science Weekly Podcast where I explain what it is, why it happens, and what we can do about it www.theguardian.com/science/audi...

I must confess, the reason I rarely use this platform is that almost every time I try to share a link via the app, I receive some sort of error message

Now is the time! Early bird rates end on 1st September, so don't delay signing up for the Gaming the Mind Conference 2025! Will we see you there? Monday 29th September at the Royal College of Psychiatrists in London. Details below!

Do you have kids with ADHD traits who'd like to participate in a study on the effects of exercise gaming on self-regulation skills? Join this study by our friends at BREAD Lab and you can advance scientific knowledge, and get £40 for your time! More details below. See thread for links!

New preprint: "Delusions by design? How everyday AIs might be fuelling psychosis (and what can be done about it)" osf.io/preprints/ps... substack.com/@drtompollak @hamiltonmorrin.bsky.social @aldersonday.bsky.social

1/ 🧵 New preprint out now: "Delusions by Design? How Everyday AIs Might Be Fuelling Psychosis (and What Can Be Done About It)" We explore how LLMs may shape thinking in people vulnerable to psychosis, for better or worse. 📄 osf.io/preprints/ps...

novel neurocomputational model illustrates a putative pathogenesis of disorders related to sequelae of traumatic stress inc. PTSD and CPTSD with focus on: *biopsychosocial dynamics relevant to diagnosis & treatment *unimpaired vs. impaired neuromodulation, attention, perception, memory & sleep 🧠📈 🧪

Yesterday I gave a different kind of talk. I was delighted to be invited to spend the morning with the Year 4 students at King Solomon Academy to discuss careers in psychiatry 👨‍🎓

Trying something new by running a 10k next month. Feel free to sponsor me as I raise money for @cancerresearchuk.org 🙏 www.winterrun.co.uk/s/64786/8726...

I've put together a starter pack for the FND science community. Please repost to share the link and do let me know of folks I've missed so I can add them to the group. Thanks everyone 🙏 🧵 1/

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots. To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Have updated this neuropsychiatry starter pack - let me know good accounts to add! go.bsky.app/VH9yDTA

Last day of #MCMComicCon! We're here with the Reset Room, a chill space to take a break! We have lo-fi activities to unwind with, and we've got mental health info available, too. It's staffed by our awesome crew, so do say hello! 🧠🎮 Find us next to the queue hall entrance!

For all my friends who just got here to BlueSky and want some cool people to follow, I've now delved into the wonderful world of Starter Packs (full list at blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...). Here's a thread of some of the cool ones I found!

One way we know Bluesky has the juice is because the starter packs used to be super generic like “Environmentalists 😀” and now they are super specific like “North Atlantic salmonid fisheries scientists whose names start with T-Z” and they have the full 150 people in them

This is going around again! Clearly it's time to resurrect this which I made for twitter back when it was less evil. Types of Psych Papers [Note: it is slightly more cynical (for humour value) than I actually am]

As always, we had a fantastic time speaking to the NFTS Games students on the topic of Mental Health and Games, and seeing their exciting projects! 🎮🧠 Especially pleased that several students found the talk helpful for their dissertations and that it sparked lively discussion 🙏
