Differential amygdala reactivity in response to emotional facial expressions for female versus male youth with conduct problems with/without callous-unemotional traits pointing to distinct pathways: tinyurl.com/2e3x3t87

Higher emotional callousness found to be correlated with lower self-concept as depending on others as an individual, but not as a member of a group; boldness associated with an independent self perception: tinyurl.com/8dvfbrd5

Callous-unemotional traits positively correlated with attachment avoidance and negatively with attachment anxiety in justice involved youth, but emotion regulation or trauma exposure do not explain that association: tinyurl.com/y6a7yv8e

Confidence interval discussion time! The perfect opportunity to repost this blog post answering the question you haven’t dared to ask: www.the100.ci/2024/12/05/w...

Extensive examination of self and other-reported narcissistic, psychopathic and Machiavellian traits: higher correlation between self and other reports than expected but structural variance: tinyurl.com/4ce42nfy

Talente auf der Bühne, spannende Projekte, lebendiger internationaler Austausch und verborgene Talente: Rückblick auf die Forschungskommunikation 2025 u.a. mit @lingulist.de, @sherbold.bsky.social, @haeussler.bsky.social, @mgrani.bsky.social, @hedwigeisenbarth.bsky.social, @passaudpe.bsky.social:

Heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the widely used physiological measures in psychophysiological research. But with over 100 indices to choose from, how do we know which ones to use? In our latest paper, we take a data-driven approach to help answer this. doi.org/10.1111/psyp... 1/

Knock knock! A gentle reminder from your colleague in Australia! 🦘🦘🦘 We’re excited to see you in Brisbane next year, but don’t forget to submit your abstract/proposal before the deadline (Nov 21)! 👉 www.isre2026.org

Emotion recognition from music shown to be lower in 3-5 year olds with higher on callous-unemotional traits: tinyurl.com/2rx8jmh8

Important initiative 👇

Excited to see this collaborative work out, lead by Hannah Carr @ University of Southampton: she showed within the ABCD study that mild traumatic brain injury combined with conduct problems is related to higher left amygdala and hippocampus activity while receiving reward tinyurl.com/ms5bn73f

A resting state based neural activity map related to the "dark triad" - higher scores on all dark triad scales related to increased Central Executive Neural Network and decreased Default Mode Network activity: tinyurl.com/5f2hhuw6

Testing the linear association between adverse childhood experiences and externalising or internalising outcomes in a large youth cohort showed curvinear associations for recidivism and some internalising symptoms, and also expected gender differences: tinyurl.com/4fcr29ez

New study with women in prison showed both, hypoarousal and heightened threat reactivity: tinyurl.com/37wz2yx2 - we need to understand the emotional dysregulation in women high on psychopathy better.

Great times visiting Anna Weinberg’s lab at McGill and re-connecting with Mathieu Roy and fellow visiting Matthias Wieser

🚨 Come work with us! A 3-year postdoc position is available in my group, focusing on gaze interactions in real and virtual environments. The job ad is only in German, since a certain level of German proficiency is required. Please share widely! @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

We are about a month away from releasing a complete refresh of the OSF user interface. The team has been working on this for a very long time, and we are very excited to be able to share it soon. A preview picture:

New Open dataset alert: 🧠 Introducing "Spacetop" – a massive multimodal fMRI dataset that bridges naturalistic and experimental neuroscience! N = 101 x 6 hours each = 606 functional iso-hours combining movies, pain, faces, theory-of-mind and other cognitive tasks! 🧵below

“The goal of academic training is not to solve problems as efficiently and quickly as possible, but to develop skills for identifying and dealing with novel problems, which have never been solved before.”

In the age of short-form video on apps on our phones, are we now unable to focus on anything longer? It was a pleasure to talk with eminent science journalist Robyn Williams on the ABC's "Science Show" about attention in the modern age.
