Don't like the research method, but found something else: there were over 46% hispanic in this sample (sample were incarcerated men in state prisons) and only 31% caucasians. This is fucked up.

I have seen multiple case studies on ChatGPT and other LLM chatbots induced psychosis recently. I'm wondering if these bots are too realistic, so that people who have a less integrated sense of reality would easily believe it's real, and this author may be a milder case on the spectrum...

Found an old article written by "Leon", a child from a case study of Edna O’Shaughnessy. A healthy child went through a very delusional practice, reminded me of the Rosenhan experiment. I'm so glad that modern psychology has come so far from these practices. aeon.co/essays/my-di...

I presented my first poster in the Neuroscience Research Day 2026! While I was preparing it, I discovered a new type of poster design by @mikemorrison.bsky.social. I didn't like it at first, but then was intrigued on its ability to generate more interaction. Results? I was talking the whole hour!

"Not fitting in is somewhat a fact of life for me." Yep, Dr. Marsha Linehan is autistic, had CPTSD with dissociative symptoms. Not BPD, DID or psychotic disorders

The Suicide Prevention Research Lab at UMass Amherst is hiring! We are looking for a lab manager to help grow our new lab with a start date of summer 2026. Share and apply! careers.umass.edu/jobs/technic...

So much hate and justified cruelty everywhere on internet, even here.

Forgot to say that these have nothing to do with Buddhism. These were naturally developed in China from the cavemen time. Buddhism came to China at least 700 years later after the born of this system and the first text of the 12 zodiac signs. Buddhism was not popular in China in most of our history.

Happy Chinese New Year! 2026 is the year of horse. 🐎 The 12 Chinese zodiac signs are just a simple visual representation for part of the large Chinese calendar system. The 12 animals represents 12 地支 (dì zhī), combined with 10 天干 (tiān gān, numbers), years are indexed as a sexagenary cycle system.

94% of the case involved injury, 4%malfunction, and 1% death. Common symptoms: anxiety (8.2%), neurocognitive changes (8.0%), seizures (6.9%), headache (6.9%), and tinnitus (5.6%). 46% from Neuronetics. Median reporting delay was 1.4 months, but some > 6 years. www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/postmark...

I’ve been living and studying with college students 10+ yrs younger than me for 3 years. Sometimes I find myself to be surprised or even frustrated at their behaviors, then I realized that I actually forgot about how much younger they are than me.

My lab at UW Madison is hiring a new lab manager! I’m looking for a motivated and detail-oriented person to help run the lab’s day-to-day, including our ongoing neuroimaging and behavioral studies. This is especially well suited for graduating undergrads thinking about grad school. Link below

“Scholarly attention has rightly focused on the forced reproduction of enslaved Black women, but that focus need not come at the expense of understanding the position of enslaved Black men, who were also denied sexual autonomy, including the ability to choose with whom they would have children.”

Recently I began to write an essay for my trauma course, so I re-read Marsha Linehand's memoir. Of course, now we know that her BPD may be C-PTSD. Another thing I discovered is that the few childhood stories she disclosed seem to paint a picture of a smart extroverted neurodivergent girl:

Stop putting this child onto media anymore and get some mental health professionals to help his trauma. I can't believe people hope this kid to be on a huge entertainment show after he just went through a horrible traumatic event.

I will not be surprised if there is a surge of suicide in adolescents in Alberta later.

Is that why my 13 years account got permanently banned today? As someone from China, this whole thing feels too familiar to me. Also, ALL of your internet accounts will be immediately associated and monitored if U.S. gov wants to, because 99% of our devices are from American companies.

The more I use R, the more marvelled I am at its ability. I can't go back to Python anymore. I've tasted the good life...Nooooooo...

I really hated my last term's course, because it required us to write an experiment report (a 6-page paper) every week. However, I am very glad that I pushed it through, because now I no longer feel overwhelmed by writing. I've finished 3 abstracts and a funding application in the past one month!

Fuck, many kids will die. There is no treatment for measles...Murders

It is moments like this that help me understand the deep connection between pessimism and Buddhism. Life is suffering and we should strive to achieve enlightenment, but at the same time we still need to practice love and kindness and to stop creating more suffering in the world. Thank you, sanga.

I am surprised to find that lots of good profs' ratings on RateMyProf are very low. It seems to always due to the course has dense contents and is not "fun". Learning, as a dopamine-assist process, should be fun itself. The constant high stimulation on the brain today has concerning effects.

Been reading Irvin Yalom's Existential Psychotherapy lately. Some initial thought: 1. Damn good writing 2. Textbooks on older theories and practices are vastly oversimplified and stripped off their rich contexts 3. Americans are lack of philosophical basis for this therapy, but this may be changing

A good video to demonstrate Hebbian theory if any profs wish to add something interesting to their course: a defected emu with splayed legs was hatched and declared non-viable, but the bird rescuer accidentally corrected it by adding fixtures to force the legs move closely: youtu.be/GnaBXm7ilnM?...

‪I might found the new "blue-black or white-gold dress" problem: What's the color of this belt?

I don’t know why, but my brain seems to be built for studying psychology. After I read a psychology textbook, all the knowledges will be stored in my LTM in an organized system. The psychopathologies-related knowledges are especially robust. This made me very skilled at giving psychoeducations!

Data poem: Air Real time air quality index from the world’s 100 largest cities. I had to look up Riyadh and Beijing to make sure the numbers were right, I was sure I had accidentally multiplied something.

One with a master’s degree can be a registered psychologist in Ontario soon, like what Alberta is doing?

Happy Winter Solstice! Winter Solstice is one of the most important festivals in China. In the northern China, we eat dumplings to celebrate this day, because they have a shape that looks like ears, and this is said to prevent the cold weather to freeze our ears off!

Hear me out: Dollarama’s new Christmas cat wand toy! It’s so cheap, but its design hits all the right spot: jingly, shiny, FEATHER, long elastic thread, size long enough to be a kicker for those who love to kill…It instantly became Luna’s new favorite! And the feathers survived her murder bites!

I did an oral presentation today at St-Joseph's Hospital Joint Mental Health Research and Innovation Day about the pain and visual working memory study on which I have been working with @phivph.com. This was my first time presenting in a conference! Abstract can be found: heyzine.com/flip-book/ab...

I was searching about psychophysics function and found that McGill's COMP 546 Computational Perception opened its course materials: cim.mcgill.ca/~langer/546....

Since August, I’ve been having serious disc herniation that put me in bed for the past two months. During this time, I learned about two new promising treatmnets for chronic pain, one is called emotional awareness and expression therapy (EAET) and the other is called pain reprocessing therapy (PRT).

I’m blown away by this book! Too bad that I need to return it to the library soon. Come on my secret Santa…$140 you can do it….😂😂

Interesting...This is definitely not something a narcolepsy patient has subjectively experienced. I wonder if the pattern will be different. If the brain is activated from front to back, then we should be able to move our body when waking up, but it's not the case. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Did you know that your personality isn't set in stone? You can intentionally shape your traits to align with life you want. I spoke with 🌞 @CBSSunday Morning's Susan Spencer on the science of personality change and you can watch the segment right here: www.cbsnews.com/news/the-sci...

Lately I've gotten hooked on computational neuroscience and found out there is a subdomain called computational psychiatry. There are quite a few resources. One is the Neuromatch Academy's summer school, where they have opened their workshop videos: compneuro.neuromatch.io (1/2)

I find that building patient communities is quite important to clinical research. But it seems that most psychologists are reluctant to do so comparing to medical researchers. Is there a reason behind that?

5000 data! Open data makes research like this possible! I feel excited but a bit jealous. When can our field have 5000 data for me to analyze 😆 www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/fou...

Tuesday July 22, Dr. Erik H. Middlebrooks from the @mayoclinic.org will be giving a seminar entitled "Clinical Applications of 7T MRI in Neuroimaging" at University Hospital.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

The NIH plans to resume posting notices of new solicitations for grant proposals. But there’s a catch: The HHS and DOGE will review each draft notice to ensure the research that will be funded aligns with the priorities of President Trump’s administration, Science has learned. scim.ag/3DJsafL
