New evidence challenges a usual assumption of exposure therapy: instructed increases in fear activation during exposure did not enhance treatment outcomes for anxiety disorders (e.g., social anxiety/panic) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

When listening to a story, earlier parts of the story (context) and the speaker's gestures help us predict and understand what they are saying. In a new preprint we show context and gestures have a push-pull synergy on neural response to linguistic information 👇🧵

In the light of #worldbipolarday, Prof. Dr. Dr. Michael Bauer, the #sfbtrr393 local spokesperson at @tudresden.bsky.social was interviewed about current developments in #bipolardisorder research: www.uni-marburg.de/en/trr-393/n...

And here the poster!

If you are at #CNS2025, check out this brilliant poster #F98 from @edwardody.bsky.social @straubeb.bsky.social where we probed for action-specific "quasi-predictive" effect independent of probability-based expectations!

🚀 Excited to share our new preprint led by my brilliant colleague Anna Petukhova @tnm-lab.bsky.social! We used a drift-diffusion model to show how local semantic predictability rapidly enhances evidence accumulation during language processing. #priming #ddm #prediction 🔗 shorturl.at/lP10h
