Presenting and discussing our CODEC project at #saa2025 @ambulatory-assessment.org in beautiful #Leuven

It was super fun to showcase and discuss some of the first results from our CODEC project with attendees at the #wearables #biomarkers symposium yesterday!

Are you an international early career scholar considering spending time in the Netherlands? We likely have capacity to host a Marie Curie Fellow if you are interested. Our lab (lifespancognitivedynamics.com) works on modeling cognitive change in early or later life, at short and long timescales.

A pleasant surprise this morning to hear that I am one of the 2025 @fluxsociety.bsky.social Travel Award recipients. Very much looking forward to the conference this September in Dublin, where I will present the first batch of results from our CODEC study (doi.org/10.1186/s403...)

Looking forward to showcase the first results of our CODEC project on all things EMA measurement of cognitive variability in children @saa2025leuven.bsky.social @ambulatory-assessment.org I'll present during poster session 1 on May 26th!

Are you doing EMA research and wonder how to go about it? In recent work we've adressed some open questions and challenges, here is a brief summary of papers and materials. 🧵 #PsychSciSky 🧪 #StatsSky

Beautiful scenery last weekend during the #sallandtrail 50 miler #ultramarathon result: 07:48:02, 6th overall! Pretty stoked about it!

our R package github.com/njudd/ggrain just hit 30K downloads, very happy to see the uptake and its utility in the scientific community over the past two years @njudd.com @rogierk.bsky.social @micahgallen.com

1/3 Tutorial on exploring ecological momentary assessment data is online at AMPPS, with: - Accessible ways to visualize data for better understanding - Models to get some first insights - Further reading boxes for more advanced topics - Reproducible pipeline you can run over your own data

I highly recommend the eScience fellowship - it has put me in touch with some very cool (& inspiring) people in the Open Software space!

Surfing when #sharks patrol these waters? A new counter illumination set-up protects form shark bites. Cool new field study by Laura Ryan and team in CB! 🧪 www.cell.com/current-biol...

honestly Current Biology has been the best place for me to get inspired. Badass, high quality science of all disciplines

The Raincloud Quartet (new pre-print) All N = 111, M = 0.04, SD = 0.27. One-sided t-tests vs. 0 yield: t(110) = 1.67, p = .049. Only raincloud plots reveal the qualitative differences, preventing the drawing of inappropriate conclusions. How did we create the quartet? Where are data & code? 🧵👇

The first vacancy of our longitudinal Wellcome Discovery Award project is up! Work with @sjblakemore.bsky.social (and the rest of the team) in Cambridge www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49291/ #PsychSciSky

Looking for pointers on a publicly available longitudinal dataset with the following characteristics: 4 waves (or more), 4 cognitive domains/constructs/tests (or more), easy to access (no multimonth legal wrangling), N>100. Concrete suggestions much appreciated! #PsychSciSky

1/3 From now on its easy to import and analyze #ESM / #EMA m-Path data in R! Lara Navarrete and Koen Niemeijer created an amazing R package to: - Import m-Path data in R - Preprocess - Check participant response behavior - Transform variables - Analyze - Link data with other #ESM/#EMA R packages

what a great tutorial Vincent, thanks from me and all the raincloud plot authors!

Don´t plot means & confidence intervals alone; your data is more than that! With easy raincloud plots in JASP you get the full picture and can draw better conclusions. #stats #PsychSciSky 🧪 #dataviz

Hot off the press, my latest paper with @rogierk.bsky.social

The study used a simple age stereotype to show that interacting with others from a young age teaches us how to quickly overcome stereotypes. Big thanks to Saskia Koch (not on Twitter) for leading this work. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We had a blast working with @louischarron.bsky.social‬ and his team, who produced this incredible video showcasing our latest study 🎥 Stereotypes often fail to capture a person’s actual qualities. So, what helps us move beyond them in social interactions? www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjdU...

Before summer, we went on a multiday writing retreat with the whole lab! It was both fun and productive (blog below). Have you gone on lab retreats? We'd love to hear your experiences, activities & ideas to make it even better next time lifespancognitivedynamics.com/posts/2024-1... #psychscisky

I'm on the look-out for (preferably free) digital spatial tasks for children 5-7 years (for training or not). In particular spatial memory (e.g., Corsi), spatial attention, and spatial visualisation, but open to other suggestions. If you know of any and are happy to share, please reach out! Thanks!

Today we had the first get together of REMAC (Radboud Ecological Momentary Assessment Centre), bringing together scientists across campus/Donders Institute interested in ema/esm/wearables. Topics ranged from mental health to dementia to motion sensors and passive smartphone measurements - exciting!

New paper claxon 🚨🔊! Led by Jessica Schaaf, with McCormick, @osorensen.bsky.social & @maristodemou.bsky.social, it reflects our multiyear unease with symmetric dynamic model parameters. Gather round the 🔥 for a 🧵 geeking out on intensive longitudinal data osf.io/preprints/os... #PsychSciSky

This is the recording of my June 2024 keynote at the DPK congress, entitled "Embracing complexity: studying mental health problems as systems, not syndromes". They made a nice recording & allowed me to share it. Thanks a ton, DPK organizers 🖤. 🧪 #stats #psychscisky www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1cR...

🚨Sharing a crowdsourcing project as a preprint about good and bad practices in statistical modelling from the LCD lab!! osf.io/preprints/ps... Getting into statistical modelling is never easy and the lack of knowledge can result in some common pitfalls that reduce the quality of the models.

Postdoc Job vacancy alert! We're looking for someone with interest & experience in large developmental cohorts, cognition & the brain to coordinate the CODEC project (www.codecstudie.nl/ ). More about the the lab lifespancognitivedynamics.com job link www.radboudumc.nl/en/vacancies....

We're organizing a labmeeting on how to write a (job) cover letter - I have strong opinions but am also pretty sure they are idiosyncratic and shaped by my experiences and preferences. So, what do you think separates a good from a less good letter? What do you differently now than in the past?

I'm giving a talk on the value of open research software & tools - Both its pivotal importance for science, its fragility (e.g. the low bus factor) and its systematic underrecognition/undervaluation. Any examples that spring to mind to widen my view very welcome! #openscience #opensource #software
