🚨To celebrate #WorldMentalHealthDay, our October issue includes a Focus that examines the advances in computational psychiatry and the challenges of developing computational models to address mental health disorders. #mentalhealthresearch #Psychiatry ➡️ nature.com/collections/... 🧵(1/8)

🚨 New findings from a study led by Juliana Olah! Our recent study highlights the potential of 5-minute remote speech assessments to accurately diagnose complex mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and MDD. 🧠💬 1/3 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Reinforcement Learning and Active Inference are two frameworks used in computational psychiatry, but these are rarely directly compared empirically. In this new article, we aimed to compare these in a more systematic manner by fitting each to multiple datasets: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Synthetic ecosystems that autonomously and continuously evolve in silico 👾 An Alifer dream we pursue with Flow-Lenia, a mass-conservative continuous CA ! If you are interested in complex systems with (1) emergent creatures and (2) intrinsic evolutionary dynamics, go check our new paper ! A 🧵

When we started this work in the pandemic, I never imagined we’d progress to a clinical trial. Amazing work from @juliasheffield.bsky.social Priors on volatility change with symptom improvement in a clinical trial! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Les visas des chercheurs, des universitaires et des étudiants pour les Etats-Unis ne seront pas accordés à celles et ceux qui ont exprimé de l'hostilité au régime autoritaire de Trump. Ces refus de visa se feront par analyse des posts sur les réseaux sociaux. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/u...

Very excited to share our new paper available open-access via @dpn_journal! We evaluated objected features derived from automated speech and language processing as markers of #psychosis symptoms over time. 1/6 rdcu.be/erkV0

New in Nature MentalHealth! with Vrizzi, Najar, Lemogne, and @mael-lebreton.bsky.social We tested whether behavioural and RL-based model parameters are test-retest reliable and predict mental health traits. The result? Not really. A cautionary tale for comp. psychiatry doi.org/10.1038/s442...

Why use our new library of 300+ art images for your experiment? 🌍 Intentionally inclusive of non-Western art 😀😵‍💫😢 Normed for 11 emotional states each 📊 Interactive data viz for stimulus selection Got questions? Let us know! doi.org/10.1037/aca0...

Excited to share our preprint: "Recasting adaptation as strategy inference". This work explores how humans spontaneously adapt to changes by inferring strategies, rather than relying on incremental learning.@philippedomenech.bsky.social @khamascience.bsky.social @computationalbrain.bsky.social 🧠🟦 🧠🤖

Finalement, les physiciens qui ont théorisé le concept de multivers avaient raison : il y a l’univers, le nôtre, et d’autres où se déroulent de tout autres histoires. Mais ce qu’ils n’avaient pas envisagé, c’est que ces univers parallèles aient des porte-paroles puissants à l’intérieur du nôtre…

Selected for @apapsychiatric.bsky.social Young Psychiatrist Researcher Colloquium ! Curiosity first in these days 👊

King's College London launches the Atlas of Longitudinal Datasets, in partnership with @wellcometrust.bsky.social / @mqmentalhealth.bsky.social, a free platform with over 1,600 datasets, to support mental health research worldwide. 🌍 Read more and learn how to access: www.kcl.ac.uk/news/kings-l...

We value things differently depending on the situation. A fascinating paper shows that the hippocampus feeds contextual information to the prefrontal cortex by altering theta wave phase alignment, enabling the PFC to adjust value judgments accordingly. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience

🌟 Whether you’re a new student, lab leader or decision-maker at an institutional level, you can now find free tools and guidance all in one place. Our Learning Resources page launched in October thanks to insights from eLife Ambassadors. #12DaysOfeLife https://buff.ly/4f8vIpk

💥 Some POST DOC JOB news 👀... I'm very happy to say that @melgaby.bsky.social, @mattnour.bsky.social, @mariaeckstein.bsky.social and I have been awarded funding from @wellcometrust.bsky.social to look at how planning 📝and mental models of the world 🌍 are affected by psychosis...

I've been asked to run a career workshop locally, so it would be nice to have more examples of how luck plays a big role in academia

I attended the first edition of Foraging and Information Seeking Conference @Lyon. Surprising, impressed by the quality of the talks and the curiosity of all the attendees. Presented the beginning of my PhD work on the way we produce creative ideas on top of it! #ForagingConference

Join us for the Computational Psychiatry Conference cpconf.org July 14-16 2025 in beautiful Tübingen, Germany. Proposals for symposia can now be submitted. Each symposium should have 4 speakers, and we are looking for symposia across the range from basic to clinical and big data.

It is happening tomorrow 10am EST / 3pm GMT / 4pm CET: the launch of OCD & the brain with a big livestream event! Join us here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN1s... So excited that this co-produced project is finally seeing the light of day!
