Thrilled to share our newest publication on depressive symptoms and cognitive health in a racially diverse sample. We found a particularly harmful association between depressive symptoms and cognition in certain racial/ethnic groups!! #Episky

Picture of a participant wearing the NIRSsport fNIRS device (in backpack) while interacting (playing a cup game) with a dog.

Sneak peek of ongoing science in the lab. The team just finished collecting data for a project on mentalizing across agents and species. For this we brought a real dog into the lab! So much fun! #fNIRS @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social #human+ #neuroskyence

This looks AMAZING! I can't wait to read the paper!

OK so, I'm not totally crazy for associating you with animal research - haha!

Thanks a ton!

Hey Micah! Can you consider me if I’m not included already? I’m leading a huge fNIRS consortium here with regular videos of experts talks to share. I also have some of my own exciting results to post!

Watch Ian Cameron's presentation on our #NfC YouTube channel!

New paper from @beausievers.bsky.social & me, now out in SCAN! "Deep social neuroscience: The promise and peril of using artificial neural networks to study the social brain" Open access link🔓: doi.org/10.1093/scan...

It's out! 🤩 New paper led by my brilliant PhD student Christoph Löffler, in which we show that individual differences in executive functions (updating, inhibition, shifting) measure nothing but individual differences in the speed of information processing: doi.org/10.1007/s004...

MRI economics: Balancing sample size and scan duration in brain wide association studies bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

Comparison standards shape everyday judgments of low and high wellbeing in individuals with and without psychopathology: a diary-based investigation - Scientific Reports People can easily rate and express their current levels of wellbeing, but the cognitive foundations for such judgments are poorly understood. We examined whether comparisons to varying standards under...

Paper alert! How do we know how we're doing? We studied best/worst daily episodes in people w/wo psychopathology. Best episodes: downward+temporal comparisons. Worst episodes: upward+criteria-based comparisons. Patients: more comparison impact during worst episodes. #ClinPsych #CogSci #PsychSciSky

Ian Cameron (Donders Institute) presents on fNIRS ✴️🧠 and digital health twins! ⚕️ Description below.

I’ve worked in many countries and have many stories. For example: In a private meeting, a male supervisor once told me which female scientists I should dress like (dress shirts and trousers were ‘intimidating’) and encouraged me to bring homemade cakes to work like other women there did. Cakes! 🍰

I think probably the most interesting thing about these results are that they contribute to evidence that parcels are maybe reasonable units of measurement.

Also, do Bayesian hierarchical models, but better.

Global signal topography differs across age groups! Important implications for lifespan network neuroscience. direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

Groups who contributed to a public good synchronously were seen as have acted more cooperatively.

Thus, synchrony may act as a useful cue for predicting how cooperatively a group has acted or is likely to act. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

It’s ok! Autocorrect regularly renames me:-)

Hope to see you in Aachen on the 29th! 🧠

I’m looking forward to presenting! (It’s not spelled Daina Croft though…;-)

How wonderful that there’s an fNIRS feed! I think I’m already following it and will be happy to provide content!
