We had a wonderful time at #SPR2025 @therealspr.bsky.social in Montreal. Inspiring talks & posters, and as always, a pleasure to catch up with friends and colleagues. I’m also very honoured to have been named an SPR Fellow – a recognition of my ongoing contributions to psychophysiology and SPR.

🚨 “Psychophys Is” 2025 video contest: winners announced! 🚨

Dr. Christine Larson gave an inspiring and insightful presidential address at #SPR2025 focusing on the importance of taking social context into account when using Psychophysiological methods. What a way to close out a great conference. Bravo! @therealspr.bsky.social

Also, I can't believe the SPR Blues Band has been at it for 25 years. That means we were there when they started that up! If that was in 2000, it was an auspicious year. John Allen and James Gross got the early career award and Richie was president.

This year was Chris’ turn to be President 🥳

Genius

@clarsonsbrain.bsky.social underscoring the importance of context and lived experience in trauma - make that in all our research really. Presidential Address @therealspr.bsky.social

I am deeply honored and grateful to have been selected as an SPR Fellow in recognition of my contributions to psychophysiology. @therealspr.bsky.social has always been and will remain my scientific home and family.

Exceptional keynote from the legendary Dr. Michelle Craske🌟She highlighted her ongoing work on mechanistic insights into threat and reward systems, which continues to be instrumental for advancing precise & effective interventions for depression and anxiety #2025SPR

The #2025SPR President's Symposium on Diversity, Equity, and Representation featured some fantastic discussions of necessary considerations and improvements to be made in our research approaches! @therealspr.bsky.social

Kicking off an interesting symposium on sleep and physiology: Emily Cardenas shared fascinating work on the peripartum period, showing that in women with a more reduced reward response (RewP) sleep problems were more strongly linked to depressive symptoms 💤 #2025SPR

Research by Kreshnik Burani demonstrated that individuals with Social Anxiety Disorder continue selecting the same option even while losing, showing potential deficits in learning from losses compared to healthy control participants. #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social

At #SPR2025 Dr. Andres Keil hosted a wonderful discussion about peer review at The Journal of Psychophysiology. One takeaway: a methods checklists submitted by authors could fast track the review process and reduce burden on reviewers. @akeil1927.bsky.social @therealspr.bsky.social

Great talk by Simone Battaglia, recipient of an SPR Early Career Award at #SPR2025

Julia Klawohn, recipient of a SPR early career award presenting her line of work on the predictive and treatment sensitive role of the ERN for depression and obsessive complusive disorder at #SPR2025

🏅#2025SPR Early Career Awardees, Dr. Simone Battaglia and Dr. Julia Klawohn. Dr. Battaglia shared about his research on fear learning on emotion and Dr. Klawohn presented her research on ERPs relevant for clinical populations. 🧠⚡ @therealspr.bsky.social

#2025SPR Dr. Daniel Bradford accepted his early career award from 2024 and presented his work on alcohol effects on neural activity and startle response. 🧠🍺⚡ @therealspr.bsky.social

Really interesting symposium examining different ecological influences (SES, stress, & caregiver emotions, behaviors & interactions) on neurodevelopment from infancy through adolescence. A thought-provoking discussion by Dr. Lisa Gatzke-Kopp. @therealspr.bsky.social

SFFTs and wavelets and SpecParam (oh my!) at "Advances in the Analysis of Oscillatory Brain Activity" at #2025SPR this afternoon. Always great to learn more about EEG in the frequency domain! @therealspr.bsky.social

At #2025SPR, @yannikstegmann.bsky.social’s insightful talk on attentive immobility shared that heightened arousal and increased alpha suppression when anticipating threat avoidance only benefit the motor response but not memory encoding. @therealspr.bsky.social

Work by Xin Hu and Lauren Bylsma demonstrates combining self-report EMA and passive psychophysiological measures improves prediction of active SI in adults with ASD. #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social

I just attended a truly amazing Keynote Talk at #SPR2025 by Dr. Daniel S. Bassett titled “Network Cognition in a Curious World”. They covered how humans engage in the world, build models, and how the brain builds these models. Check out their work! @therealspr.bsky.social @danisbassett.bsky.social

Had a great time presenting data from the CoScience project

Had a great time today presenting data from the CoScience project at the #SPR2025 meeting @therealspr.bsky.social examining potential RewP blunting in subclinical depressive symptoms @anjariesel.bsky.social
If you're interested in the project/ dataset check out www.coscience-personality.com

Really enjoyed Symposium 4.2: Biopsychosocial Perspectives on Emotion Regulation at #SPR2025. It is always cool to hear about a variety of psychophys measures. The talks explored potential mechanisms and exciting opportunities for intervention. @therealspr.bsky.social

Second day in Montréal at the #spr2025 and very excited for my poster presentation today! Come meet me to talk about our ideas and results on the relation between cognition and HRV
in internalizing disorders 🫀- really excited about this work together with @juliaklawohn.bsky.social

Sneak peak 👇

Interesting talk about physiological synchrony in a trust game - variations depending on face2face versus non-visible partner by @fabioladiana.bsky.social at #SPR2025
