🚨Special issue in Schizophrenia Bulletin on Computational markers of psychosis - From latent states to neurobiological mechanisms! Led by @cognemo.bsky.social and me!! We are still accepting submissions until April 30 (despite the date in the website 😅)

academic.oup.com/schizophreni...

Still riding the energy from an amazing ACNP meeting 🌊 #ACNP2026
So grateful for the Travel Award, a fantastic symposium, and the chance to meet so many thoughtful, inspiring people while discussing the frontiers of neuropsychopharmacology.
Thank you, ACNP 💙

Panelists: Michael Treadway (Chair), Nadja Ging-Jehli, @rssmith.bsky.social, @cognemo.bsky.social, Carly Lasagna.

Across talks, the emphasis is on mechanism-based phenotyping: parsing heterogeneity within tasks, across task batteries, and over time, rather than relying on static group comparisons.

Highlights include:
• Mechanistic dissociation of maladaptive avoidance and well-being
• Reliable task-based markers linked to HiTOP traits and suicide capability
• Joint brain–behavior modeling of evidence accumulation in psychosis
• Gamified platforms capturing adaptive control and rigidity

We showcase computational approaches—reinforcement learning, diffusion decision models, active inference, and neural modeling—to dissect avoidance, rigidity, learning, and control across anxiety, psychosis, ADHD, depression, and suicide risk.

At #ACNP2026, our panel tackles a core challenge in psychiatry: symptom heterogeneity.
How do we move beyond diagnostic averages to mechanisms that explain why symptoms differ across individuals?

We’re bringing computational psychiatry to #ACNP2026

Our panel shows how RL, DDMs, active inference, and neural models can unpack symptom heterogeneity across anxiety, psychosis, ADHD, depression, and suicide risk-moving beyond diagnoses to mechanisms.

Thrilled to share that @cognemo.bsky.social and I are guest editors for a Schizophrenia Bulletin special issue on Computational markers of psychosis: From latent states to neurobiological mechanisms 🧠✨
If you’re working on this topic, we’d love to see your work!

#CPConf2025 is exploring multidimensional reward functions #RufusTempleOrchestra

Sorry: Poster 1.12 by Povilas Karvelis

Check out Poster 1.16 at #CPconf2025 showing that reduced MMN and heightened model-based prediction errors link to schizotypy traits and hippocampal glutamate levels, offering new insights into early cortical excitability and psychosis vulnerability. @m-kng.bsky.social

At #CPconf2025 we introduce a tool that translates effect sizes into clinical prediction metrics. It shows why small effects often fail in practice and highlights the need for better measurement reliability and stronger predictors. Poster 1.15

Well that was fun!

A big thank you @cognemo.bsky.social @rssmith.bsky.social @esterner.bsky.social & R. Maramotti for coming all the way to Würzburg and delivering amazing talks.

Bringing Active Inference down to empirical data is not an easy feat but today's symposium was really inspiring! 🤓

Computational Psychiatry Course Zurich An educational course about computational psychiatry from UZH & ETH Zurich.

Learn about (generative) modeling in #ComputationalPsychiatry by attending the #CPCZurich2025.
The BEST course for learning about different models (incl. tutorials), best practices, math backgrounds, and showcase your research in the poster session:

Have a great time at OHBM!

Really enjoyed presenting in this symposium! I loved hearing about different applications of Active Inference to address core questions in psychiatry.

Thrilled to co-chair my 1st symposium @ #PuG2025.
Make sure to drop by, this will be incredible! 🌟

Introducing a new tool from @tsbolt.bsky.social, find-viz (FMRI Interactive Navigation and Discovery Viewer)! It’s a browser-based visualization tool built with one purpose in mind: get researchers to spend more time looking at their fMRI data 🧠 @ohbmofficial.bsky.social @ohbmtrainees.bsky.social

Great panel discussion on the clinical utility of computational models.

At #SOBP2025, Poster S321 reveals that a gamified aversive Go/NoGo task yields reliable reaction-time metrics mirroring active escape tendencies and the interplay of internalizing distress with externalizing antagonism—pointing to digital risk screens. #SuicidePrevention @camhnews.bsky.social
