Threading the needle: Practical considerations for merging theory-driven computational psychiatry with data-driven analytics to enhance precision health at scale The rapidly evolving field of computational psychiatry enables quantification of specific cognitive processes, and their underlying mechanisms, in a translational and potentially scalable manner, usin...

Excited to share our latest paper in which we discuss merging theory-and data- driven computational psychiatry in a large transdiagnostic cohort study (N=2400)

Trials for computational psychiatry - Nature Computational Science Computational psychiatry is increasingly delivering causal evidence by focusing on interventions research and clinical trials. Causal evidence could improve patient outcomes through improved precision, repurposing, novel interventions, scaling of psychotherapy and better translation to the clinic.

In a Comment, @docqhuys.bsky.social and Michael Browning argue that the field of computational psychiatry will improve patient outcomes through its increasing focus on interventions and trials. #mentalhealthresearch #Psychiatry

Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making - Nature Brain-wide recordings in mice reveal that prior expectations are distributed through recurrent loops across all levels of cortical and subcortical processing.

The brain's priors have been found! They were hiding everywhere: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... So if this is true for "simple" decisions, it should also be true for more complex ones, like, say, emotions, right?

Amazing news, many congratulatins @behrenstimb.bsky.social

🧵 New paper! We studied depression symptoms and goal-directed decisions under uncertainty

@shiyiliang.bsky.social, with @evanrussek.bsky.social & @robbrutledge.bsky.social

Surprisingly, we found that apathy–anhedonia was linked to enhanced goal-directed behavior. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
