** Recruiting a postdoc ** We are looking for a postdoc to work on emotion, mental health, and interoception, based in London at @ucl.ac.uk in my lab (Clinical and Affective Neuroscience). Part of a large Wellcome Grant (co-led with the brilliant @camillanord.bsky.social)

A "methods primer" article in the journal "BMJ Medicine", titled "Factors associated with: problems of using exploratory multivariable regression to identify causal risk factors"

We wrote an article explaining why you shouldn't put several variables into a regression model and report which are statistically significant - even as exploratory research. bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/4/1/.... How did we do?

📢 NEW PREPRINT 📢 We show a metacognitive paradox (not blanket deficit!) in OCD: confidence is persistently lower, but fluctuations track evidence more tightly and are nearer Bayes-optimal.

A short, relatable message about a migrant worker boosted positivity toward EU #immigration by 20 points among UK voters.

The latest @campsydept.bsky.social #research suggests that pro-immigration arguments can be effective for the UK electorate 👇

German police brutality targets pro-Palestine movement: Injured protester Police punch Kitty O’Brien, an Irish citizen, and break their arm at a recent rally in Berlin.

Very cool new preprint from @aleyamarzuki.bsky.social : using app tracking, we show that drops in metacognition predict OCD symptom fluctuations - across tasks and self-reports!
Check out this thread for all the details 👇🏼

Lots of gratitude to my collaborators, Luca, @lenarddome.bsky.social, @samuelhewitt.bsky.social, and @tobiasuhauser.bsky.social for this one! 🪷 Excited to conduct more research in the EMA/mental health tracking space in the near future 👀

Our study neatly shows how the dynamics of mental health can be studied on a day-to-day basis, wherein interesting directional effects of cognitive processes on mental health symptoms can be uncovered!

This paves way for using symptom tracking to design effective just-in-time treatments 🧠

🚨New pre-print out! 🍂

Using daily gamified smartphone 📱 tracking, we found that reductions in both self- and decision-making confidence precede when people are likely to report experiencing symptoms of OCD.

Prof. Dr. Tobias Hauser: Können wir OCD im Gehirn sehen? (#34) Erfahre in unserem Podcast von erfahrenen Spezialisten und Betroffenen, wie man eine Zwangsstörung überwindet.

Did you know OCD is a complex brain-based disorder.
In this podcast (in German), we dive into the neuroscience of OCD and our lab’s cutting-edge research: www.ocdland.com/podcast/34 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Brain Explorer - Test your brain power The brain explorer app for Apple and Android tests your brain functions and helps researchers to understand the brain. Explore your brain power and how brain functions are important for mental health.

#OCD is a understudied disorder, meaning that we know way too little about the underlying (brain) processes.
We have thus built the Brain Explorer app www.brainexplorer.net where everyone can easily contribute to understanding OCD.

It's #MentalHealthAwareness week - time for facts: OCD is not about being tidy. It’s a serious mental health condition rooted in brain processes — and we’re studying it.
