Heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the widely used physiological measures in psychophysiological research. But with over 100 indices to choose from, how do we know which ones to use?

In our latest paper, we take a data-driven approach to help answer this.

I am pleased to share our paper showing that daily assessment improves the precision of #self-harm and #suicide prediction beyond the data available at the start of a hospital admission. psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

delighted to see this published 🙌 using EMA, we (with @roryoc.bsky.social) investigated suicidal ideation in daily life. we found that it arises from an interaction of within-person increases in loneliness and an individual’s level of personality functioning psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Participants of the MITNB workshop, where we stand outside in a group of around 40 people

1st day of #MITNB meeting at @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social. Excited for the week ahead, where we'll tackle measurement issues in #ESM, e.g. modeling processes across timescales, building a formal theory on measurement, and evaluating statistical assumptions in #ESM data.
Go teamwork <3

🚨 New preprint: We compared 13 methods for detecting momentary careless responding in the WARN-D data (206k+ obs.). Tutorials guide you through each method. The takeaway? Diverging results, inherent subjectivity (to varying degrees), and a clear need for further validation.

So proud of superstar @miriamhehlmann.bsky.social and thrilled she'll be joining us for a summer fellowship to launch this important work at NYC !! 🦄🍎

📣 If you’re attending #SPRKrakow2025 and curious about how EMA can be integrated into clinical practice, don‘t miss these panels tomorrow:

🕙 10:00 - 11:15 „EMA - Ways to extend psychotherapy as usual“

🕧 11:30 - 12:45 „Enhancing Clinical Practice with EMA“ organized by @miriamhehlmann.bsky.social

📱 Want to know when to schedule your #EMA / #ESM beeps for the highest completion rates?

⏰ Timing matters: some moments during the day and week are more receptive than others.

Accounting for Measurement Invariance Violations in Careless Responding Detection in Intensive Longitudinal Data: Exploratory vs. Partially Constrained Latent Markov Factor Analysis Intensive longitudinal data (ILD) collection methods like experience sampling methodology can place significant burdens on participants, potentially resulting in careless responding, such as random...

New article in MBR⭐: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... We show that latent Markov factor analysis (LMFA) can detect different types of careless responding in experience sampling data while also accounting for changes in attentive responding. With Esther Ulitzsch and @joranjongerling.bsky.social

Enthusiasm about integrating EMA methods into clinical practice is widespread, but there is little to no evidence that it is worth the effort. This article comments on five "pleasing myths" on this matter.
