We're so proud of this one - great to see it out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social now! See Johannes' threads for what we did & found. Excited to be using TUS and what it will teach us about the neural basis of affective cognition ✨
Very happy our first paper using ultrasound stimulation (TUS) to stimulate the human amygdala (BLA) got out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social today! 🎉🥳🔊Great FUN with co-first authors @mirunmigyu.bsky.social @lilweb.bsky.social in @mkflugge.bsky.social 's lab! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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

🚀 Excited to announce that I'm looking for people (PhD/Postdoc) to join my Cognitive Modelling group @uniosnabrueck.bsky.social. If you want to join a genuinely curious, welcoming and inclusive community of Coxis, apply here: tinyurl.com/coxijobs Please RT - deadline is Jan 4‼️
In other news, I am now a ✨ COXI ✨ (cognitive scientist in Osnabrück, Germany) www.uni-osnabrueck.de/en/campus-li... I'll be looking for PhD students & postdocs later this year, so watch this space if combining cognitive modelling, EEG & tFUS to study flexible cognition sounds exciting to you 🚀

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! 🤓
Thrilled to co-chair my 1st symposium @ #PuG2025. Make sure to drop by, this will be incredible! 🌟 Thu, 19.06.2025, 10:30-12:30 (session 1.013 Z6) "Active Inference in Psychiatry" w/ R. Smith, R. Maramotti, @cognemo.bsky.social & co-chair @esterner.bsky.social 👇 www.pug2025.org/de/sessions/...

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: www.translationalneuromodeling.org/cpcourse/

For everyone who is interested in being part of the field, best way to start is the #CPCZurich. translationalneuromodeling.org/cpcourse/
Of all the interesting subjects one can study! This starter pack sounds amazing: “Researchers applying computational modeling to psychiatry” Can’t wait to have a lot of new input in my feed. go.bsky.app/5PTy9Zj
Really enjoyed presenting in this symposium! I loved hearing about different applications of Active Inference to address core questions in psychiatry.

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.
Sneak peak from #HBHLSymposium2025 📸 Experts from @mcgill.ca, CAMH & WesternU explored the future of computational neuroscience in a fascinating session on #AI, #cognition, brain networks & #mentalhealth research! 🧠 @paulmasset.bsky.social @cognemo.bsky.social @tyrellturing.bsky.social
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

More from the CogNeMo Lab: we introduce a web 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 S87 at #SOBP2025 @camhnews.bsky.social
More from the CogNeMo Lab at #SOBP2025: Neurocomputational modeling reveals cortical disinhibition during semantic processing in high risk for psychosis. Model-derived E/I imbalance forecasts social decline 1 year later. Poster F268 @camhnews.bsky.social
Check out CogNeMo Lab presentations at #SOBP2025 today: Scalable, gamified tasks map psychosis spectrum symptoms to decision-making and social cognition Poster F254 @oreogundipe.bsky.social @camhnews.bsky.social
Check out the CogNeMo Lab at #SOBP2025 and Poster T335! Using computational fMRI, we identify distinct neural signatures of suicidal ideation vs. suicide attempts - putamen, insula, and brainstem activation patterns diverge. Funded by @afspnational.bsky.social
Can computational assays be both rigorous and scalable? Check out Poster T113 at #SOBP2025 in Toronto! We share psychometric results from a 4-task RDoC-aligned battery highlighting what works, what doesn’t, and what’s next. cognemo.com.
