BREAKING: Die SPD-Fraktion startete gerade einen Protestmarsch durch Berlin – mit Pistorius an der Spitze. Warum das eine ziemlich gute Idee ist: 1. Es unterbricht den üblichen Kreislauf (Botschaft: NICHTS ist okay). 2. Keine geleckten Instagram-Marketing-Videos (wie bei allen anderen Parteien)

📢 Out now in PLOS Comp Biol: **cpm** — a Python library for theory-driven modelling in computational psychiatry. No scikit-learn for mechanistic cognitive models — so we built one: RL, prospect-theory & metacognition, hierarchical Bayes, and as many more as you can code 🔗 doi.org/10.1371/jour...

I am super thrilled to announce that I have been awarded an @erc.europa.eu Consolidator Grant to build novel interventions for #OCD. The plan is to exploit recent insights from computational neuroscience and closely work together with people with lived experience of OCD to create novel treatments.

5/6 In short: 💡 Rewards can encourage approach toward out-groups ❌ But they don’t easily alter underlying impressions This highlights both the promise and limits of non-social reinforcers in reducing social intergroup biases.

3/6 We ran three #preregistered online studies using a new #approach-avoidance learning task: ➡️ Participants moved a manikin towards or away from symbols (representing members of their in-group or out-group) and earned money depending on their choices. Would rewards shift biases?

4/6 Our key findings: - An initial in-group bias in approach behaviour and impression ratings ✅ - Rewarding out-group approach reduced this bias ✅ - People learned more from rewards than punishments ✅ - But… impressions of the out-group remained unchanged ❎

2/6 In a #social #intergroup context, humans often show #in-group biases: - More likely to approach - More positive impressions of individuals from their own group compared to others. But can #learning from external rewards/punishments reduce these biases?

I'm very excited to share that @wellcometrust.bsky.social has awarded us a big grant on studying information gathering biases in #OCD and #Schizophrenia in patients, rodents, using modelling & clinical interventions. More details here: devcompsy.org/2025/07/15/n...

Good morning #CPConf2025, having mixed feelings about the early morning? Maybe even facing an #approach-avoidance #conflict? Don't worry! Just drop by pi poster 3.14, to discuss the resolution of such conflicts.

Why it is time to say goodbye to Germany as an oasis of stability, and why ironically it was JD Vance in Munich who might have helped the centrist parties to get a grip now after all. My take on the most important elections in a generation on Sunday in Berlin. 👇👇
