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)

The Affective Science Lab will be well-represented at this years @affectscience.bsky.social conference!
Delighted to be collaborating with @xiaosigu.bsky.social with support from @srndna.bsky.social 🎉
My lab at UW Madison is hiring a new lab manager! I’m looking for a motivated and detail-oriented person to help run the lab’s day-to-day, including our ongoing neuroimaging and behavioral studies. This is especially well suited for graduating undergrads thinking about grad school. Link below
That usual NC weather spoils us too much 🤣
Snow in NC is always a little more “exciting,” as I fondly remember!
I'm looking to hire a postgraduate research associate in Computational Psychiatry for my new lab at Yale. Please see link below for details & help RT 🙏

I am recruiting a Postdoc to join my lab at UMN. If you or someone you know is interested in studying individual differences in brain and cognitive aging, check out the listing and my website in my bio and apply!
I appreciate RTs to help get the word out as well :)
This paper is a theoretical foundation of my future research, where I hope to leverage computational neuroscience and psychoneuroimmunology to further investigate how people related to each other at levels of the mind, body, and brain, + clinical implications.
This process allows relationships & loneliness to get under the skin to impact our physical and mental health. At the dysfunctional extreme may be borderline PD, where individuals report intense loneliness and unstable sense of self that is highly dependent on perceived relationships.
Much of our sense of self is also rooted in the body. As the brain integrates information from the body and the social environment, this process opens a pathway for interpersonal experiences to impact one’s own neurophysiological functioning.
People’s sense of self is closely linked to connections with others. That is, our subjectivity is interpersonal. Loneliness may reflect a sense of lacking this social piece of subjectivity.
Review & theory paper published from my doctoral comprehensive exam! On loneliness and neurophysiological self-other overlap, with discussions on its connection with borderline personality disorder. authors.elsevier.com/a/1mPdfY3M3p...
With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world:
gershmanlab.com/textbook.html
It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class.
My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.
Glad to share my first paper in postdoc! This was a huge undertaking by many people over the years. I hope you read it! But the short version is this: ACC integrates evidence from self experience and observed experience, and it weighs these sources differently by aligning readout more to the self.
If you analyse time-resolved data (M/EEG, iEEG, pupillometry, force recordings…) and feel limited by cluster-based permutation tests (CBPTs); especially when trying to determine when an effect starts or ends; you may want to try our new R package: lnalborczyk.github.io/neurogam/

Taking just another small step towards trying to reduce the stigma attached to borderline personality disorder & psychiatric illnesses - at ISSPD2025.
I’ve spent the last 8 years(!) working from the position that HiTOP relies too much on analyses of traditional diagnoses, baking in limitations of the DSM, and that we need to move to symptom-level analyses to fix it
It turns out that rebuilding HiTOP from the ground up doesn’t change much 💀

Just coming across this thread and would love to be added if new “applications” are still taken!
Check out our new chapter on Interoception's role in Social and Emotional Cognition. We begin by exploring WHY you might expect interoception to predict socioemotional cognition in the first place... Let us know what you think!

I see a study idea right there. Can certainly make it a hypothesis that it’s not how things work and show data!
