Backlash against the state government in IA that is much more Republican and pro-Trump, and has over-played their hand.

Backlash against the state government in IA that is much more Republican and pro-Trump, and has over-played their hand.
I've written almost the same thing in a paper... not easy to figure out how to make a paper using Bayesian stats meet the statistical reporting requirements for a medical journal + satisfy non-stats-savvy reviewers used to checklists

Now out in JEP: General, "How working memory and reinforcement learning interact when avoiding punishment and pursuing reward concurrently"

Yup, clin psych PhDs could apply if the project was within NSF's scope. Now they are specifically excluded.
NRSA is a good fit but not for early grad school or post-bac applicants like the GRFP. Not a whole lot of foundation fellowships for that period of training either 😕
I am looking to hire a great postdoc to join our lab in sunny Eugene at the University of Oregon for fun behavioral/fMRI experiments on sensorimotor control in young and older adults. Please share/get in touch if interested! pages.uoregon.edu/mmar/
I got diagnosed with POTS a few years ago after 20 years of weird symptoms, and this really resonates. Thanks for writing this.
@andrewpapale.bsky.social 's new explore/exploit paper in JNeurosci with @vanessabrown.bsky.social @drangelaianni.bsky.social Michael Hallquist & Bea Luna: www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...
PFC-DMN and hippocampus encode value maxima in exploitation, but their synchronization peaks in exploration.
Lol that's the work of our old provost (aihumanity.emory.edu) whose departure to OSU wasn't exactly mourned
Wow: @ajc.com's Lautaro Grinspan reports that in just one week in October, ICE spent nearly $950,000 on ads in Atlanta — more spending than in any other U.S. city.
That amount would've been enough to provide SNAP benefits for over 20,000 Atlantans every month.
Screenshot with text: The Computational Mechanisms of Psychopathology Lab (COMPLab; PI: Vanessa Brown, PhD) is recruiting for a postdoctoral fellow to join the lab. Research in the lab uses behavioral tasks (administered in-lab and remotely), functional and structural imaging, computational modeling, and mechanistic interventions (brief psychotherapy, neuromodulation) to investigate learning alterations in anxiety and related disorders. In particular, this position will support research funded by a new NIH R01 using predictive and generative modeling of threat imminence to understand and manipulate avoidance in anxiety. This position is ideal for someone with a background in some combination of behavior/learning theory approaches to anxiety, computational modeling of behavior, and fMRI analysis; and who wishes to gain or deepen expertise in these areas. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to design experiments, analyze data, present and publish findings, apply for external funding, and assist with training other lab members and with lab management. Dr. Brown and the COMP Lab are strongly committed to mentorship, and support will be provided to assist the postdoctoral fellow to prepare for an independent research career.
I am recruiting a postdoc for a new NIMH-funded R01 using neural and behavioral models to understand anxious avoidance. Please share with anyone who may be interested!

1: In 2023, I wrote this paper arguing that research on active ingredients of CBT, and by extension on their mechanisms, is not close to improving therapy outcomes.
I just read a paper on inhibitory learning improving outcomes of exposure. Egg on my face?

I agree, but at the same time I see people get hopeful about all these small-N studies coming across my feed, many of which are, at worst, clearly noise, or at best, unlikely to be replicable (e.g., see here for why the LC vs control prediction is flawed given the N: www.nature.com/articles/s41...)
I dunno if it's worth getting hopes up for.
It's an interesting finding but the sample size is small, it uses a relatively unproven PET tracer, and the statistics are a bit fishy (though I know more about MRI than PET so not sure how fishy). I wouldn't say they've found a definitive biomarker as much as established that it's worth studying.

Hey, Neuroimaging friends: I am getting laid off soon due to the cuts to NIH. I have filled out applications far and wide to no avail.
Does anyone have any leads on a lab that might be able to use someone with a strong background in neuroimaging data analytics?
I use it with canvas and there are about 1-2 students each time (out of 30-50) who have glitches. I print off a few paper copies for this. Best approach I have found, esp. since some students need to use computers for disability reasons
I've been trying to switch to an actual stimulant for a couple years now but I guess drs are not too excited about switching to a scheduled drug. If it's an NDRI is it sunosi? Not sure I want to try another NDRI but I'm glad it's working for you!
Interesting, thanks! I was curious because I started on bupropion for fatigue before being diagnosed with POTS, and it helps the fatigue but makes the core POTS symptoms worse (was a blessing in disguise because it made me actually notice those symptoms and figure out my diagnosis).
How does it help POTS for you?
Please repost! We're hiring a postdoc to work with me and
@salagapan.bsky.social on an exciting interdisciplinary project in human neuroscience and brain-body interactions underlying effortful behavior in health and mood disorders.

I'm sorry to be missing it (not at CPC this year) but excited to check out the preprint!
1. I have spent a lot of time recently sending invitations for people to review papers, and this process works extremely differently from what I imagined when I was a student. Wanted to write out how I do it in case that's helpful for you all as you submit papers.

My trainee self ventured into methods my advisors weren't experts in, and some of the best help I got was through some form of peer review (mostly people stopping at my conf posters to tell me I'd done things wrong). Done constructively and thoughtfully, critical peer review isn't a bad thing.
I have... thoughts... about this paper. It is easy to get poor reliability. Lots of papers already out on what methods etc. help to get good reliability. Sam Zorowitz & Yael Niv have a good review paper on this.
About my social media grant... mind you the "activities" being referenced are simply that we measure these variables and they'll be features in some machine learning model. The two sociodemographics that most often come up in the moral panic about social media are gender and LGBTQ+ status.
Hmm looked it up and it's six years and only at some institutes (NIMH is one). So not as bad as I thought
Not to disagree that this is something - but may not help many people affected
Isn't there a five year time limit post-PhD for Ks though? And less for K99 IIRC. If that still applies then not many people will still be eligible.
And this is just to apply, not to get a new award. Even if new app is funded it will be a year+ delay between the cancelled grant and a new one.
