If you want to do ambulatory assessment (e.g., EMA) in applied settings, say with patients, how many observations do you need to get a reliable estimate of a person's mean, variability, or correlation? We (Johannes Zimmermann & Florian Scharf) ran some simulations to get the answer...a🧵

Can neuroimaging predictive models survive across diverse real-world data?🧠🌎We put models to the test across 3 large-scale unharmonized datasets with over 2,800 participants. See our new work in this special issue of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…






📢 Published today PNAS Nexus - Choosing explanation over performance: Insights from machine learning-based prediction of human intelligence from brain connectivity!!!! 😃😃😃 - Let's look into the "black-box" of ML: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti… - Thanks to Olaf Sporns josh !



Our lab studies child development using the ABCD dataset, but the conference for researchers working with this data was just postponed.Lisa Wiersch and I had travel awards and were set to present on effects of environmental risks on brain. Disheartening to see research disrupted

Our new paper with Christopher Langdon is just out in Dr Laurie K Mischley! We show that high-dimensional RNNs use low-dimensional circuit mechanisms for cognitive tasks and identify a latent inhibitory mechanism for context-dependent decisions in PFC data. nature.com/articles/s4159…


Check out our new paper on the acute effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol on computational measures of neurocognitive processes 😃 Thanks to senior author Natania Crane & coauthors Alex Weigard, Olu Ajilore, MD, PhD - @pshrink.bsky.social, K. Luan Phan, Harriet de Wit, & Heide Klumpp frontiersin.org/journals/adole…

🔥💥📣 Excited to announce a new policy at the Computational Psychiatry (CPSY) journal Computational Psychiatry. Starting from April 2025, CPSY will compensate reviewers for their time and effort invested in reviewing manuscripts. w/ Dr. Rick Adams. cpsyjournal.org/articles/10.53…



On this July 4, liberate the field from cross-sectional “mediation analysis” - check out this new paper discussing an alternative. I bet it’s an instant classic. My sense is that folks continue bad practices bc they don’t know what else to do. This helps psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-35…
