Come do some exciting research with us!

New paper with Prof Sarah-Jayne Blakemore Gabriele Chierchia!📢How do young people gather information to construct their sense of self? We investigated self-referential processing across 11 to 30 year olds. 🧵 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S08…

In this new preprint we ask: What drives #anhedonia? Problems with experiencing pleasure, reward valuation, or reward learning? Jon Roiser 🟣, Vincent Valton and I reviewed the evidence from mostly cross-sectional studies in depression and schizophrenia psyarxiv.com/cya6r 🧵1/

Quentin is always up for talking about science and has been an incredibly supportive supervisor - this is a great opportunity!

New preprint out, with Oliver Robinson and Jon Roiser 🟣! 📢 ‘Measuring cognitive effort without difficulty’ doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…. We highlight a major confound in previous cog effort tasks and present a new task that solves this.🧵 #cognitiveeffort #effort #cogneuro @ucl_icn

Definitely the best primary PhD supervisor I've ever had 😄

We’re running a study to investigate how Escitalopram (antidepressant) works in anxiety. Understanding how antidepressants work in the brain is key to improving treatment and ensuring more people are able to access an effective treatment more quickly linktr.ee/beads_study

Answer this and help a girl finish her PhD on time 🙋🏽‍♀️

New preprint ! 📢📢 Very happy to share some recent work looking at the holy trinity of transdiagnostic symptom dimensions (anxious-depression, compulsivity and social withdrawal) and how we can optimise their measurement. psyarxiv.com/q83sh Some key points below… 1/n

🎉 Massive thank you to my examiners, supervisors and colleagues for all the support. Very proud to be over the finish line but also sad to be leaving this lab! Guess I’m joining the alumni crew of permanent lab slack lurkers…

Catastrophizing paper alert 🚨! We (Mia Harada-Laszlo, Anahita Talwar, and Oliver Robinson) tested whether catastrophizers responded differently to things 'going wrong' - i.e. if they received 'a series of unfortunate events' (or negative outcomes) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mh…
