The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard.

A huge milestone for the lab, and for me personally! Thank you Israel Science Foundation #ISF for supporting our research on #nocebo effects in everyday life. We'll examine how health perceptions causally shape physical health outcomes, and study the physiological mechanisms involved.

This seems relevant to psychedelic research, where expectancy is still often viewed only as a baseline variable. We should also consider its dynamic changes, how (psychedelic & other) treatment experiences influence them, and their impact on outcomes.

In psychotherapy, treatment expectations matter. But even more powerful? ➡️ How they change over time. Our new paper shows that updating expectations during psychotherapy for MDD predicts depression outcomes. 🔗 www.tandfonline.com/eprint/WRBWU...

Crazy concluding talk by Ivan de Araujo about the role of the central amygdala in regulating the vagal nerve in response to stress. It causes altered immunity through inhibition of mucosal secretion in the gut!! Absolutely fascinating to reveal the mechanisms stress's impact on immunity!

Can we enhance interoception by controlling the heart? Thrilled to share our new study, led by @ashleytyrer.bsky.social , where we use computational modeling to show that blockading peripheral noradrenaline uniquely alters awareness of heart rate & breathing! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵👇

Lab's first published paper!! 🚨 We introduce Perceived Immunity (PI) - a new construct capturing perceived immune efficacy. Using a novel scale, we show that PI prospectively predicts physical symptoms up to 14 months later, beyond baseline symptoms.
