📣 Final version of our @elife.bsky.social article is now online! We show that in individuals with moderately low baseline performance, methamphetamine reduces the tendency to misinterpret high outcome noise. 🥳

🧠💊New preprint differentiating antipsychotic medication vs. illness effects on cortical thickness in people w/ psychosis.

Finding: People receiving placebo show prominent cortical thinning over 1st year of illness, whereas those receiving antipsychotics do not. 1/3

Learning an association does not always succeed on the first attempt. What are the brain mechanisms underlying adaptations in memory formation on following learning attempts?

We addressed this question by quantifying single-trial fMRI stimulus processing evidence: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

With single-trial analysis, this fMRI study shows that activity in brain areas associated with error monitoring & cognitive control differentiates between items remembered correctly vs those where mistakes persist.
