Currently investigating mechanistic underpinnings of blunted and constricted affect
It was a great pleasure presenting preliminary results from my ongoing study on social-affective inference and constricted affect at the @newybrains.bsky.social lunch symposium series.
We found some interesting first effects of positive affective surprise and bodily responses. 🙂

Bye bye Amsterdam! Met so many great people @cogcompneuro.bsky.social !

Such an amazing conference and an amazing group of people organisers and attendees alike. 🌿🌟🩵 #CCN2025

See you next year or the year after!

Another thing that came up during our #ccn2025 lunch that I did not mention was my personal issue as a single parent on academia.
I have to bring my son to conferences. He is a good boy and not too roudy but I still spend my energy being wary of other peoples perception. "Are they annoyed?"

Poster session coming up at @cogcompneuro.bsky.social !

The calm before the storm 🌟

If you are part of the wave coming in and are interested in generative mechanistic modeling of constricted affect and task based fMRI find me at my poster #11 🙂

Arrived in Frankfurt with the Deutsche Bahn and honestly it went great! I have been lucky with DB so far...

Traveling with the train to @cogcompneuro.bsky.social in Amsterdam!

I love taking the train 🩵.

Counting myself lucky to have a second home in my former PhD lab.

Putting in some work during my Europe holiday. 🩵

Last work day in Newy with my amazing team and my boy before my long trip to Europe and another conference day with @newybrains.bsky.social.

Back in Newy 🩵💙🩵

Beautiful closing remarks by new #OHBM chair @drbreaky.bsky.social

Had the best time, exchanged so many new ideas, and connected with so many new and "old" people at #OHBM2025! See you in 2026!

Made it to the #OHBM2025 reception for the briefest time and even managed to dance. He has better moves than I am thats for sure...

Kicking off #OHBM2025 with the naturalistic stimuli educational course. Loving it already!!

Conferencing with kids.
How it started...

Arrived in Brisbane 🙂

Prepping my schedule for #AS4SAN and #HBM2025 @ohbmofficial.bsky.social in Brisbane.
Yellow for the sessions I can bring my son along to, red for sessions I need to find a sitter for, green for would be nice to not have my tiny buddy with me...

(Single) parenting in academia means that your kid may help debug your task by posing as a participant.
Getting his genuinely happy reaction after receiving smiles and seeing how he was loving the control (egg collecting) task was quite cool 🙂🌟

Home office can be so peaceful sometimes.

Had a great time presenting my current study and first behavioural pilot data at the Emerging Researcher Conference by @newybrains.bsky.social.

The research program funds parts of my scans and the EMG electrodes, without which it would be impossible for me to run this study.

Can I be super annoying and air my grievances about how this picture does most probably NOT depict Bayes. It even says so in the picture legend on wikipedia... and yet it keeps appearing. Can my historians dig out an actual depiction of his if any one exists?
