A great week of meetings and presenting in Melbourne, including a visit to @orygen.org.au hosted by @sidchop.bsky.social & Lianne Schmaal. Now off to Brisbane for #OHBM2025. I'll be presenting Tuesday and Wednesday, 9am in the Great Hall both days :)

Social anxiety may be related to physical avoidance of aversive stimuli in an interactive game. Our latest study, led by @purnimaqamar.bsky.social. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Check our latest work ‘Linking Subjective Experience of Anxiety to Brain Function using Natural Language Processing’. Our analyses link movie-evoked brain activity and subsequent interview recordings in a pediatric sample with and without anxiety disorders (doi.org/10.31234/osf...).

Our report on "The Relations Among Anxiety, Movie-Watching, and In-Scanner Motion" is out now in Human Brain Mapping. In short: even anxiety-evoking movies reduce pediatric in-scanner movement compared to 'rest', highlighting its benefit for developmental neuroimaging. doi.org/10.1002/hbm....

Update on our study into movie-evoked changes in brain-heart coherence: in addition to suspenseful vs non-suspenseful movie clips, we've now added a contrast to 'rest' which further supports the idea that anxiogenic movie-watching might reduce brain-heart coherence. osf.io/preprints/ps...
